As many in this industry have experienced. think the only real answer is an in industry change, but it’s hard to do mid career.

What do you think about switching tech stacks vs becoming an expert in one stack? I am a backend Java engineer, and have solely used Java since I've started my software engineering career about 2 years ago.
