Need Advice about mobile dev

Hello everyone! I’m new to mobile development and planning to start with native Android development using Kotlin. I’m considering whether to learn Kotlin alongside Jetpack Compose or to begin with the traditional XML and Java/Kotlin approach. Could you share the pros and cons of each, especially for a beginner? Additionally, having some background in JavaScript, I’m also curious about cross-platform technologies like Flutter and React Native. Which would you recommend considering job market trends and the learning curve for someone open to mastering new technologies? My goal is to get hired by the end of this year after self-learning and building projects. I would appreciate any advice on the best learning resources, types of projects that would impress potential employers, and insights into the supportiveness of the communities for Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native. Thank you!
