We just hired a former musician who spent his 20s-30s in a band, and his 40s playing in dive bars.
He took a 2 year bootcamp and he's currently one of my juniors in his 50s. He told me the salary at the junior level was 2x more than he ever made.
Maybe he's lucky. But if you're obsessed with programming, you'll make it. It's a tough industry right now. But in two years, who knows? Maybe they'll be a hiring spree again.
wow.. good little story, thanks dude..
I needed to read this. Thank you.
