Kotlin is not ideal for iOS development afaik (maybe with RoboVM). With regards to Android development, it is perfect. For desktop applications it's good, there are always tradeoffs here. With regards to payment, I believe it is generally the case that you're paid more the harder the language is to learn (so C > C# > Python). This also affects how much people are looking for a certain kind of developer - there are more JS jobs than jobs requiring a C++ developer. Kotlin is a good choice to start though. It's not too complicated, it's not so simple that it's limiting you somehow, it's not too slow for most applications (+ it supports native somewhat) and it has a good environment with stable libraries you can rely on.
