Your second point contradicts your first. You don’t need credentials to do it but you need to know a lot. People with good word of mouth reputations have much better job security (perhaps spanning multiple firms) than most other fields.
The key question is “Do you like the work?”
- drvdevd 8y agoI think there’s also the mistake of assuming having “programming credentials” means you are prepared for every “programming” job. Whereas, in reality, each job is it’s own microcosm of domain knowledge (even if you’re using the same languages/frameworks between jobs!) So you have the opportunity to ask “Do you like the work?” under many different circumstances.
