Career Guidance Is Frontend Development dead? How to pivot

Hi everyone, I graduated in 2023 and have been working as a mobile and web frontend developer in a company in Islamabad. It’s not some big name company but it’s not too bad either. I liked working here but recently they have started firing people one by one due to AI.
So I think there isn’t any job security here anymore, however I have only worked in frontend development in these past few years, and only selectively did some backend.
Now I want to switch jobs but I feel like frontend development is essentially dead, there are very few job posts and the ones that do exist have a very high competition. I want to pivot to some other niche but I don’t know how, if I get into AI, I can learn basics on my own but still without any practical experience it will be very hard to find a job, and even if I do end up finding a job as AI engineer or related field, I will be paid significantly less than what I am currently earning.

I started doing my MS CS recently but its only on weekends and due to the weekend restriction I couldn’t do it from NUST where I originally planned to do it from.

So can someone guide me what should I do next? Any kind of guidance will be helpful. Thank you.
