  • Thanks for watching! I made a similar video on my old channel a while back and I felt like it needed updates so I decided to film this new version. I think there's something to be said for having a couple of really solid projects showcased in a clean and professional way. But that's just my take 😁

    Web development is fun and you can make good money but you should remember that there are a lot of developers in India willing to work for a fraction of the salary that you are pursuing. In fact, many large tech companies have laid off their developers in the USA and opened offices in India. You might want to look into other areas that require developers but are not so easily offshored.

    • @cakinfx595
      @cakinfx595 Před 8 měsíci +10

      Actually, not true. This was tried many years ago and failed; the language barrier and time zone barrier were too much hassle and caused many companies a lot of money. In fact, it was so much money that they went back to doing their native country only (speaking mainly for AU & US).

    I do like the tip on templates. I am ok at making stunning stuff but it takes me 4 months. Rather concentrate on getting stuff done. I prefer the backend and connecting it with a design I have already so I can edit the html so it can accept backend variables etc. I really don’t know how front end dudes can make crazy stuff like they do. That really is a talent like crazy
