This your 3rd response has surprised me bro shocked

Why wouldn't you have learnt C#/.Net, please I would like to know because I am planning to learn C#/.Net too
I do mainly Javascript and its variations/frameworks

JS provides a better career if you're good with it.

Freelance. Pay was paltry and inconsistent at first, but after a 2 years or so, I have many steady, well paying clients and now have time for almost nothing else. I usually expect $4000~$5000 monthly. Some months lower/higher than others. Most of my work is strongly numerical and there's quite a bit of data science. Occasionally some web development. I have a product that I've been working on for a few months now, hopefully I'll be done with it by the end of next month and with good enough marketing I dream of fetching $1000,000 every month.

On your working days, like how many hours do you work on a day?

ETL developer ??

Any SQL Database administrator here ??

Yep!
I got my remote job from Angel.co
Pays £2,500 per month
I should have started from learning SQL, Excel Power BI, instead of trying to build dashboards Using python-django. I saw some guy comment about the opportunities in Google stack, but in the UK where I target, there are more opportunities with Microsoft stack.

bro when did you start tech initially ..help a bro
As early as 200l when I was schooling. Do two things, pick a language(JavaScript, Python, Java) and learn a framework on it (Node.js, Django and Spring), then master Data Structures and algorithms alongside building projects, and you have the arsenal you need.

I just get IBM Data Science Professional Certificate in Dec 2021, I have been struggling to get job on Upwork,but no luck yet. I can use python,SQL,pycaret for ML,what do you suggest I do differently to get jobs?

Your first job will be the most difficult to get. You must offer the lowest price and appeal to the customer with good narratives. And when I say low pricing I mean stupidly low. It is on these first few giveaways that you earn the reputation that will be used to much more easily gain better paying jobs.

I find myself working most of the time. In this business there are no weekends/holidays. Working hours would be about 6~8 hours on average.

As a freelancer or a Remote employee? Assuming they are two different things.

I feel as a Remote employee, weekends should be observed.

Skip: You can learn from being an intermediate in 3 months.
If you're an absolute beginner, 6 months or more will do.



Well, my first remote gig was 1/4 of a mil /month naira equivalent. It was a short 2 and half month process.



I would never have learnt C# or .Net. I would stick to JavaScript and all the shades of it.
Then, I'll adopt Google Dev Ecosystem rather than Microsoft.

Bro, please how can I start this journey, is it possible to start without a laptop.

. It's online, and cost a fortune. Our parts are different, so I'll advice you pick up something less expensive. Stutern is doing a good job, and so is decagon. But if you have the discipline, get a course from PluralSight or Udemy and be dedicated.

PS: Based your learning on projects (Building portfolios)

God bless whoever created this thread.
I am a Self taught front end dev.
HTML, CSS, Java(basic), version control, PHP(basically form use), Email marketing, Cloud Hosting

Started my job search this month. (February)
Jnr front end (keyword) on uk indeed

Been getting so many rejections and "unfortunately' mails.
Not sure why..

Had to build a portfolio website for myself and
Solicited to build a 1 page responsive site for random people for free just to add to my portfolio.

A Devop friend told me I don't need to know all the codes. I only need to know enough to get me the job..

Previously I restricted my search to Manchester (I'll be relocating soon).
Now I will have to spread my tentacles even beyond Europe.

I will also create a LinkedIn profile or learn how to use the premium version.

I hope someone Learns from my steps.
I am open to more tips and recommendation.
I accept the blessings in Good faith Sir smiley

Self taught and do projects ,projects done are displayed on my page and GitHub profile then I apply for jobs.

I don't think anyone can survive in IT without the will to learn by themselves.
Good day sir, pls can I have link to your GitHub. Am learning Laravel-PHP framework, but am kind of confused at the moment
