Where to go to work as a programmer?

Question

Distant work

Good afternoon!
I am 26 years old, I studied math-mecha at St. Petersburg State University. For a long time, he supported the project in an obsolete language, did not develop towards the modern stack. I am quite familiar with matan, linal, theory, algorithms, architecture, OOP, I can easily enter any language. But I do not know the trends of the current programmer market at all. Please tell me if, for example, I want to improve C # and work remotely (freelance exchange?), How difficult do you think it is and what will I have to face?

Answer 1

Look towards golang (if web) and rust.
There, at least you won't get to support a monster from the 90s

Answer 2

You can see what they ask for on freelance exchanges or on job search sites. Find the most common skills in the area of ​​interest and study them.

Answer 3

and work remotely (freelance exchange?)

And all your life you will earn a penny.
You need to go into freelancing as an already established specialist.

Answer 4

Look at what development areas exist: Web, AI, mobile, desktop, game dev, data science. In which application area do you want to develop under that and learn the language))
If it's about C #, then it's usually hard for a junior to get into remote work at first. You have to work your hand in the office for a year. But, as always, everything is possible and there are exceptions))

Answer 5

Is there an algorithm how to evaluate the level of one's own skill, by what criteria - and, accordingly, what money to ask for? Not to be cheap.
