Introduction

This video outlines the typical career path of a programmer, based on the speaker's observations and experience. It addresses the questions and anxieties of those considering a career in programming, providing a realistic overview of different career stages and salary expectations.

Key Takeaways

• Decision Stage: The initial phase involves deciding whether to pursue a programming career, considering various paths and backgrounds (career transitions, recent graduates, etc.).
• Early Career (Years 1-3): Focus on practical skills (building websites using JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, NextJS), alongside foundational programming concepts (logic, object-oriented programming). Formal education (college or courses) is recommended. Entry-level positions (internships or freelance) might earn R$1,000 - R$3,000 per month.
• Junior Stage (Years 4-5): Gaining a junior role (around R$4,500 per month) after 1-2 years of experience. This phase involves frequent job changes to gain experience in specific technologies.
• Mid-Career (Years 6-10): Transition to a "full-stack" role, focusing on solidifying knowledge. This involves a deeper understanding of systems and the business context of the solutions being developed. Salary increases to approximately R$8,000 - R$10,000+. Advanced skills like system design, data structures and algorithms become crucial.
• Senior Stage and Beyond (Years 10+): Senior positions (R$10,000+) often require specialization (Java/Spring, React, DevOps). Further career paths include becoming a specialist, manager, or entrepreneur. Salaries can range from R$10,000 to R$40,000+ (potentially higher internationally). Stock options and profit-sharing can significantly increase earnings.
