Average Python Developer Salary By State

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

@papa surf is my guy, but I won't lie, I almost fell out when bruh said "y'all talking about snake breeders? "

As someone who schedules interviews for software engineers at a big tech company, trust me that all the hard work is worth it if you’re considering making a career change

Only thing is that there is no formal certification for Python, so you have nothing to validate your skills besides experience.

Bored...lol

class User {

    std::string _name;
    int _rep;

public :

    User( const std::string& name, int rep ): _name(name), _rep(rep) {}

    int add_to_rep(int value) {
        _rep += value;
        return _rep;
    }
};

int main() {

    auto noob = User("Magic", 1000);
    auto new_rep = noob.add_to_rep(-10);

    std::cout << "Negged!\n" << new_rep;

    return 0;
}

This gives me nightmares even though it's basic code

Better?

int main() {

    auto message = { "Drake", "is", "overrated" } ;   

    for (auto word : message ) {
        std::cout << word << '\n';
    }

    return 0;
}

There's so much more to it than learning to code in Python, actually picking up the syntax is probably the easiest part
You have to know frontend frameworks or libraries like react.js and before that html, css, and javascript.
Gotta be really good with those technologies before moving on
Then you have to know one of the many databases out there like noSQL oe SQL
You have to know API's and how to consume them using backend development with Python

I don't like these kind of sensational reports, as it gives false hope to newbies, who look at the salary and think it's a cakewalk
don't get me wrong, anyone can do this but it's gonna take you a time provided you code every single day and challenge yourself

Man, if you don't down somewhere and stop trying to take away brehs hope

If these brothas want to make a change in their lives and move on to opportunities in this field, that's their right, and you shouldn't be trying to discourage it.

Obviously somebody ain't about to study for 2 months and get $150k salaries. But if somebody gets in this and applies themselves, there is money to be made.

I'm all for more of us getting into this field. We need more of us in here getting this paper.

When I was in DC I was fukking some lead female Python developer in the nation. She never wanted to talk about work and had me clearly in the "fukk" bag. She moved to Germany is balling out of control. Terrible personality but that vagina was stellar.

she probably gets a lot of shyt for being a woman in the tech field.

especially if she's a lead python developer.

these are snake breeders?

Sometimes this place is worth all the toxicity because of posts like this.

Only thing is that there is no formal certification for Python, so you have nothing to validate your skills besides experience.

Is there formal certification for any programming languages?

I mean obviously you can get a cert from a bootcamp but I know a lot of dudes who went the self taught route.

You just gotta constantly build things. Thats what really shows your skill, a good github portfolio.

I’m 40 years Old about how long would it take me

Python is one of the easier programming languages to learn. I'd even say it reads easier than the other thing most suggested to beginners - javascript (functional). Javascript can get pretty complex (javascript just wasn't created to do the things it's doing but it's evolving). Python is great out the box.

Add a framework like Django and you can get something off the ground pretty quickly. I would suggest learning Python before Django....but building something with Django first might help you catch that bug to learn more and push yourself.

Microsoft and Oracle offer some, I believe. Google has a course that comes with a certification that will teach you R which is usually used in tandem with Python when it comes to data analytics an data science. But the Google certifications aren't really recognized by the industry as something valuable yet. If I came across one on a resume for User Experience (Google has a cert for that too) it wouldn't give the candidate any leg up.

What the Google cert is good for is starting to build a foundation to be able to build things and demonstrate your work through a portfolio.

This is what I was saying. You can get them, but they aren't really recognized, as far as I know. Sounds like we agree that a strong portfolio is the way.

Make your own experience. Create projects for yourself that you can attach to your resume and break down how you got your findings. Do something that you’re interested in like sports or a hypothetical business question. There’s always ways to show your knowledge if you put your mind to it, you gotta stand out somehow.

Google also has certifications in coding on Coursera. Unsure if python is included but it’s a place to check out

Also anytime salary by state is discussed, you should keep this in mind:
