How do i get one of those well paying programming jobs? i-is it too late for me?

>haven't made anything myself
>don't know what my next steps should be
>>create github
>>contribute to projects (or work on my own)
>Where is your experience?
they should teach more critical thinking in your CS degree.
>"oh, im a programmer now"
said OP, never.

I would get on that ass

Start doing it at work to solve problems there. It will show initiative.

BRAAAAAAAAAAP

Actually that's how it works for a lot of people. One day they're just messing with Visual Studio, next thing they know they're a C++ programmer.

Seriously, you got the right idea. Though I honestly wouldn't expect much from switching careers in your mid-30's since programming has a notorious up-or-out mentality. You're probably better off sticking it out with accounting.

Your best bet is to actually spend a few weeks and hammer out a couple of projects (a good example, make a command-line program to download a batch of images from a website, like Danbooru, using their API.) and actually put rubber to the road. You learn a fair amount more by fucking up and fixing your fuck-ups than by just following the dotted line until you run into a brick wall.

This is also a decent idea. It'll remind you how quickly you can be put out of a job.

sauce?

You are so full of negativity. Please don't raise your kids(if you ever plan to) like this.

Do you live in somalia?

nice

It's called living within your means. It's really not hard.

What's kinda sad is the incredulous response you get (like yours) - it means that the drive to spend more than you earn for instant gratification is greater that the self discipline needed to work out a budget and adhere to it.

OP here, so try projects. Is that all I can do

Is data analysis easier to transfer into than becoming a software engineer?

What the fuck? Do you live in downtown NY?

So how does it work?

If I wanted to experience the smell of a vagina, I would open a can of tuna.

The thought of raising kids would be laughable to someone who hues, wouldn't it?

>make 5 figures per year in accounting
>know a bit of python

Here's your solution: take your knowledge of numbers and learn data science. Lots of data science algorithms are written in python.

Check this out: anaconda.com/download/

Note this requires you to not be a lazy fuck and pursue something for a significant amount of time.

this.
accounting experience is great, and you can use it with python that to great advantage.
make some ML scripts for your work to estimate the next year's PL.

>5 figures
>at least 10,000 USD a year
>can't afford anything
In Netherlands if I got a roommate I could live comfortably for a year for ~10,000 USD (minimum wage is ~20,000). Weren't Americucks always claiming that their low median wage is offset by their low prices?

I'm Canadian, make $75k/yr, about $50k after taxes. 'Can't afford anything' was an overstatement, but I feel like I can't afford to move out

Rent at apartments near my workplace are 2k/mo for a 1br, so 50% of my after tax income

I have no expenses really, and have over 100k in savings. But can't even afford a mortgage to buy a decent 1br condo unit

How much is a decent home over there?

(Not OP)
I happen to live in a country where minimum yearly earnings are somewhere around €4800 a year.
And it's in Eastern Europe, which makes things worse, the overall look and feel of cities is depressing and people get mean whenever I achieve virtually anything.
How do I get any IT job in Netherlands? Help me escape, please.

75% of household income it looks like (I'm an individual). Of course, the link uses averages I'm sure

Get a CS degree. Online from a 3rd rate university is OK. I graduated at age 34 with a CS degree. I have less than a year of experience and I'm making $90k/year. It also helps if you're passionate, intelligent, a quick thinker, and a decently eloquent speaker. Also: shave, get a haircut, and wear a damn suit to your interviews.

I assume you live downtown if rent is that high.
In my area of Canada 1br = $800 to $1100~ and 2br = $1300 to $1800+
I fucking hate taxes...

>do something in demand in IT

Not hard

Thanks

Should I look into finding data sets online and creating something? Or kaggle maybe?

At my workplace there isn't too much to do I feel, at least not in my role. We have a division that does more data analyst related things, but I don't think I have the experience or connections to get into it

The price I wrote is near downtown which is where I work (under 20 minute walk or transit).

I could find cheaper in the city (say $1400), but there's a tradeoff between price and commute time

Automate anything and everything at your job. Eventually learn how to use frameworks to combine it all under a single platform. Doesn’t have to look pretty, but needs to be functional. Start with simple tasks and go from there.

is there a lot of money to be made with Python? did i mess up in learning C#?

What is her name?

I found that wearing a suit to interviews with the more liberal companies is a turn off for them. You seem like an outsider. I had better luck when I loosened up and came in jeans and a button down. For more uppity companies yes a suit for sure.

Can you be anymore vague? Making five figures is literally anywhere time 10k to 99k.

You live in California and don't know how to cook. Gotcha.

This is believable if you're in bc.

Would t it be better to stay accounting?

I'm DC-based so maybe it's different here. Pretty button-up.

you can move out just fine...

Start small. What's the most repetitive shit you do? Automate that.

I fucked around with python a lot. Can't event imagine anyone paying me to write a python script.

What are companies doing with python does anyone know?

I would unironically stick my penis in her and cum if you know what I mean

i would too

but only ironically.

You're not worse or better than anyone else. Just put your shit together and start doing what you like.

Anyway, sorry but pajeet already has that job.

Ex Toronto fag.

Sadly Toronto is a gateway city and the real estate market is going to get worse before it ever gets better. All that dirty Chinese money has to go somewhere and because Mao's bff during the revolution was a Canadian, the Chinese think Canada is a lucky country.

I moved to Nashville. Took a 10% pay cut but with the exchange rate Im still ahead. Real Estate is practically free here and WAY more hot fun women.

Put down the Canada blue pill. Moving to the US was the best decision I made and my quality of life is so much better.

why didn't you just move to New Brunswick or something instead

Is it Poland?

name?

I think I know which country it is. :^)
Sadly...

Accountants make good money though dont they? Unless you live in CA where everything is inflated to hell you're not looking at a ton of money in CS. Average entry level is 60k, ten years experience will get you 110k-140k in general. Depends where you live. I'd definitely stay out of an expensive city you end up coming out with a fuckton more money despite having a slightly lower salary.

I'll just crop this pic. Could there BE less ass?

>Average entry level is 60k
but i keep on reading about people starting entry level, then after a couple years going to FANG and making 6-figures

Well sure but that's the 1% of programmers like in every profession. And they're in such high cost of living cities that they need that money to afford anything other than a closet in a 1 bedroom apartment.

>tfw no qt3.14 average japanese ol gf

>that's the 1% of programmers
i read a lot of posts on Jow Forums and reddit of guys making 6-figures in their programming jobs though

>high COL
this is true though

a lot of people i know would give an arm and a leg to have 50% of their income left after rent.

You can move out just fine.

Fellow aspiring programmer, here.

One of my friends got his first dev job at 35. I'm 30 next year.

The thing that nobody tells you about programming, is that you can't *just* learn a language, or even a few, and expect to do much with it. You have to learn a stack, which consists of an operating system, Web server, database server, and programming language.

Learning a stack will allow you to actually *do* something with your code. Learn a stack, preferably made of popular softwares, and start working on projects.

OP, go into software sales.

You don’t need to be a programming expert at all. I have a minor in CS and couldn’t program my way out of a box. I make 150k a year plus perks/stocks at 27.

If you know anything about software and can converse with people, you’ll outearn any code monkey.

move to a cheaper city. if you're wanting to live somewhere like LA/NYC/SF on a shit salary, you're gonna need roommates, no way around it.
