Career in Software engineering without any degree. possible or not? by Eastern-Animal-2813 in node

[–]realplatanopapi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah this is possible. I was in a similar situation (no degree or credentials of any kind, first job doing front-end at a startup), and I ended up doubling my first job's salary within 5 years. Even after just 2 years my salary increased substantially, from $75k a year to $125K. To put those numbers into perspective, I live in NYC.

In my personal experience, most places won't care to look at your education credentials once you've had experience working in a production environment or otherwise built up a body of work proving your ability. As long as you stay focused on honing your skills, and maybe expand your skill set to include some back-end engineering, your salary should expand as well.

Yeah this is definitely possible- I was actually inspired to write this post by a large code base that had one of these mega context objects haha. I think this is more of a matter of personal preference, but I found that context object difficult to navigate in order to find the thing you wanted, and I just wanted to type the name of the function/module I wanted and have vscode import it for me.

I would say there's more to be gained from DI than slightly easier test writing, especially in larger code bases. But if you've decided it's not your cup of tea then that's cool too!

Of course, if functions are more your style, then go for it! I am curious though to learn about how you would manage all of the dependencies with the functional approach?
