@@toluwanimibankole2345 no genuinely except those 30 likes no one mentioned it. In java or c family it doesnt bother that much cause its visible but in python ur debugging for hours to find why ur code doesnt give u the wanted result
What I stumbling into totally by chance is a job with a client who is starting his own company with a business software he wants to write himself with just a basic knowledge of coding, so he needed someone to discuss his problems with. I'm not even teaching him much cuz he mainly learns my watching tutorials and reading books, I'm just helping him fix his coding problems, like a human StackOverflow lol (needless to say, that job pays pretty well)

A note about contract work: I was shocked to learn they make less than employees in the U.S. Where I live (Sweden), contractors get paid about 4x as an employee. And employees have very high salary. So contract work here is extremely lucrative.
that's because it is wrong. I made more money as a contractor in the US right out of college than I did in my next 3 jobs in the first 10 years. You have to pay for your own benefits, but I still came out with more money than the benefits. Also, you as a contractor, have more freedom than a normal employee (in hours and what they're allowed to ask you to do) and often there are laws that defend your right as a contractor
@@cupcakemcsparklebutt9051 He means that if you do the code for them they will fail their exam because they didn't do it themselves and didn't learn because of that.
I'd beg to differ on the "Contract " opinion.... I get paid 30k USD in India which is huge.... I just have to keep myself up to date and switch every 6 months.... For which I get a 30% raise again... So it's good too man
May I have your email ?, I work as a contract developer for a very reputed company but get paid like 30% of it, I have 2.5 half years of developer experience and I get like 7.7k USD / year. It'd be great to learn from you and your insights. Thanks!
I've a question though. I've started learning coding sometime ago, but I don't know when and what kinds of job opportunities to hone my skills and build my existence in this industry. What and how does a fresh coder do? What could be the starting point? I'm not aware of much other than that the paths might vary and evolve depending on your knowledge and skill set. I'd love to be informed/enlightened on these terms
People get stuck on which programming language to learn but there are several other factors that are just as important. The first is you need to get good at problem solving with code. Knowing a language's syntax is not enough. If you know how to solve problems then switching to other languages is easy. Number two is that you first need to choose a framework, SDK, and libraries best for the specific task and then learn the language that framework uses. It should be a framework you can get a job in if that's your goal. Do some research on which frameworks companies use. Lastly, you should experiment and see what field interests you. You might have a deep passion for data science or app development that you don't know of if you don't try it. Good luck with your journey and happy coding!
If I may stick my 2c in? Unless you’re looking for the experience. Avoid a dev shop. It sounds awesome. But it’s effectively freelancing with bigger budgets and pushier customers. I worked in and ran my own dev shop. I tend to look for product companies where you have some control over your own destiny. Rather than being sweat for hire... Great content as always! Keep it up!
Freelancing without having to negotiate and contract with the customer, and the customer is paying much more than what you are getting paid so much more is expected of you than what you are receiving. That's the trade off for not having to market and find your own customers.
I work as a contractor developer and I can attest that being a contract developer suck. You'll - 1 - Get less paid (I get about 30% of what they pay to the actual developer) 2 - You don't get treated as the main developer as a contract developer. 3 - If they're firing, you'll be the first one to let go. 4 - There are no benefits with regard to insurance as for direct employee jobs. 5 - Even your work is great, It totally depends on your company to take you or not. [Mostly not] I'm looking for a change. #ScrewCovid.
Batman Smashes I don't understand # 5. What do you mean by your company take you or not. Do you mean going from contract to full time employee? Or something else?
@@gejer123 Well that's about 320k a year if you can get contracts consistently so yes absolutely, most full-time positions max out at a base salary of about 130-150k (+ bonus, equity)
I do think that having a fixed formal job would be much better and after you have been in the industry for a while then you can be like creating stuff for freelancing.
I'd like to correct you on contract jobs. Some of the most successful people in Software are contractors. These people sometimes know every bit about a companies internal workings and infustructure, and can almost "hold a company hostage." Depends on how you are as a person, but sometimes there's a "name your price" aspect with contraction.
Have to disagree on no. 2 - certainly in the UK there are very, very few full time employee jobs in the UK that pay anything close to contract rates when all tax implications are factored in. Take home pay is typically 50% > 100% more on contracts.
