About the college part I was wondering if I made a bad move or not because I applied for 2 years of learning web development but its basically free because of fafsa and grants but at the same time now watching this video I'm realizing I could learn everything myself
I watch this guy many videos
He always waste time
Man just talk about topic
Aye Chris! Real quick: happy to see you leveling up the editing of your videos there - much more entertaining! Yet I do think you can tell your video editor to calm down with all that zoom-in action a bit π
Some language specialties and/or frameworks pay more outright as well. Supply and demand.
do i need leetcode as a frontend guy
Shoutout to the homie Chris Sean! But I'm working with PHP and jQuery and had been looking at companies that pay over $100K a year with PHP/Laravel. Not here to against anybody on here but yeah! πͺπ―
If you want big pay raises you have to job hop every year or 2. Companies hiring budgets are way bigger then their pay raise Budget
Of what I see on job market in UK (Outside of London).
Senior Frontend Web Dev will be lucky if gets Β£60.000 a year. Not impossible, and happens often, but it depends where you are.
Junior Front-end? It may be as low as Β£20.000 a year which is pretty much national minimum wage (that's all before tax) or it may be Β£35.000, but areas in mid Β£20k are most common for Juniors and yet sometimes they still require you to have 2 years of commercial experience. So nothing exciting. It just proves that Tech jobs market (at least the easier jobs) is getting full.
There are a lot of bad assumptions here. I think this would be much more applicable before entering what is an impending recession. Companies are on hiring freezes and even experienced developers are being ousted. In a seemingly remote world, the bar to getting in is even greater than before because itβs really hard to mentor people remotely. So all this talk about maximizing salaries is likely coming to an end for at least a couple of years. The people that worry the least have a combination of things: interview preparedness which means technically a strong grasp of one language and an ability to solve problems live and connections. Yes, connections matter a lot. But an emphasis on commanding oneβs language β a lot of people here, especially on Chrisβ YT are doing front end web and all think that they know React, but you need to ask yourself how well you know vanilla JS β understanding what async programming is, scoping, closures, promises vs async/await. Very few people understand these things and very few are able to understand the documentation. Without an ability to read and interpret docs, itβs very hard for one to debug a problemβ¦
As a Laravel, Vue, & TS dev I make 140k with the potential to make 210k. Not sure why people think that there is no money in the LAMP stack.
Hey, need the next video like right now.
Surely you are not suggesting that in most parts of the country (USA, in your case) USD75K+ is not a good salary, you must have spent too much time watching FAANG-centric videos. If you want to earn six-figures within a few years, become a consultant or subcontractor on projects. Even as a salaried "software developer," I am using the term very broadly in this context, a reasonably competent non-"rockstar, pain-in-the-azz" software developer can earn a six-figure salary within five years. The truth is in some states USD75K is net more take-home pay than USD200K in higher cost-of-living states.
If there is a real shortage of software developers why do companies insist on keeping the multi-month, multi-round interview process, most of which is pointless genitalia wack-a-smack on the table by "senior devs (Beavis and Butthead) from the company?"
University for development job is not a good idea. You might get the paper but you will not get the skills. Everything I do at work is shit I taught myself. Donβt stay at a job for too long, salary goes up every switch. Learn a frontend framework like React or Angular. Learning a new trending language will get you paid big time cuz thereβs not enough devs so they are will to look over experience, educationβ¦plus pay more out of desperation. A few years ago companies were willing to take anyone that even heard of React or Angular now market has stabilized and they want you to be an expert to hire. Last thing, always keep learning or get left behind very quickly.
Please do a video on "job requirements" , we all were told Html css js & one framework is more than enough for frontend & just html css js & one backend is all good for full stack , but NO job on the whole internet accepts someone who only knows these 3-4 . it's completely different than what youtubers preach.
Going to college should be irrelevant because everyone knows college irrelevant curriculum only about one third of the classes are IT related.
I'm 20 , and i did a lot of coke.
One truth is, no one will get to a 6 figures salary in tech that easily, even close to that, outside of the united states. I'm from France, and the guys that make it most likely are CEO's
Thanks teacher
Hey Chris , long time follower here , I have been noticing your video editing skills are getting good , Keep it up man !!
