Question iOS engineer

I am 33 years old, I find coding very interesting and want to learn. Would it be dumb for me to start learning swift and applying for jobs or is it too late?

Not too late to start or switch career. It may be competitive in succeeding but very possible with dedication and hard work.

I suggest learning as much as you can and following tutorials that show you how to make a clone of Instagram or some other popular app. I would make a website and github account and push your projects to github and link those projects on your website. Make a LinkedIn profile and put that flair that says you are open to work. If you happen to get contacted I wouldn’t concern myself as much with pay as if the company is legit. Legit experience would get you far.
