One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
Kotlin is great, learning Android not so much.
It's not something you can do on top of other things, it's a full time activity. The SDK is huge, always moving, you never know what are the current best practices, which would be soon obsolete anyway. There are lots of landmines ready to explode in Android development, so if you learnt JavaScript you will probably feel at home :)
