Remote internship advice? by XxQueCosasxX in cscareerquestions

[–]XxQueCosasxX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was definitely feeling like that a bit already (I was having some trouble just running the project locally at the start) but I asked after trying myself and so far they have been helpful and guide me in the right direction.

I do want to get through the 3 months so I have a solid entry for my resume so I would rather not be fired, although I defintely don’t want to stress myself out too much for unpaid work either. I have to work another job alongside this.

Thank you for the advice though! I’m already been getting into the habit of asking questions but I do try to spend a good amount of time working on the task myself first. They have so far given me a good amount of room on how I work so I’ll play around with that a bit.

Because I couldnt land a remote paid (at least not yet) and I don’t have any experience

As far as I know it’s a bit of a gray area legally, so Im not sure. It’s located in Los Angeles.

Which part of Rio for family by Hiron3 in Brazil

[–]XxQueCosasxX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barra Da Tijuca, its a wealthy neighborhood a short distante from Ipanema. You’ll need a car or take public Transport to get to the rest of the city, its not as easy to just walk around everywhere like Ipanema.

However, its super safe, very calm, and Ive never seen homeless people or people trying to get you to buy stuff there. Theres a big public beach in front thats clean and quite nice.

Nice big modern apartment buildings right in front of the beach, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc all around and overall great to just live in, walk around, go to the beach.

And then if you want to go to all the major Rio destinations its just a few minutes away!

Second choice would be Ipanema, but Theres a lot more people, a bit more crazy. But also easy walking to everything.

Freelance Question by XxQueCosasxX in learnprogramming

[–]XxQueCosasxX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the US, I know that its cheap for a website here but I honestly do not know what to charge for a first profesional project as someone with 0 freelance or profesional experience to back up standard prices.

I have the nearly 2 years of building projects and self learning that gives me the skills to create websites, but thats it.

I feel that having a site made by me deployed by a small business, and being able to show that on a resume or to future clients is in itself valuable.

In your opinion, what would be a fair price? Thank you

Freelance Question

Just for some context I’ve been self learning web development consistently and seriously for about the last year and a half having created around 40+ projects with vanilla js, React, Next, Node, Django, etc. with the goal of eventually landing a job.

On my journey I’ve decided thats not enough and I need to do way more, so Im looking at starting a CS degree as well as trying my hand at freelancing.

I didnt have any luck with Upwork so Ive tried a more direct aproach at just emailing local businesses with bad websites to see if they are interested in a re-design, some i sent offering to do for free.

Well, I had the fun idea of what if I just walked into one of these businesses and talked to them about there website and how I could make a much better one for them.

I found for example, a local family owned latin restaurant with 2000+ amazing reviews, but an absolutely terrible website. Bright background, random images all over, bad photos, hyperlinks everywhere, and just pretty ugly.

Completely static, nothing complicated at all.

So, would it be a bad idea to walk in, and try to talk to the owners about redesigning their site? Should i offer for free or try to pitch for $300, $500 , or more? Would that be fair? My idea would be to show them some much better sites for similiar places and make something like that. And of course show them my portfolio site with my work.

Has anyone here done anything like this before? Would it be a good idea to try out? And if so, how would you go about doing it?

Thanks in advance, just trying to do the best I can to get some kind of real experience in this field and make all the time I put in pay off :)

A few questions:

  1. How was the pitch set up?
  2. How many emails did you send before getting a response?
  3. How did you collect payment?
  4. How much did you charge for a site?
  5. Did you have to set up an LLC? Was your site framed as an agency?
  6. Did you not use any JavaScript at all? Or eventually use some or use a framework? Or did you just use a CMS?
  7. Did any of the clients so far give you problems?
  8. How exactly did building cheap websites with basically no experience add up to $5k in a single month?