Funny you mentioned some of these. My wife heard some and laughed because she’s seen me do these. Like I own a gaming company starting up and got a verry diverse team with a wide range of views and creative solutions. But most my team now was first a paid consultant or worked on commission based.
Alot of these need loads of experience. Like bug bounties are great but the chance of a beginner in the cyber security industry actually completing a bug bounty let alone make a living out of it is slim to none.
Fun fact: when i started coding i used to do the mistake of using single equal instead of double equal in code. Now i do the mistake of using double equal instead of single equal in math.
Ya, but that means its an if. I mean: if(code == money) { Console.WriteLine("Wtf, that's wrong lol") } Actually I need help, i don't know why i'm on this comment.
I've seen so many videos and articles listing the same things over and over. I was going to say: "he only missed Upwork..." but it was the number 24. So it's exactly the same as the other videos, blog posts, and Medium articles I've seen before.
If i would see this video before i get coding skills, i would say, that coding - sucks. "You can teach, you can have a blog/youtube/medium, you can write a book" WOW! Unic features for coders! ... and then - find a bugs for money, make extensions for WordPress, sell Bootstrap templates... All this is kind a hunting for opportunity with NO warranty of success. Like "If you have money you can buy things and sell it for bigger price. Ok, cool." This list could be so mutch shorter: - You can make things for money (Job, freelance projects) - You can invest time in your project. Main feature of coding - is that you can make almost anything by your self, and anything you need - is your skills, time, and computer.
Lena yep, but he said in the video contractors get paid less. I’ve hired contractors on £1150 - £1250 a day! Work for 6 months of year party for the rest 😛
7:08 Please, for the love of God DON'T. Im not a Roblox player myself but please, don't waste your time and others' money. There are too many p2w games on Roblox so theres a very low chance yours will catch other people's attention and while you're right, some people are crazy enough to buy useless virtual stuff, Roblox takes an INSANE cut. I know all this from a friend who tried this out, its not worth the time and effort, but who am i to tell you what to do afterall ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I stopped programming many years ago as a computer scientist(approximately 10 years ago). I want to come back to it. Where would I start from in order to catch up with the current trending?
Hey hey, been watching your videos that explain stuff and, I'm a 12th grader this year searching for a job that interests me and... I came to the conclusion to either become a software engineer or a software developer, I weighed more on reason and interest to software developer but which would you recommend? It's a bit confusing watching alot of videos and research about their differences and I heard that software developers get to immerse themselves more but Is that really true? Sorry it's not pertaining to your video but I plan to watch more videos to get information but I need to truly narrow it down to the best choice. Plz help :)
Well decided to go nr. 26. Having 1 Open Source Project with Managed Cloud Hosting Service, 1 paid Windows Product, and 1 Paid Webservice :) Well, guess this is what I like at most.
Has anybody found good ways to earn some extra income from coding in the off time from your non-coding day job? I'm in my mid-40s and have been studying computer science for a few years now. I've also been at my current employer for 20 years in various positions that are not related to anything computer science. I've been hoping that eventually I can move into a more relevant position at the same company, but if that fails to pan out, then I'd consider using some of my evenings and weekends to do coding or something on the side. Some of the things mentioned in this video could possibly work in that scenario, but I was curious if anyone is actually doing what I described. :)
If you record some tutorials on coding interviews = how to prepare, what are the topics, some questions and solutions will enhance the channel's view count and popularity.. I just sense your recent topics are not much interesting.. It is up to you.
It really depends. If you're building an app, you can have your time and learn when you're a beginner. But if you wanna work in a company, you must be very competent. In general I think 1-2 yrs of experience would be enough for starting to make money.
I mada a script to auto insert info into my school database. The UI for the school app was shit so I made lots of money just charging ~ 1USD to insert mostly repetitive info the school needs you to report. Easiest money I made. Just find an opportunity to do something with high demand do it.
@@Aksoma You run into situations where you're not a high priority for the company. This sometimes leads to having to sue to get paid and or even being ghosted in the middle of a project. Also you dont get benifits so contact work is just objectively worse than full time employment
