What kind of domains did you have in mind?

That's the right question. I don't like this dichotomy between domain and engineering. It seems to come from people who just build different CRUD apps for mobile and websites for businesses in different industries and that's what they call domain.
Not like a webdev entering game engine design or a database engineer entering computer vision research, or someone working in embedded hard-realtime systems switching to making video editing GUIs.
That's a fair question. I suspect highly specialised industries are harder (rocket and space, defense, nuclear, etc), but for things like finance (most of it, anyway) and retail, which IME make the bulk of the tech jobs out there, it's certainly nothing out of this world.
