Selling yourself as a Cybersecurity dev from Iraq will probably be harder than selling yourself as a frontend engineer. So I would focus on improving frontend skills and marketing.

You didn't mention it as an option, but if you are tiring of frontend, I would consider pivoting to doing backend/fullstack/data engineering. Boost your database/analytics skills. Your front-end experience can help you have a nice niche in that backend space once you master backend work.

But this is just a guess on my part from an American developer/architect/hiring manager in both startups and large companies whose frontend skills plateaued 20 years ago at the expense of backend skills but who lightly follows frontend technologies.






I agree. It'll be hard to get hired in security due to your location.
