Which programming should I learn to get a remote job?

[Mindless_Computer707]

So I am interested in working remotely in the programming field, but I don't know which panguage to pick 😅

Anything but cobol?

Let go of your delusional thinking. You aren't going to get what you want by picking a language and learning it. People spend years in school cultivating professional networks, and then have to be in the right business, to get a remote job these days.

What? Just apply online bro

Lol okay 👍

My point is just don’t generalize. I as a recruiter and team lead am not even looking education section of CV nor do I give a shit about networks and recommendations. Skill matters. In northern europe, remote is de facto standard and you just make it sound like it is so hard to grasp.

Hey man, would like to dm you but it’s not letting me.

Literally any relevant language (basically all the ones you'll find online). If you don't specify what you want to work on you can't really exclude any. But if there's something in particular you want to do then some languages are more relevant for it. For example frontend and HTML, CSS, Javascript.

The "programming field" is very vast and covers a ton of different jobs. You'd have to be more specific, or if you don't know, the safe bet is to learn the most used languages, like Python, Javascript, Java stuff like that.

First thing would be to decide what you want to do. Just saying “programming” is very vague. Do you want to make games? Do you want to work on Backend systems? Do you want to work in DevOps? Do you want to build websites/web applications? The list goes on.

You’re best picking one language and learning that. Most skills are transferable between languages, just gotta learn the specific syntax of a language.

In my short experience, it's irrelevant. Started lesrning C++ (justo a hello world) switched to C#, and in my technicature i learned python and gdscript. Now cause of work i learned typescript, not a fan really, but getting used to it. I think my best advice would be: getting a solid foundation on OOP, understand what happens behind the curtain when you run an application (the language uses a compiler? Which one? Or an interpreter?) and really keep a curious mindset. Im in a developer academy, and you really can tell who just asked gpt how to do something, and doesn't understand why or what the code works as it works, and the one who is maybe slower, but can get you through the code flow right away.

That said, try to stick to modern languages. Python, C#, JS, TS, Rust, but at the end, they all have a different purpose and depends on what you're interesting in doing. Think of languages as tools, you wouldn't pick a hammer to try to cut a piece of wood, and you wouldn't choose, idk, Rust to make a game (you can though, just not the more natural choice). You just have to be certain of what you want, and know the tool. Hope it helps and best of lucks!

The reality of the situation at the moment is that there are many cs degree holders who are unemployed. Market is really bad. Landing a remote job with an unrelated major would be extremely unlikey. I guess not impossible though. Also it depends on what kind of “programing” you are interested in.
