lol. my profits so far average out to 10k+ a month after being in the market for less than 18 months. At ATH my profits averaged out to 20-40k a month. And I started with <30k went all into LTC, and BTC this time last year. I can't wait to see what my avg returns per month will be after 2018-2019. I expect anywhere from 100-300k per month. This is more money than any college grad would make out of school and with 3+ years experience. I am thankful to the market and the whales that make this possible. Making it early in life really points out how cucked the system is. The evolution of slavery has went from the rich owning to slaves and keeping the money to slaves owning themselves and rich keeping the money. While creating systems like debt to keep slaves in place. The education system, the world governments, the media are in place to control the labor force to prevent that population from moving up in the world. The public school system has been taken over by liberals, and the elites have only gotten more and more power. Crypto is a way for all of us to beat the elites that control every aspect of our society through money, and influence.

Nah, they don't care about age or creed (unless you're like a grandpa) and even then if you have a ridiculous portfolio of work/experience then they won't care. Half the trick is the interview questions, some places have good interview questions some have banal bordering ridiculous questions that are meant to be tricky but come off as stupid. I'll get a wave of "le reddit" posts but seriously, go to reddit. There are a lot of good subs that will help lead the way and get you prepared.

I entered in at $60,000 at the age of 32 with no prior experience. I was kind of lucky so don't expect the offer to be that high, $40,000 is closer to entry.

Thank you for the advice, I truly appreciate it. I do have some experience with development but it's quite basic. I spent about two months learning and I know the basics: variables, loops, functions, basic OOP/inheritance. I have a passing familiarity with time complexity and I think I could learn a passable amount about it by the time I need to apply somewhere. I've checked out cscareerquestions in the past and it seemed to be mostly young kids saying "lol good luck without an Ivy League education" so I got discouraged.

But tl;dr: I can write a simple mobile app that pulls data from a json API and displays it in a user-friendly manner in accordance with the design guidelines of the respective system (Android, iOS).

Can you sort of ballpark how far I am from where I need to be to get a real job in the field? Keep in mind that I'm a NEET and my "work history" consists of gambling on shitcoins. I'm smart but basically unemployable in the traditional sense according to Reddit types... which is incredibly disheartening.

I do have the funds for an education, I've just put off getting one because they seem like a waste of time and money when I can do it on my own, all else equal.

Sounds like you have enough familiarity to freelance. Start with that. There are dozens of freelance sites where you can set your price by project or hour. If you're serious about wanting experience to become employed and you want it as fast as possible then I suggest you work for peanuts until you have a sizable portfolio.

I had some luck on https://www.upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/c/web-mobile-software-dev/ before I was employed.
Didn't charge more than $10 per hour. I did take some jobs pro bono (Most left it at that, some paid regardless.)

>I had some luck on https://www.upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/c/web-mobile-software-dev/ before I was employed.
I view this purely as something to pad out my experience and portfolio and I don't really need the money, but nonetheless when I checked out upwork, I didn't find much that basically wouldn't amount to working for free.

I can afford to work for free, so that's not exactly a deal-breaker... but is that really a sensible route?

In other words, if I have a few simple projects that I completed pro-bono on my resume within the last 6 or so months, will a company take a look at me despite the fact that I'm going to be 30 soon and have no real qualifications otherwise?

Also, do you have any tips regarding finding good starter projects on upwork? I view being unable to provide assets (art, etc.) as a major disadvantage, as most projects seem to expect something complete, whereas I'd be focusing just on development.

>> No.9357959

If you can afford to work for free then why don't you find some interesting open source projects and push commits for a while?

At least that way you'll only have to focus on code, you'll get to choose work you might enjoy, and it will also show prospective employers that you know how to use github and that you can refactor other peoples shitty code (which is what you'll be doing 90% of the time at work anyway)

I hadn't considered that, thanks for the suggestion. I do wonder how my resume would look with just a bunch of open source contributions, though.

I think generally employers are looking for either savant-level talent, or someone with coding ability and decent social skills so they can get on with the rest of the team/don't cause major headaches for HR.

Plus if you're contributing mainly to open source projects it shows that your interest in coding isn't purely motivated by money. Unless you're wicked at UI design then yeah i'd play it humble.

I'm not exactly a social butterfly—I'm very introverted in general—but I'm friendly and capable of basically niceties without sperging out. I can generally get the gist of what people really mean when they describe a problem ("normie" language -> actual first step of troubleshooting or project development). Beyond that I'm not sure

I definitely don't have savant-level talent.

