it is very difficult to live in London with this money for junior roles.

@robbiedeegan3121 14 дней назад

Enjoyed the transparency! As a data scientist in London I can say it's quite similar advice! Salary depends mostly on industry

Great video that more or less matches my experience with the UK job market. Really agree that there's always going to be a lot of variability in the job market, particularly as you go from midlevel-senior. I'm on £45000 as a "midlevel" full-stack C#+React developer - not the best salary in the world but does allow occasional abroad working and a good work life balance working in a small friendly team. Like you I self-taught myself about 30 (4-5 years ago); one of the blunders I made was probably not specialising in what I wanted to do off the bat and moving about a lot between industries. I think if I stuck with React or C# for 1/2 companies I'd be in a better position. Great video again!

45k for a mid level is fairly decent. You may have been better of just sticking with one thing from the start but then again it’s good to try your hand at different languages to learn what you like. Salaries are definitely higher in finance / gambling industries but you do have to sell you soul. Thanks for watching and best wishes 🙏

Hello, I'm also self-taught software engineer, moving to london next month inshaa allah. for doing MSc in Computer Science at Hertfordshire. Where should i stay? i'll look for Part-time SE job. Thank you

Hey, honestly i’m not sure. You might be better living a bit further out and getting a hybrid job so you only have to be in office a few days a week. You’ll save money that way but depends what you’re looking for. Hope it works out insha’Allah

jarring to see this as I was working in a non faang company as a new grad with 180k annual income, and the interview process was frankly very easy. unfortunately I didn't crack the harder interviews like HRT which could tripple the salary

@zuowang5185 7 месяцев назад

interview consists a couple rounds of leetcode easy-medium questions, and a round of behavior + talk about a project from school

This is pretry accurate IMO. Most job postings ive see online for senior level is around 60k-90k. But then on social medoa I keep hearing junior level can get up to 100k, and if you're not then youre not doing it right.

@pattle 3 месяца назад

I doubt anyone is getting 100k as a junior, at least not in the UK. You might get a starting salary of $100k dollars in the us but that only would only be a FAANG type companies

@aturan-fo1qt 2 месяца назад

Thanks. Lots of people think even juniors earn £100K. But yours are real numbers. Before IR35 legislations, that money would be possible for majority of SWE but not anymore. Tax, tax, tax...

@veedjohnson Месяц назад

I don’t think anyone thinks juniors earn £100k

@Omer698 5 месяцев назад

I feel like I missed the boat big time with the tech industry. i'm trying to change career/upskill but like you say, I don't see any avenue into this job as an entry level/junior role. I wanted to specialize in Data engineering because I figured web dev/pure software engineering is over saturated, but even with that I'm not seeing many junior roles

@benlambert8481 4 месяца назад

The big question, do you find the job or does the job find you? aka recruiters vs job sites? I took at job as a tester who has time to learn code, I do also write programs for the company. 14 months later I "know" C++, C# and QML, but I'm not sure where is the best place to look for jobs. I'm also self taught via work and Udemy courses.

@pattle 4 месяца назад

When you're starting your career using a good recruiter can make finding your next job a lot easier. Once you start building your network up often the jobs will find you (from my experience)

im learning python right now at 32 years old im a plasterer by trade but want to get out of construction , it hurts my head on the route i should take . is python a sought after skill , i need some guidance any information is appreciated . like will i have to do an IT help desk job first etc

@pattle Месяц назад

Yeah python is probably one of the best languages to learn at the moment because of it’s had in machine learning / AI. You shouldn’t need to get a help desk job, just apply for junior engineer positions. Hope that helps

@@___m16 You're going to be starting on about £30-£35k in London if you're lucky these days. Find a language which you enjoy and can put a lot of hours in on weeknights/weekends and try and come up with an idea to code around. Tech isnt what it used to be at all, good luck

What is it like working as a software engineer? Is it long hours behind a screen or is it actually enjoyable problem solving? I self taught myself html, python & java over covid. Just interested how much the workload is

@pattle 5 месяцев назад

It really depends on the company you're working for. Generally the more senior your get the more freedom you have. I'd recommend finding a company with an interesting product and apply there. Avoid working for a digital agency as they just give you boring work with tight deadlines.

@TheChrois 4 месяца назад

Job is definitely more enjoyable if you do what you truly like, as you not only do 8-5, but also learn after hours. I love software dev job, but sometimes it's just too much and you can feel the burnout. Especially longer projects can feel very 'burning' of your enjoyment. Burnout is real and most ppl underestimate it by taking good pay for job they are not passionate about.
