/L2CG/ - Learn to Code General #1

Let's get another thread going where anons can ask questions about coding, CS career paths and how to monetize their coding skills.
>inb4 "go back to /g/"
no. this is on making money, not about Rest vs. Ada discussions
>how to git gud?
see pic related (also summoning the OP from pic related)

Ask away if you have questions on landing a comfy job in big tech

I've tried to challenge EPIC in the privacy aspects but failed, not due to the code itself as it's open source, but rather the community. EPICenter is just epic.

Link the other thread at least

I'm currently doing a PhD in CS in Germany. I plan on emigrating to another country when I'm done because losing 50% of your salary on taxes and social security kind of sucks.

What would user recommend if my goal was to maximize the amount of money I can safe per month? I was thinking Switzerland and the US might be the most sensible countries. Out of those two I'd probably prefer living in Switzerland because it feels like a more conservative version of Germany (have been living in Germany all my life). Also, I don't need a visa to work there.

Any other countries user can recommend? I don't think the Bay Area is an option for me because I'm not smart enough to make it there.

user pls

I'm also in Germany and actually declined a PhD spot a year ago because I felt like I would get cancer doing this shit for 3+ years. Took a corporate cloud dev job instead.

I feel like Texas is the sweet spot between good salaries and affordable cost of living, especially if remote work becomes more accepted after coovid.
Switzerland is kinda nice but imagine paying like 45€ for a pizza, it's insane...
How does it work for a German citizen who wants to work in Switzerland?

You're right

I want to fart in that monkeys mouth.

Thanks for the bump based schizo

How does one actually translate the knowledge of data types, loops, if statements and objects and variable into something useful and cool?

If you're hoping to not hand over half your salary to socialism, America is not the place. Really don't know where is. If you find it let me know. Maybe Singapore or Hong Kong or another Economic Free Zone

hi im a programmer and tell ppl how to run our aws. would anyone here buy coaching? on what? i think i could reasonably teach someone skills in demand and how to market themselves to get either dev or devops job

Just understand that every single app out there is just a sugar coated CRUD app. Understand REST apis and build literally anything you want.

make a youtube channel and monetize your skills

>a youtube channel

fuck no. private only - no cult of personality clickbaiting.

i could also neet life coach lol.... (not joking)

creativity

>Just understand that every single app out there is just a sugar coated CRUD app

sounds like you make boring apps

I understand but you need to find customers somehow... write a blog with free/premium tiers where you teach neet lifestyle and how to learn valuable skills

what is not a CRUD app nowadays? Some video codec optimization in C? Using some libraries to make meme models in AI?

Third world user here, I beging my data science studies next year. Will I get a job or is it trash?

HOW IS THIS BIZ RELATED. THIS IS PLEB WAGIE SHIT

I have an engineering degree but pretty much zero software/IT experience or knowledge (had entry level C++ classes, good with MATLAB & excel, understand basic python).
How can I transition careers entirely? My ideal scenario is a remote position of course, but I really just want to escape the engineering pay ceiling. What is a good career path for me? Certs? I really don’t want to go back to school. IT stuff seems interesting too. I really don’t care what I do, nothing can be worse than manufacturing engineering.

Also, god bless you OP. A lot of us are fucking stuck with bullshit jobs (or no job) and these threads give us some sort of hope.

I don't want to spend 10h listening to a fat fuck shilling me norfvpn to learn2write hello world
what are the best and the most efficient resources to start with? open and free knowledge

I can literally do all of those and cannot get a job. This shit is a meme don't fall for it

>I feel like Texas is the sweet spot between good salaries and affordable cost of living, especially if remote work becomes more accepted after coovid.
Yes, Texas sounds like a good idea and probably something I would aim for if I were to work in the US.
>Switzerland is kinda nice but imagine paying like 45€ for a pizza, it's insane...
I heard a pizza is more like 25€. Still seems worth it because my net income will probably be about 2x the amount in Germany.
A former colleague of mine went to a large German company right after his PhD and was lucky to get a 75k€ salary, which is a lot in Germany. That translates to about 42k€ net income. An equivalent position in Switzerland would probably be about 120k CHF, which is about twice the amount after taxes.
>How does it work for a German citizen who wants to work in Switzerland?
I can just apply for jobs in Switzerland, there's no paperwork for EU citizens.

I want to flashloan your foodcoins this is Zig Forums related retard

>If you're hoping to not hand over half your salary to socialism, America is not the place.
I thought taxes and social security eat up a significantly smaller fraction of your income in the US than in pretty much any Western EU country.

I actually farted while reading your post, it smelled good,,,,
Kikes are scared of me, I have an entire army of crazed retards, insane psychopaths, these men are not only horny but extremely violent.
I would watch out, do not ever call me a ¨niggger¨ or a ¨darkie¨ ever again you fucking faggot, you fucking pavement ape. I am a dangerous man. Danger!

Hows the industry like for computer engineers?

Best C course?

No we also discuss freelancing and consulting but you're just retarded if you're comparing a comfy 9-5 literal do-nothing six figure home office ball scratch job to waging at walmart for $12

How high/low is your ceiling? are you in the US? Learn web development + the CRUD paradigm and build meme apps like "add favorite movies through a search bar with a button to a list and display these movie covers on a website"

It will teach you to:
- build a frontend that displays lists
- looping through these lists (pulling in different parts like the title, the movie cover image, the imdb rating, etc..)
- fetching data from some movie database API
- deploying it on a free azure/aws/heroku VM
...everything you need for a comfy dev job in big tech

just build a meme app like described above and google everything you don't understand

Blah Blah Blah.
Bunch of kikeshit.

If I spend the next 6 months getting good at plain JS, React, Python, and Git, what is appropriate for a starting salary?

If you're starting to program: Don't choose C as your first programming language. Autists might try to convince you otherwise, but really don't. Learn one of Python/Java/JavaScript.

If you can program already, just read the book "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie.

How do I get a job in Europe? need to escape Argentina. I already have some experience

everything seems to get flooded by pajeets more and more. also many sandniggers from egypt, bahrain and such...
you have to hurry up and get good with stuff that companies don't want to offload to pajeets just yet

not worth it bro

where do you live? just google "how much does a web developer make in " and add like 30% on top because these sites are run by kikes so they lower the actual numbers to get cheap devs

I'm in southern germany, zurich is easy to reach with a car. Did you look into living in Germany/working in CH? Many boomers do it but it seems like a bureaucratic nightmare no?

>masters program in EU
>intern at 2-3 companies
>firm handshake, don't be weird
>find ugly German chick that helps you with everything
>apply at the end of your studies for a full time position

Why is it not worth it? What language you recommend?

Thanks