I've just spent the last few months thinking it was pretty much hopeless for me so I've been fairly pessimistic due to that.

Would you suggest going to meet-ups? I can't find many relevant (to my current skills—basically Android development) meetups in my area and I'm not really sure what I'd be doing there (making small talk about my own projects with strangers?) so I haven't bothered thus far

Damn you're me. I also spent about 1-2 months coding (only on SWIFT though). Then I went on Indeed and saw you needed atleast 5 years of experience.

Me being a 29 year old NEET, I figure I didn't have a chance against the college kids who were CS majors. But then again, I guess if I was discouraged enough, maybe it wasn't for me anyway.

If you really enjoy it and can see yourself doing it, then keep it going. Go on YouTube and look up life of programmer videos and such. See if you can see yourself doing that.

Introverted is fine. How easily you fit in will be down to the culture of the company, but introverts are always preferred over whiney assholes. I only recently became a developer myself at the age of 30 with no degrees or certifications and only a few scraps of code, but i'd been in IT operations for the previous 4 years and demonstrated that i had enough of the soft skills required to get along with a team of developers.

Meet-ups probably aren't a bad idea. It's definitely something you could put on your resume. Extra-curricular community involvement shows again that you take coding fairly seriously, you'll probably learn some useful stuff along the way, you can get a feel for the sort of people you might end up working with, and it's a good way to network as well. You might even come across employment opportunities.

I'd also learn a bit about different project management methodologies. If you land an interview and you can demonstrate that you understand the basics of things like Agile/Scrum, there's less chance of you immediately being written off when you walk out the door. And yeah simple + honest is the best, especially if you actually tailor your resume to the company you're applying for and explain why you think you'd be a good candidate. If you make your resume big and flashy and fill it with junk they will see right through it. This is just my experience though, YMMV

Again I can only speak from personal experience but half of the devs i work with don't hold degrees.

28 years old with pension and benefits .... 43 an hour and 46 an hour depending on residential or industrial.

Diploma in fire protection and safety as well as a red seal journeyman sprinkler fitter.

Hard work but satisfying. Worth it so far for sure

I'm 24 and I make nearly $200/h. I consult ceo's in manufacturing operation optimization. Easy af. But wagies don't seem to understand what works and what doesn't. MBA's doesn't either. They should really bulldoze every business school. We need thinking people not shills. It feels so fucking nice to go home, watch anime and to not have a gf. I don't spend money and I have more money than I could spend.

Don't know where you live but $20/hr is decent where I'm at. Have you already graduated? Do you have any plan to make more money? If you answered both to both of those I'd say hold off on killing yourself until 30. If you're not in a career at 30 just end it.

I feel bad for how bad mutts get screwed on wages. I waited tables a little while ago for 23 AUD (17 USD) /hr. Currently cucking for 27 AUD.

The downside is the Australian property market is pants on head retarded so if you don't live at home everything gets pissed away on rent.

27
70k in cash
200k in crypto
80k in retirement accounts (IRA / 401k)

quit REALLY good / $80k/yr job last year w/ crypto gains.
Completely burn bridges with company (they hate me after I quit and it's been my only job out of college)

thought I would figure out a cool career path after moving in with my successful girlfriend (she works in finance and makes bank)

>we start fighting constantly cause i'm a lazy piece of shit and she hates that I dont get out of bed until 1pm
>i get kicked out

now i live at home in my moms basement, have absolutely no job prospects, no professional references, and also have deluded myself into thinking I may never need to work again (crypto will keep gaining, stock market will propel retirement accounts, I'll get some sort-of inheritance at some point in the next 10 years, etc etc.)

I'm fucked.

Its tough on your body man. I see old fitters who are pretty gimped, but if you eat right work out and work smart you can last just fine.

Its very physical as im carrying pipe that can weigh up 120lbs and is 21' long up and down ladders all day.

You get used to it though and the benefits help. 950 bucks for massage a year plus 950 for chiro so if you're smart and diligent you wont be wrecked.

Look online for first year sprinkler fitter jobs( starts at 23 bucks an hour)

The best advice i can give is to call companys up once a week until they say yes. It feels like youre hassling them but it works.

In a 40/hr work week it comes out to about almost 40K...38,5K but that's gross and with out taxes added. Honestly with my crazy low living costs, I could save 25-28K annually so I wouldn't complain in the slighest but its honestly not amazing all things considered. I mean hell 51% of US makes less than 30K annually so its all perspective I guess.
