Similar story! I started 7 years ago as a help desk, then technical admin to full blown system admin. Just this month I was able to move from sys admin into software dev roll within my company!!

This wasn't really possible when I started my career. Now I have a family so I can't do a different city every week however we will be staying for a year or more in each place starting with Japan later this year. So the possibilities are still endless if you have a family with you too - don't have to be young, free and single!

awesome video! in 2022 I left 8 years in oil and gas and restarted in software development. I enrolled in a 2 year IT-Programming at local college. im half done and already getting work. in 2 weeks I leave for Croatia for 1 month to do an A.I. course through school. I have one year left of school and I will build my Fiverr or Upwork portfolio. I am chasing my dream and you can too!!

Hey man! Your story was really inspiring for me. I'm currently learning to code, in order to get a remote work in the future (I love crypto, so maybe as a Blockchain developer). I live in Argentina and would like to start traveling and skip the "office" phase (which I'm willing to do if neccesary to acquire the skills). Do you think is possible to get a remote job as first work in Europe?

Hey Santiago! Happy to see another person striving towards this great lifestyle! It's a bit harder to find a proper remote job as a junior developer, but definitely possible. There are many "remote only" companies nowadays and they hire remotely everyone. It could be a bit easier to start from freelance but it could take more time to build a portfolio. I would suggest trying both and seeing which one suits you the best.

So this is possible for me now (I'm a software engineer too). But In my country, there doesn't seem to be a way I can structure a business so that I can not maintain a residential address back home. If I go digital nomading, I have to keep paying rent back home while I travel. For example, we can't put an overseas address on a job application when applying for a job. Even running your own business requires a residential address back home.
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii 2 жыл бұрын
I think you should open your business in the other country where you don't need to maintain your address. There are Georgia, Estonia, the UK and many more. The taxes will probably be lower too.

Hey, thank you for your encouraging video. I am learning to code for 1 year and did some projects to learn JS and React. Currently learning TypeScript. Since you recommend jumping in straight into freelancing, how would you exactly do it? Just sign up at Upwork and hope you find the right project?
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! Great to hear about another join the club! :) Yeah, I would say just create a portfolio with your pet projects and start applying for jobs that related to JS/React and maybe TS. Don't worry if you don't know everything, you'll pick up during the project. It could be discouraging at first but eventually you'll find the clients and start getting reviews and grow the portfolio. Good luck!

Just passed trial period on my New job as a software developer. Working in office For now - our company policy is that employees are more productive when they're working in office. And i can see how - recently i was working from home (i've been ill so they allowed me to work that way). My productivity was way lower. I was slacking here or there and disrupted frequently. And im in st petersburg. Cant imagine me working some where in thailand and not f-ing up deadlines:) Can you give me some advice? How you stay organized and disciplined?
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii Жыл бұрын
I guess it depends on the person and the environment. I am 5x more productive at home because in the office there are colleagues. To me there is no bigger distraction than people 😂 It's hard to describe in one comment. But one think to helps me is having separate space in your apartment. Ideally, it could be cafe or coworking. Or it could be a small office room or even just a corner where you go to work. Also, what things are distracting you? Why the same things are not distracting you in the office? Maybe just put them away somewhere. Pomodoro and similar techniques are also helpful. Maybe the reason of unproductivity is the illness, not working from home? I don't work at all when I'm sick :)

Hey man I have a question. You mentioned that you studied programming but didn’t decide to start the nomad/travel lifestyle until you left your job and became a freelancer. I’ve been studying web dev for an entire year and am finally close to landing a remote job. Do you think it’s possible to have this lifestyle while working for an actual company instead of freelance? Thanks
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii 2 жыл бұрын
Great question! The answer is definitely yes. Half of the nomads I met on the road working full time. I am currently also working part-time instead of freelancing which takes almost the same amount of time as a full time job. You just need to be more picky in terms of apartments (good internet, more or less good table or coworking nearby) and think about time zones and your schedule. But certainly possible, yes.

As a person with zero knowledge about coding, about how long do you think it would take me to start making enough money to support myself while traveling? I only have a general understanding about computers (as much as the average person). I have no experience in tech or software engineering.
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! It's really depends on the person and how much time you want to spend on it. My very harsh estimation that you can learn programming for 3-4 months, spending about 2-3 hours per weekdays. But it's important that you like it. Otherwise it would be twice as hard.

I am currently asking myself whether to work at a company first for maybe a year, get some experience and save some money or trying to go freelance right away. According to you, I could just go for freelancing right away. Do you have any more advice? Thanks :)

I know this video was some time ago however I have a question I was hoping you could answer. Do I need a College degree to get a job within programming? I am a self taught HTML,CSS, & JavaScript Programmer. By no means am I an expert however I feel I have enough knowledge to obtain a job within the industry but I'm seeing that almost every employer requires some kind of college degree?
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii 9 ай бұрын
You absolutely don't need a college or university degree to work as programmer. 80% of people I know in the industry doesn't have it. I have never heard about employers requiring having degree. Do they tell you this on the interview? Because what said on job listings usually doesn't matter. Maybe it's some very specific scientific companies?

Hey Dr! I would say languages don't matter that much, you need to pick any of them and stick with it for some time. After you get the experience, changing languages is easy. You can just pick any popular language - Javascript, Python, C#, Ruby etc. You can check my other video about my thoughts on learning programming: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idielbKCls61gp8.html

i know this comment is very late and you probably wont see it, but if you do. the first question i had was, if you had a fully remote job in usa and were living in europe, do you have to pay the tax percentages for usa or for the country youre currently in, and how do you do so? second question is how many hours approximately do you work a day?
@dpashutskii
@dpashutskii Жыл бұрын
It's not too late! I still read and reply to all the comments just with a bit of a delay! ;) 1. You only pay taxes in the country where you're a tax resident. Which means you wouldn't pay any taxes in the US, only in the European country where you live. But your employer would pay the US taxes though. 2. When I was traveling, I was working for 20-25 hours per week. Daily hours were quite flexible. Some days I worked for 6-7 hours, some days 0. Right now I work 32 hours, but I am no longer a freelancer.
