what will increase your odds of success is to work smarter and have better hourly output than your competition (whatever is appropriate measure of 'better' in your case). Working long hours should be your last resort not your first how to s

47 here , getting paid to develop since I was 16 and still it is fun and games. I really don't understand burnout concept and self imposed stress some people have. Must be just my luck. Planning to do this as long as I can type :-)

If you are consultant it is implied that you are at least proficient in technology/tools you are using and learning on the job in that case is quite frankly immoral. Especially if you are not uprfront with your client about your suitability

I will agree with supersaiyan , you are doing something wrong. I live in same area and except junior developers I don't know anybody making 50k/year as developer. Change job.

AFAIK you can't work for US employer or perform services for US employer. Not sure that this covers outside of country services/work. This is meant to protect US jobs which you didn't take and that is a bottom line.

I am Canadian citizen and for two years I was traveling every second week to US on TN visa. In all that time I got 1 "bad" experience from US side and 2 from Canadian side. (it wasn't that bad just longer questioning with 'trick' questions)

Remember first you have to earn 10B and then spend. If you just paid taxes on 10B you will still have a lot of net gain couple of B at least. I guess haters will hate regardless.

why antagonism to architects ? It is only developer which actually will think about implications of what is doing from more than one point. It would be nice if I see more developers doing that instead just coding big pile of ..(you got a pi

Just as a pointer I would recommend to get up to date with latest JEE specs and standards before making judgement What I see is most people base their opinion on EJB2 from past and they keep ranting about that. Also java ecosystem doesn't s

whenever prospective employer has this type of CS trivia questions I lose interest to work in that environment regardless if I know or don't know answers. It shows lack of maturity and experience to understand what are actually characterist

shorter release cycle doesn't have to be hectic; what makes it hectic is unreasonable number of features which is poor planing. You will end up coding 24/7 in cycle of any length if workload to deliver all in given time frame is greater tha
