You're right, it should throw an exception, but you could have passed your message more politely, I don't think the guy you quoted is trying to show off.

Ofadaman:
LoL ,I wonder why people think DS is tech. It's not tech, you're an analyst, and you do more business related tasks than core coding.

Ofadaman:
Okay because JavaScript seems to be more difficult than python lol.

Especially with the way it dynamically convert data structures. It's the only language I know where 1 + '1' gives you 11.

TastyFriedPussy:
just dey talk nonsense. You just open mouth dey cap rubbish. Do you even know what data structures are? Just dey talk nonsense.

Ofadaman:
Here are some good links to help

1) An MIT course on blockchai, the guy teaching it now works for the SEC lol
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP63UUkfL0onkxF6MYgVa04Fn

2) this NPtel course also
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHRLZtgrF2jl8yqucJsMFqh5XpRLTgCI4

Books.
3) Mastering blockchain 3rd edition
4) The bitcoin standard
5) The blockchain developer


Do not jumo into coding without knowing what blockchain is all about, once you are done in understanding what decentralized systems are, hyperledger, DAPs, DAOs, Defi, Consensus algorithm, Byzantine fault, Peer2peer system , shardings, etc.. you be a more well grounded web3.0 or blockchain developer.

concept first, then coding next.

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.

Lindner:
I got my first job within the first 4 months of learning. $10/hour. Do not despise the days of small beginnings.

I don't think I would do anything differently. I was mentored by experts.

Alusiizizi:
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.

IamE:
IT world is broad. If your pay is less than 10k USD annually. Someone somewhere is cashing 100k annually

I am still waiting for the Colombian...
Though I work for a company here in Nigeria as a full-stack dev.
Yeah, we keep on pushing!

TheManOfTheYear:
Oh okay, I guess you're not really a junior.
I'm currently on an interview with a Europe based company, they gave me a take home test.
React.js (Frontend)

slapandfall:
Quite a number of options.
1. LinkedIn : For me, i prefer applying on the company's career page directly. So after seeing the ad on Linkedln, i go the company website, view their career page and apply from there.

Atleast to avoid Linkedln (man in the middle).

Most times, the career page is under "About Us" or on the footer. Sometimes on its own though.

2. Here is a list of companies Hiring at least in Europe (i compiled it in 2020)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WMjwxMXcsIycNxcAfxzdiGtEcRKsRs6izIRZ-O15IbQ/edit?usp=sharing

Hopefully it helps someone. NB: it is not an exhaustive list.

Open the careers page, check for roles you fit in, apply directly on the career's page.

3. Be open for interviews,

4. You can even relocate to Europe based on job once you are employed. Pretty easy.

5. Recommendations from friends and Good luck

FanOfMyself:
One was a React app that basically does CRUD. The company provided an API endpoint. Though I was told specifically to use Redux for state management.

The Second one was specifically a vue app and it's quite complex. I have to search for images matching words entered in a search field and do some mapping. After which I will generate an invoice using the company's in-house API.
Quite complex!

The third was an app for streaming musical beats with waveform visualisation. No preferred language but I used VueJs because that's my preferred framework.

Focus on Excel then PowerBI
