      First job I has as a developer was for a PHP role. I didn’t know shit about PHP. Did a small project at school at a point and it was all the experience I had. Lied on resume, got asked some basic questions that where true for all programming languages. Got the job, learned PHP while working.

      Can confirm, just lie, worst case scenario you just end up wasting some recruiter’s time.

        120k for a no kids household is more than enough for a house, expensive hobbies and travel.

        With 80k you could easily afford a decent apartment, normal hobbies and occasional travel.

          I dont have much knowledge about cost of living in the US, but I’d imagine it depends on cost of living in the desired place no?

          I heard on Reddit about people making about that in a big city and struggling to stay properly afloat, not like I can really trust strangers on the internet, but it sounds plausible according to my own experience…

    You remember when people told you that getting a degree in basket weaving was a bad idea because it’ll never get you a decent job? This is what they were referring to.
