Answer 1

That’s who you don’t need to listen to this Shamsudin Serderov - he was a naive person who just talked about the horrors of freelancing, and now he says that he knows how to convince people.
I made it easier, I rolled out an application - which collected 100k downloads in about six months. And they began to talk to me, but I never dumped development into android and still work with the backend.

Answer 2

I studied as a system administrator, but after university I didn’t find a decent job, and from the need for money I went as a functional tester in one office. About 3 months later I got tired of poking everything with my hands and I started reading about automatic testing. I wrote the first implementations in js, but when I got to selenium, I realized that the choice of language was unsuccessful. Then I wrote a second implementation in java. After another 4 months, I got tired of doing tests, and by that time I already knew java quite well, and I was slowly learning android at home. After 2 months, I posted a resume on an android developer, wrote everything honestly, that from experience only autotests, received 3 responses, they asked for a test task everywhere, in the 3rd office they agreed to take it as a junior. But already after 2 months of work, out of 7 people, I was left alone, writing 4 applications at the same time, along the way I was still picking the php backend.

Answer 3

I started working in companies at the age of 17.
I started with the companies where I was engaged (in application development), I worked for a year, I piled up the money, they paid little.
How I was hired: I had a portfolio and the ability to convince people, although at that time I had a very poor command of programming languages, after I started working in companies, I greatly improved my qualifications, and now I can’t get a job at all problems arise.
Now I work in the company: RRC Group (4 months ends).
Moscow city.
It's not about the city and not about the initial knowledge, you need to be able to make the first impression and be able to convince that you can complete all the tasks and .., I have never let anyone down!.

I forgot to mention: I am now 22 years old (almost 6 years of experience in IT companies), + 3 years self-taught.

Answer 4

I managed to work with C++/Qt, there were C# projects. Java and Unity3D courses. I decided to try on Android. I wrote several of my programs from tutorials. Studied "good tone". I also prepared for the interview using websites and forums. I read the question - I do not understand, I study. A month and the first interview. Then harnessed and plowed to catch up with the rest of the developers.
