Wagecuck here. Made about $150k last year. Abused credit card signup bonuses to buy rig equipment from China at a discount, kept some of it for myself, sold the rest at a profit to people who think it's worth something, easily broke even.

You're right. I like the balance. In the office, it's easy to get interrupted constantly and not get shit done. It's just about inevitable. Taking a couple days a week to avoid a nearly 2 hour round trip commute and actually be productive is nice. The downside is less visibility.

First thing you need to know is that, by nature, it's a completely self starter position. I recently had a systems analyst that "wanted to get into coding". He wanted to jump right in.

Fortunately my company offered him a multi-week program that was kind of a Java deep swim. It at least taught him enough to be able to communicate basic things with me without sounding like an idiot. I'm still mentoring him but he's taking the effort to do as much as he can without asking me, which is amazing. That's the kind of dev I want. You are constantly learning something new, almost every day. If you're not into that, it's not for you.

Before I found out about my company's offering, I saw a few resources online. Coursera has a course to get into development. I never took a close look at it, but I looked at the syllabus and it seemed pretty solid. It didn't just get into the geeky stuff but explained a lot of concepts as to why and other intuition. Look into it.

After that, find some entry level work to do, or just find a simple idea you like and make it happen. Practice makes perfect. I'm sure you can find someone who would take you in at entry level, eventually. You probably won't make as much(depending on where you're managing), but that's the leap you'll have to take.

Good luck, anon.

He wants to switch careers, and even though his pay isn't that great, taking an entry level job in a switch simply isn't affordable.

Go to their site and sign up. If you've been paying attention to the stock market in the last couple days, you'll see that they are not doing so well.

The main reason is because wealth is being shifted from stocks to bonds. Wealthfront covers both, so get in there and sit on it. Don't expect immediate returns. They've done very well for me over the years. Then again, you shouldn't get your advice from anyone on /biz/. This is just my personal opinion, and I have nothing to gain or lose either way.

I have worked before and had to take a long time off because of medical reasons that made me unable to even drive. I'm better now and more than willing to put my all even into an entry level job. It's hard to convey that on a resume though. I probably won't get a lot of callbacks but it wont stop me from trying.

Yea that's what I want, anything and everything I can get that's entry level and related to computers. I'll look into all of the stuff that you're talking about. Thank you for being helpful anon!

all of it
if I get showed code then Im able to remember it fine and know what most of the lines do individually and even how the different lines of code interact with each other but if I get told "make a program that does x" I will have no fucking clue how to do it even if I know all the individual code that goes in to it

I guess that explanation makes it sound weird but yeah, I guess im like anti-autistic at it which fucking sucks

i hate my office job and sort of wish i had some of the tens of thousands i've sunk into crypto but at the end of the day having $2k show up magically in my bank account every two weeks is a fucking blessing.

I work remotely and am trying to get the courage together to move somewhere interesting since i can live anywhere with wifi.

Anon, you know you can just lie on your Resume f it, ask for favors from other for referances. Most companies do not even check. Take the Risk. You can even trow in fancy words in their "Block Chain Technology Data Researcher." That's how people gave me a shot and then after I proved myself I rode that latter up like a Asian Whore in a 3rd world country.

I was just asking because these $5000 came from nowhere, since I don't remember my grandmother at all. I am just your average Joe coding for living since 2009, now earning $67k per year.
I could just spend this money on buying a new PC, clothes, a big ass TV, however I stopped playing videogames, caring about fashion and caring if a TV supports 4k or not.
