I'm self taught, spent 4 months entirely on my own going through freeCodeCamp and The Odin Project. My tip - only do it if you enjoy it, there's plenty other professions out there with a better ROI on time invested.
- chiyc 4y agoWhat other professions do you have in mind with better ROI?
- meowtastic 4y agoSales.
- schwartzworld 4y agoLol, what job can you teach yourself and make 200k a year?
- codegeek 4y agoYou will be surprised. Lot of small business owners doing service based work make over 200K. Not all require professional certifications. And yes, not all developers make 200k easily.
- meowtastic 4y agoI live in the UK, don't make nowhere near 200k nor do I know anyone who makes that amount (across all levels).
- schwartzworld 4y agoYes, the European market is quite different from the American one, and even in the US it can vary a lot depending on region, industry, the size of the company, etc.
- sidibe 4y agoThere really is no better profession in terms of ROI. No matter your background If you spend a year doing codeforces/leetcode you can get a job that pays $200k. Of course you also have to have some talent at that kind of thing but in almost every other field you'd need years of training and degrees to get salary
- meowtastic 4y agoDo the majority of self-taught devs in the US get that kind of money within 1 year? I honestly find it hard to believe.
