Average Python Developer Salary By State

[Steel]

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.

Nah its better to be realistic about the work and commitment it takes than to give them a false sense of hope

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

As a CS new grad, hook a brotha up

What happened to Ruby on Rails ?

You’re not getting a python developer job though learning at home

I don’t give a fukk how well you know the language and contribute to projects

You are absolutely worthless to these companies and you’d better hope you find a recruiter who is willing to bet on you on some Pursuit of Happiness shyt to even get a chance at a foot in the door


Unless you have a CS degree, are already a developer professionally (meaning you’ve actually worked as a developer), or are in IT.

There’s no way in hell someone would pay you, let alone even call you back for an interview.

How hard was it to learn? I just bought a book from Amazon how to automate the boring stuff..a python book. I’ve never been in tech or anything just wanted to make career switch

I've got a whole python course on my PC I can send you

Sorry no can do boss. I only schedule the interviews, I don’t recruit.

All I can say is make sure your linked in game is strong

Seems like the easiest way to get into the tech industry as a developer is by learning front-end , since that's what most bootcamps teach these days.
Python is probably tougher since its mostly use for data science and artificial intelligence these days.

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

They do have formal certs for Python from Python Institute. Pearson Vue offers them

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.

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 where I'm struggling at, don't even know where to begin. I mean I could probably add a school project once this semester's over, don't know what else I could work on to add.

It's not correct. These #'s are probably inflated by 20-30k. And if someone is starting off as a junior python dev it's going to be lower ~70k.

Why it’s a median. A junior dev would never come in with a median pay

 

[Oldschooler]

I think brehs are underestimating what it takes to be an average developer. Python is just a language and is just scratching the surface. There's demand for good developers and they can ask for very good money. But on the lower end of the spectrum there's not much that will give you a leg up. Not to mention you're competing against foreign nationals who have already an established culture for IT. You also got to have an aptitude for learning and doing projects. The culture is you have to be a nerd and build a portfolio by building cool shyt. After that you have to develop your logic...you need a math background.

This is confirmation for me to learn python and get certified. Any one would like to pass some good information to me please I’m all ears. I need a career change.
