Full-Stack LAMP, mainly building heavily-customized WordPress sites. My current project is big enough that we've brought on some front-end help, so I've learned to manage git and am paying attention to developing my "soft" skills such as management. I'm likely doing a basic AWS certification soon, perhaps followed by some more DevOps type stuff or learning more formal UI/UX skills. At that point I'll be far above the average WordPress developer and could hit $100k+ if not next year, then the year after that. Pretty good for someone without a college degree working from home.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoYou are leaving TONS of money on the table by using Upwork. The entire conceit there is that you’re a commodity and you and the other code monkeys should bid for the job, because you’re interchangeable. I know freelance Wordpress devs doing $200k per year, but not on Upwork.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoYes, though I get the feeling the person is trading free time for that cash. That includes avoiding bizdev hustle and doing taxes.
