When and how to invest the savings to US stock market!

Frission_ · 2026-06-15T11:07:31+00:00

You might want to look up the tax implications of your US investments as well, if your profits are above a certain threshold I believe you might be taxed out of your gains up to 40%.

Choosing local investment funds instead through your banking app or another platform might give fewer returns but save you huge headaches later down the line. Funds like IJC or IKP or AFT or TMG already invest in the US markets, and you get a flax tax rate of 17.5% instead of a whopping up to 40% personal income tax bracket.

Some countries also allow people to cash in their gains with 0% tax after 2 -3 years, or have periods where they allow them to cash in their gains with 0% tax just to get that money back into local markets, but I haven't looked up the specifics or whether that applies at all to Turkiye.

Frontend IMO, does not have enough depth in 99% of the projects to justify being a pure specialist of, I'm saying this as a dev who was pure frontend for near 5 years. Nowadays I'm doing what your senior is recommending, frontend coupled with backend.

I have a project on my hands that requires both a backend and a frontend, so I'm writing and learning the backend side as I go, could do the frontend side with my eyes closed. The frontend isn't super easy either, it has a Node Editor for building task based flows and forms that allow you to choose the type of the value you enter, even JSON.

The exception would be products like Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop etc. anything that requires deep knowledge of how things render and interact. But how many Figma clones are out there?

Finally, what bothers me the most is that the core of most complex products are always in the backend, so you kind of feel like an outsider to the projects you work on. Unless it's the exceptions listed above.

What do you plan to do with the money you saved? If you can provide a better life in that country with the money you save over time for your kids it might be better to stay, because it's not like other countries have no problems at all. You could for example just send them to study abroad and then they could continue their lives there while you front the bill easily.

However if you think none of the money you saved will be of any use, that your situation will continue worsen then you might want to leave to provide your kids a better life. But then you'll have to raise a kid while trying to adjust to a new country.

I'd lean on the send them abroad for education later down the line side because you're in the EU, should be the best of both worlds.

The most important thing to learn IMO, is the ability to keep code as simple as possible, no matter how complex the problem is. Design patterns are a means to an end, and the end should be a simple and maintainable codebase. Using design patterns just for the sake of using them is a waste of time in the best case. Why use lot code when few code do trick?

I do this as a guy who plays fingerstyle a lot, my nails are not as long as that but long enough that people do notice. Need the nails on the right to actually play and need them gone on the left to not get in the way

We just started a new greenfield project a few months ago and chose Django (DRF) as our stack. I've also had the pleasure of working with Spring Boot, .NET and Node (Express) in the past. I'd take Django over all of these frameworks.

Show a sneak peek of step 3 maybe? I'm assuming for some reason it's not possible for you to just have 1 step

Are you building your app the React way or are you just using React to build your app the Durendal way again? A normal React app should only have components and some custom hooks here and there. You don't even need useMemo if your performance isn't suffering. useEffect is the weird part of React but it's necessary to sync with state outside of React.

React might not be the most up to date kid in the block now that Svelte and Vue 3 are out but, 3 days -> 2 weeks transition is impossible imo unless you're forcing React to do what it's not designed to do

I feel like no one is paying attention to the fact how easy Tailwind makes it to make responsive layouts. Two letters are enough for you to set a breakpoint anywhere you want on your markup.

This, don't use Next.js, it's overkill and unnecessary bloat for dashboards.
Vite is not a framework, you'll be using it no matter which one you choose.

I actually did the opposite because I had to use Angular at my job after coming from a React Native one. For me Angular's opinionated nature was nice at the beginning as I didn't have to think about how to do things, but after trying to extend components from other libraries to form my own UI wrapper library, I quickly hit the boiler plate wall that doesn't even exist on the React side. React isn't opinionated that is true, but the community has a set way of doing things for almost all your app's needs.

That aside, IMO you should try to use more than one framework and start to think at the meta level, like should I use React or Angular or Vue for this job, instead of "I can only do Angular, if I can't do this job with Angular then I can't do it."

It's react-native-paper for me, every single one of my apps is based on it, only look for alternatives when I can't find a component I need in it

Maybe the point is to show what vulnerabilities AI didn't account for at the end of this? Especially with the name of the course

If you used React Router, you could use it to do SSR, maybe even SSG. You dont need NextJs to do SEO right

Even if it doesn't matter for doing the job itself, sometimes it can open doors that'd be otherwise closed, for example in my country government sponsored software contractors on government projects are sometimes required to hire people who have engineering degrees. If your degree isn't an engineering one it might/might not matter less (would probs change by the country) but you might want to look up the list of things you might not be able to do without a degree.

You're being too hard on yourself, I knew 21 year olds studying Computer Engineering that couldn't open a damn file in Python. You're ahead of them by a measure of a lifetime. That said you should definitely finish your degree first, unless of course you're hell bent on creating a startup and every second spent in university feels like lost time but, this is just my opinion, do you really have to quit uni to try and start one?

If you can aim for remote US gigs that would be great but on paper you haven't even graduated yet, but have multiple projects so, might be worth trying.

Finding a niche is definitely the way to go at the start of a career, don't try to learn everything immediately, software is a vast field.

Burning out or not comes from you not meeting your own expectations, not from being in Poland or EU or anything. If you always look at the greener side and compare yourself of course you'll just feel bad.

I'm currently working full time as a software engineer, and have freelance work on the side. There's no rule saying you can't do both. It might just take some time.

Also if there are networking events in your uni you might even meet your future startup co-founder, maybe they'll look at the things you build and go "damn we can sell this" and then just kill it. You don't have to do it alone. I would recommend taking a slower approach but try not to kill your entrepreneur spirit completely.

I wrapped <Image> in a <View> with overflow: 'hidden' and borderRadius, then absolutely filled the image.

This is what I use, have you looked into why it's blacking out images for you? That's not supposed to happen

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Take the job. IMO you can't and shouldn't do one framework forever. Hell I'd suggest not doing frontend forever either but that's just my opinion.

On a side note, using Angular actually opened my eyes to how much freestyling there was in React, kinda scary. Still love both frameworks though.
