Here's a tip to make more money as a dev: Target small companies. Seems counter-intuitive, but many small companies are willing to pay a couple of devs (even sometimes a single dev) much higher salaries to keep them happy (and around) vs. hiring a more "normal"-sized dev team at more normal (lower) salaries. $200K dev salaries are not uncommon, and not strictly FAANG.

[@AL-go2mv]

Absolutely. This is especially a good path if you are straight out of bootcamp or a lesser known college or self taught. I have moved to progressively smaller companies making a significant amount more each time. Eventually I could move to a larger company.

[@officialsterlingarcher]

100% I used to work in FAANG and made 180k there after three years of working. Left my job for a medium sized company and am now making 260k a year. Definitely not as large as some other people but I still have room to grow.

I was thinking of finishing a certificate for programming that teaches me advanced and beginner python and c Sharp I believe. Would you recommend that instead of a 4 year bachelor's honestly? I'm 30 years old by the way. Hope to hear from you. Thanks

[@AL-go2mv]

Pick a language to be proficient at. I would guide this by what is most in demand. I am proficient in Java and work with most Java related technologies. Also familiar with a bunch of other tech. Important technologies to know or be familiar with outside of a programming language are containerization (Kubernetes/Docker), CI/CD, event/message streaming/queues like kafka or rabbit mq, and cloud computing (aws, azure, google cloud). For both frontend and backend langauges it is always good to know a framework like react, vue or angular, spring or some other framework for your specific language. At some point pick another language to be pretty good at. Its a good idea for this language to cover many of the weaknesses of your primary language and be applicable to another problem domain. This makes you more marketable because you can potentially solve a wider variety of problems.

[@AL-go2mv]

@@PokemonRocketPulls Hey! Yea a certificate is a great way to start. You may need to demonstrate your knowledge a bit more by building some projects but you will learn a lot in the process and show you are serious about getting into the industry. I would make sure the certificate is from a credible provider before investing in it. Other than those minor things it is a great way to start!

In the U.S their are many useless degrees, many university grads who are making minimum wage with high debt. School is a investment if their is no way to make a return on your investment then the course you are taking in school is a paperweight, this is what the school system does not tell the youth in the U.S. P.S a Union Electrician in the U.S makes over 100,000k per year.

Most jobs are taking away to Eastern Europe, where people earn $5/hour. Plus, the taxes in every Western country are in reality 50% and more.

Disagree with Anthony at 05:54 It's not for everyone. Some people try it and don't like it. Some people try hard and don't get that far. While self taught is possible, it also has the biggest failure rate. Most people will struggle unless they have above average motivation and organisation. While *some* roles in tech don't need a CS or EEE degree, *some* absolutely do. You aren't learning to write lightweight cryptography for IoT Devices in a bootcamp. I am not being gatekeepy, I am just pointing out people on both extremes (you need to be a genius and do CS degree vs anyone can do this) exaggerate. The truth, as is often the case, is somewhere in the middle.
