I am a contractor & employee at several companies. I work 3 -5 days a week depending on how and focus mainly on RoR(backend) vuejs(front end) web based software development. Software as a career seems to be quiet more tool like in its application, so i basically self taught with a few units here and there.
I use software as a side hustle and have been mainly self-taught. i'm undertaking a masters in mechatronics ( started with electrical but like robotics) and find software helps greatly in that avenue as well.
All in all it's easy money but seems to not be as worth while for self-growth.
Tips:
Send 100's of applications and apply for larger companies if you want a career in it.
Do a bunch of difficult projects for yourself and use the knowledge you gain from that in your interviews.
