My Computer Programmer Salary History

[ad_1]
In this video I share my story of how much I got paid as a computer programmer straight out of university in addition to my salary and employment history as time went on.

If you’ve ever wondering about how much an app developer makes or the salary of a computer science grad then I hope you enjoy this video.

I live in Toronto, Canada so these salary numbers have to be taken into context with average cost of living and salaries for software developers in this city.

I’ve worked C#, .NET, WPF, MS Surface, Silverlight, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Flash, Adobe Flex, Windows Phone 7 and finally iOS.

It’s been quite a journey and in the process, I’ve quit 3 times to try to start my own business. At some points, I was making about $18,000 a year while on my own.

Key takeaways:
– Know what you’re worth by keeping a pulse on the current job market
– Don’t give up on your dreams and understand that you might get there in a way you didn’t expect

Website:

CodeWithChris is dedicated to teaching beginners and non-programmers all about building iOS apps. On the site, you’ll find a ton of free resources and tutorials to aid you on your journey to learn iOS development. Many people have successfully picked up Swift 3, Xcode 8 and app building from my course and materials!

    Note: you can still build a career in programming with out college. I started out freelancing to get my chops. Income hasn't been as good, as I'm only making about 30k right now (although, I've only been doing this for about 5 years, in total vs. this guy's 10). But it's doable, and no student loans which offsets it a bit too!

    So if you know asp.net c# wish you did a video for folks that know that and want to learn an Apple app. Would be helpful. I know asp.net c#' C, and many mainframe languages and want a quick lesson on an iOS app.
