I'm struggling to get my first job in software development. Even junior positions require a minimum of 1 year commercial experience. I have a strong urge to go my own way, so to speak, by doing freelancing and taking on whatever challenge that comes in my way. I'm confident I can do anything with my sheer determination.

I'm already moving in the right direction this just confirms it for me, thank you

@Stefan Mischook, can you do a video on the advantages and drawbacks of freelancing? And what the exact steps are to start freelancing?

Can you make a video about solo mobile developers?Things about if it is worth doing it, which languages do they use, their future, avarage salary, how they get the downloads

What do you think of No Code? Do you think it could ruin the job market possibly? I haven't done a lot of research on it but it claims to be able to build software that an engineer could, but visually.

What's the best way to look for non-web freelance roles? It seems 90% of dev jobs are web related these days

Hi I see in your program that you teach php and python but these are awful languages for large scale projects… why? Is what people say on these languages wrong? Also is it possible to set one’s own schedule?

[xedgerenegade]

can a freelancer earn more than a FANG employee of equal caliber? It's quite true that at the beginning freelancers get paid way less, and even have to work for free to build a reputation. But maybe after 3 or 5 years, can a freelancer earn more than a FANG employee??

And I'm stressing about becoming a freelance developer after almost 10 years of job experience 🤣🤣


BTW: Maybe it's a Europe thing: Nobody ever asked me about certificates. Sometimes about my university degree but that is also less and less.
