How to get out of the “village” into the world of IT?

Question

Career in IT

Good morning. I want to become a programmer, but already at the stage of thinking about this idea, I see a number of barriers that are difficult to overcome. The most important barrier: this is geographical, I live in the regional center, but here only phpshniks and odnosniks are needed, it turns out that if I want to become a Java or C / C ++ or C # programmer, then I have no way to get work experience here. The classic recommendation for beginners: “train, go to interviews, work for thanks” won’t work for me, there’s simply no one to go to even for thanks. It turns out that I need to aim at larger cities in terms of it. But then again, in order to go to interviews, I either have to settle there, or go to each interview from another city, overcoming hundreds of kilometers. How to be? Also, age is running out, I'm 29 years old

Answer 1

You don't have any barrier. You made it up.
IT specialties are good because there is no geographical barrier.
Just gain experience in the technologies you are interested in, and storm the sites of vacancies, freelance, etc.
in order to get the coveted remote.
Move to MSC where to spend > 40 on rent and travel 1-2 hours. What's the point?

Answer 2

Yes, you oh ... (snickering, here), gentlemen hussars.
The regional center for you, you see, is the village.
Here people work in small regional centers, and successfully ... and here is the capital of the region.
In the regional center there is java, and pluses, and sharp. And several studios with development for iOS for sure.
I searched badly.
And yes, "you won't sell an elephant with such a mood" (c) popular joke
anecdote Honor yourself. You're here to convince everyone that nothing will come of it. Of course, this approach will not work.

Answer 3

Stupid question with an obvious answer, move to Moscow.

Answer 4

Make a mobile application on Xamarin, here is your experience, and there is something to put in your resume.
Regarding age: sometimes the same paddocks overtake. Imagine that you are 45. What do you think about the age of 29? Probably something optimistic, like "everything is just beginning."

Answer 5

The biggest barrier is geographic

Deleted one!

Answer 6

Who prevents you from writing some of your hobby project in the village and putting it on github? With it, your chances of getting a remote job will increase dramatically.
