I’m kinda curious what a developer with a couple years experience and making his own company would be able to demand back in the states.
I think “apprenticeship “ isn’t a thing in tech. Things change quickly and companies don’t want to pay more money for people to develop software. Mostly because developers are viewed as a cost (a well-paid cost) and not money makers.
And then the ageism problem. my biggest concern is what I will do if my business fails. Would companies even bother looking at me? Who knows shrug I’m in my late thirties and I’m pretty sure no one would hire me for developing, though I could probably be hired as a manger or team lead.

I went on the custom mech eng "higher" apprentice course (that had been developed for the local industry) at my local college. 1 day a week plus an extra half day a week for the first year to get my tech drawing O Level (GCSE) of course the Jammy buggers who worked for the civil service at RAE got an extra afternoon to do the home work
