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

I've been putting hours into this Python on my own. A boot camp would be perfect, but don't have the ability to dedicate 40+ hours to it

Austin Coding Academy is starting up in Houston though and it's only a couple days a week.

Start my masters next year in Statistics and hopefully after I'm done with that will be eating GOOD off of a Data Science roll. Halliburton paying nikkas 150K annually before bonuses for that title here in Houston.



150K in Houston

There's a program in my city that I was going to go to but, I decided to come back to school and finish my degree (i only had a few college credits left to complete). The bootcamp program is only $1,000 to $2,000 and you work the other $10,000 off once they pair you with one of their companies (if you get no job, fee is waived) for 6 months. or if you got the bread, $12,000 up front.

It's for Java though. Not Python, which what I've been learning. But I made it to the 2nd round before things worked out with my college, so i chose that. After graduation in the spring, i'mma reapply for the fall 2017 bootcamp, do that for the fall and hopefully have a guaranteed job making 60k minimum. I killed the interview last time, so imma learn Java already before reapplying this time. You just gotta work at one of the companies (JP Morgan was one, Astrazeneca was another one) for 6 months afterward and you either stay on indefinitely or leave for better options.

Search around your area, there has to be something similar.

Next fall I'll be done with my CS degree

Godspeed breh

The more you learn, the easier it becomes. I've heard the jump from Ruby into Java or vice-versa is smooth as hell.

Yeah it's just syntax. Object oriented is object oriented.

Rather go into security

Codings cool if you like a lot of small "Aha" moments while working.

Ruby and Java are kind of totally different though. It'd be easier to jump from Java to Ruby than the other way around

I think people are overstating the possibility of jobs being outsourced. Initially, that was the first thing I thought about when I first started learning to program, so I researched the subject extensively and apparently, people are split on the issue. Yes, overseas developers are cheap and for companies trying to save a buck, that's where they're going to go. But there are also companies that think a large percentage of coders in India or China are shyt (not my words, words of other developers), write bad code, code that often has to be rewritten anyway, projects that take longer than what was agreed upon, overseas contractors who are more difficult to quickly get in touch with than someone on-site in the same city and country as you. Then there's the language barrier. Again. I'm not a developer but, from what I've researched, this is the complaints people who are in the industry have said verbatim. I doubt we'll have to worry about outsourcing any time soon.

This is true. While Coders in India are cheaper, they tend to write shytty code and we have to go back and redo it. So the money you initial saved , you end up paying double. Plus with companies taking security more seriously, that will help slow outsourcing.

That's what I read verbatim.

 

[L&HH]

Help me breh cuz I'm salty. I know java, javascript, html, css, do mobile and web and have been an internship for a year and I still can't find shyt. I'm learning graphic design because I feel like I don't know enough.

Anyway I was just saying everyone shouldn't expect that kind of fortune from a few months.

If you're living in an area where 1k a month will get you a penthouse suite then there likely isn't much of a market for your skills or any skills in general. You might have to move to an area that does have that. Or look for a job in an area and apply and see if they'll pay for you to move.

This is pretty much the case Well not really a penthouse suite, but definitely a really nice apartment in a really nice area with multiple bedrooms

yep there is a lot more to software development that coding. Offshore devs also quicker to get let go since they have no interpersonal connections with those that are in the office. They tend to just be "Code monkeys" and don't see or care about the big picture of a project/product.

Chemical engineers in the state of Texas have a median salary of $140,000.

But they have to live in Texas

You IT nikkas always make me regret choosing law

I got tons of respect for high level coders. I originally went to college for that but when I saw everyone in that major were basically slaves to their computer day and night and throughout the weekend I knew that shyt wasn't for me. Still had to take some entry level Java and C++ coding for my new major and that shyt enraged me. Being up all night trying to fix an error caused by a random misplaced bracket is not the business. Only blessing is that the professor had it set up where you could see what your grade would be depending on how you did on your final project. I saw that if I got a zero on the final project I would get a C and if I got a 100 I would get a B. I basically submitted a blank file with my name on it and went out drinking with friends.

As someone who works for a top tier company, even my guys aren't at the level of some of the ones in the valley. Wait, naw, some of them are but for real, the skills you got to have at this level is borderline elite or elite. You need years and practice with love and want to do this.
