I know but your links were broken
Edit:
Reading that blog post your specific python certs are the more advanced ones.

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.

I've been a dev for a bit over 2 yrs and have had liitle to no use for math in my day-to-day

For me developing logic just happened as i worked through projects/solved coding problems

They only offered two certs. One was entry level and the other was for professional.

I didn’t post it to one up you. Links were broken and the blog goes in depth. Apparently PCEP is more entry level than the PCAP.

In the market I am in (Ontario, Canada) I see the salaries range from $80,000 to $100,000 Canadian, which is about $65,000 to $90,000 ish U.S. I think. Rarely see new roles above six figures from the start but I'm sure some are at that in their current companies. Junior level, so say 1-3 years, usually $70,000 - $75,000 Canadian. New grads aren't gonna get more than $50K and frankly are better off taking a contract role and getting the experience.

UI/Front End, Full Stack, hell even .Net, different story. Much higher.

If i learn python or another language is there part time work i can do at night? Just not a full day 9-5 type gig?

I didn't think you were trying to one up me. I acknowledged the links were broken and was just trying to explain what I posted since they didn't work. It's nothing serious.

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.

everything he said is correct and real important information for anyone interested in development, none of it is discouraging; if someone sees this infograph and thinks that the only requirement is a high level understanding of python then theyre going to end up disappointed and confused when theyre not employed at the level theyd like to be

data structures, algorithms, libraries, databases, frameworks and architecture, these are some of the skills and understandings that make these developers and engineers so valuable; understanding these at a high level is much more important than syntactical python knowledge

its essential that someone looking to break into this industry understands that first and foremost so theyre not wasting their time studying the wrong thing

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.

I know several ppl that taught themselves and got hired.

You didn't get hired cause you're just not a good programmer. It's ok, champ

This is not true. While there are "specialty" areas of programming that may require math knowledge, MOST areas of programming do not.

I'm starting to think that some of y'all are giving out misinformation on purpose because you don't want other people to enter this field.

Closest thing is freelancing breh

quite the opposite breh, I see a lot of people go in with unrealistic expectations (because they read an article or saw the salary) and then get discouraged few days in to their studies.

this can be done by anyone in my opinion but you have to enter with 'I can do it' mindset, that is accepting there's a learning curve in the beginning.

to major advises I can give to newbies

1) You will never get to a point where you 'know it all', so don't be too hard on urself and imposter syndrome is normal
2) Google everything, it's more important knowing how to find solutions than memorizing. Stackoverflow or even youtube are ideal places. Google has never failed me, googling for solutions saves me a ton of time everyday.
