This Is How Much Engineers Make at Airbnb, Uber and Snapchat

fukk man, I'm pushing 30, a nikka don't have 5 years to spare

You don't need five years breh, you only need one. The highest paying positions are taken up by the 5-year+ programming kiddies, but you can consistently work on your skills for a few months on a couple of languages, and start applying. Internships give experience, many are paid, and they'll lead you right to the promised land of a job. Many also have on-board training to bring you up to speed some.

I can focus on starting my shyt *after* cashing out, not before. The biggest resources are connections, and you don't get that out on the street.

Startup money>>>>>>>>>>

I've been interested in getting into coding but have never gave myself the time to start. Any recommendations for good coding boot camps for someone without any coding knowledge or experience? Also are there any coding groups here?

Only do this shyt if you genuinely are interested. Doing it for the money won't get you anywhere because you have to put so much time into keeping your skills up and that's after the YEARS it takes to be good. Like someone said you learn on the job for the most part.
I've been doing this for a decade now and I have a CHECKLIST of books I want to read and courses I want to take soon (trying to decide if I want to learn scala or kotlin for functional programming). You have to continually teach yourself in this industry. It's Sunday I'm off but I'm going to spend at least half of today reviewing some stuff in my jobs code base for a video chat I have with my company's innovation lab 2 weeks from now. Basically you have to be on your shyt and really enjoy the job to have any kind of success

Thank you. This shyt ain't a free-for-all. You don't take a coding bootcamp, get a cushy job doing "hello world" shyt and live happily ever after.

Yeah getting those intermediate certs is where its at

But im actually quitting my job tomorrow. I literally just worked 2 weeks straight and fukked some shyt up by falling asleep for an hour. I was working non stop, 12 hour days in front of computers, and now they want me to commute there 5 days a week as well which is over an hour both ways.

I basically said fukk it. Im at the hostpital now because I had a huge fukking panic attack at work. shyt was overwelming

So you're a coder now at your current job?

Yes, this isn't a profession you get in to if you don't like it. I love what I do but even sometimes I'm at the amount I have to read and do in my off hours in order to stay up-to-date / relevant. & that's not even including the stress you sometimes get from deadlines and such. If you suck or don't care, this is not an industry you will stay long in.

There's a developer's thread in Higher Learning subforum. Really good advice and smart people in there. We are actually trying to start a project where anybody can contribute right now.

@kevm3

Aren't you like 29 or something? Tell this guy that it's perfectly normal to switch careers and become a dev at that age.

young dude that used to work for me went to a 3 month boot camp and got a contract to hire job making 58 an hour a few weeks after the boot camp. they're gonna give him 120k salary in like 3 months.

@GollyImGully you on that i.t sh*t right?

I try to tell everybody, it's not as difficult as people might think it is to get in the field and a lot of what you learn is from experience on the job, there are a few brothers here on the coli who just got into software development over the last year that can attest to the fact that you don't have to be some super genius to do the job.

Cot dayum I need to do the boot camp. Should I stop out of community college?

Hell no. fukk student loan debt. Right now been slowly doing prereqs as I work retail part time. The things that truly interest isn't easy to make money from which is art and music. I haven't really developed the skills in them to even try. I would like a good paying day job. Math can be a bytch but I can learn it but English papers fml lol. I can barely write a 3 page paper, I can't imagine some bullshyt 10 page paper for a university
