Hello World!
In today's video I want to share with you my story on why and how I decided to quit my 9 to 5 job as a Sr. Software Engineer and become a freelancer.
I hope that my story can inspire you and show you that it is possible to break out from the rat race and still be a programmer.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel and have a chance of getting the Clean Code book sent to your doorstep.
Enjoy the video and don't hesitate in contacting me with questions and/or suggestions.
Stay awesome, Phil from Brazil.

Salve xará! You should make some videos or a course about how to be successful as a Java freelancer. A roadmap kind of stuff. And also how to go from 30€/h to 85€/h, for example. I’m really happy for you man, it’s awesome to see a Brazilian being successful around the world. God bless you, noixxx

@learn_with_phil 11 месяцев назад

Opaaaaa! Valeu pelo comentario Fernando! I like the idea, think might be helpful for a lot of people. Make a roadmap on how to go Freelancing/Contracting. Abraco.

what made you change your mind on the Porsche? have you completely discarded it as a goal or were the house/traveling just bigger priorities cus i think you'd look fire in a porsche bro!!!

@learn_with_phil Год назад

Couple of things: 1 - parking is a big problem in amsterdam 2 - people in the Netherlands don't care if you have a porsche or not 3 - owning a car is a liability and I realised I wanted assets that generate cash flow But I would definitely would have some fun with that Porsche 😁

Im a frontend incorporated dev and switching back to java. What java knowledge is needed for an incorporated role? Ps: I did not received the Clean Code book 😢

@learn_with_phil Год назад

Hi there! That's awesome, there's a lot of contracts for you to work if you're good with the Java stack. Specially in the enterprise world of banking and large scale applications. You can check this video on the Java skills required to be a Sr Java Dev: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2mfDcB87Mo4.html&t About the book. I will send one copy to one of my subscribers as soon as I hit 1000 subscribers here on RU-vid! I will make a video on how I select that person and post it here.

I'm surprised you are Brazilian because I watched first time your another video about a wireless mic I thought you were Russian native speaker (like me) :D

@learn_with_phil 9 месяцев назад

That's great! I am actually both. I was born in Russian and moved to Brazil when I was 5 years old.

Rapaz, que legal, esses dias a ASML me chamou para um entrevista, mas saí fora. .Fiquei escaldado, era para trabalhar com o Java tbm. Fiquei na dúvida em ir quando comparei os impostos, beneficios e o quanto ia me sobrar por mês e então desisti, não coloquei a experiênciua na balança...

@learn_with_phil Год назад

Eh uma das melhores empresas para se trabalhar aqui na Holanda. Pode se comparar com ser concursado da Petrobras. Um montao de dias ferias, 14 salarios, nao ha concorrencia e o trabalhao eh super interessante. Voce literalemente estaria contribuindo para a construcao e funcionamento do mecanismo mais complicado que existe no mundo, q maquina litografica.

Is it possible to work with this contracts living in Brazil, or just in Europe?

@learn_with_phil Год назад

It is possible, but not likely. The thing is that corporations prefer to have agreements with other corporations (your company) from the same country or at least in the same region. Plus there are the timezone issues for someone living in Brazil and working for a company in Europe.

@iwn77620 Год назад

Inspiring. Let me ask you, did you find any part time positions with such rate per hour?

@learn_with_phil Год назад

hi there! usually the minimum is 32 hours/week for those rates. the contracting market is usually for people that we call "firegighter ninjas". someone that can jump into a project and rescue the team in a tight deadline or similar critical situation.

@iwn77620 Год назад

@@learn_with_phil I see, you mean "IT consultants", which is indeed a really high rate job. Have you worked as such?

@learn_with_phil Год назад

hi there and its awesome that you're learning Java you can't master java in a few weeks or even months I have been learning Java for over 10 years and I still don't know it all you can become efficient in Java in 6 months if you study daily and write code on it though

@9to5isOptional Год назад

But what about ai tool like ChatGPT which write code in a click??

@learn_with_phil Год назад

It is just an assistant. It can not produce code for an enterprise system. ChatbotGPT is not intelligent enough to understand requirements of complex systems. It would require chatbotGPT to be able to listen, talk back and attend several meetings with business people that are in contact with the customers of the application. Maybe in 10 years.
