Is it possible to secure career growth and a good profit without being a resident of Moscow or St. Petersburg?

Question

IT education

I live in Chelyabinsk. I study in high school, I began to get involved in the layout and design of sites in parallel. Since it is not yet possible to move to another city, I began to look for options in my native city.
Do you think it is possible to secure career growth and good income in a city like Chelyabinsk? (if we take into account the design of sites and their layout, as well as the front-end)

Answer 1

Freelancing works well with the front-end. And the employer will not care where you are. In general, see vacancies here , for example. Compare s / n in you and in Moscow / St. Petersburg and decide.

Answer 2

Freelancing, for example.
I also remember one friend found a web developer and designer in the city for 300 thousand, he just advertised in Yandex direct "website creation" and made good money this way.

Answer 3

You can build a career no matter where you are. Freelancing is great for getting started. Well, at the same time, you need to gain experience (by participating in Open Source projects) and make a portfolio. If a person has a good portfolio, then they will take it. To prove the portfolio, for example, you can post ALLOWED things on GitHub

Answer 4

Rumor has it that in Palo Alto (Silicon Valley) salaries are better than in DC.
