So anyone in here can give me a opinion, how i can improve myself as a worthy developer..
I am 22 years old fresh graduate and a ruby developer with currently 1 year experience, before i have learn node.js(express), php(cms, news site), db(sql,nosql)...
but i got a feel(*is it true?) that america, europe is getting a worthed salary as a programmer they are valued rather than here in my country i got around $6000/year with living cost $3600/year this is really a standart in my country. its really hurt me, so as a fellow programmer here can you guys give me a suggestion to improve my living?how bout emigrate?
An alternative to emigrating could be finding a local company working on projects for foreign clients. For example, I live in Eastern Europe and work for a company that deals 99% with clients from Denmark (Central Europe). I make significantly more than the average worker here does. Just be careful and make sure the company values quality and best practices over a quick buck.
I would suggest you to find a job in Singapore or even Malaysia. Browse http://startupjobs.asia/ and try to apply for jobs in countries around you.
After you have 3 to 5 years experience, try to emigrate to United States, Canada, News Zealand or a couple of good European countries. Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden off the top of my head. In the mean time, try to learn French or Spanish beside improving your English. It will give you much better advantages when you speak different languages.
that is what i aim for, unfortunetly some prefer local people so they didnot need to mess with working permit or anything,
for now i am looking for a post-graduate 1year study chance and give me 2-3years stay in that country did you know any of the country like that?, Thanks for the suggestion :)
My personal advise is to stop wasting your time with studying anymore. A lot of web agencies and startups do not care if you have a university degrees or not, they only care about your programming skills. Find a job in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. If you look at http://www.startupjobs.asia/ you will see that a lot of startups welcome developers from other countries.
But then again, this is my personal advise. If you firmly decided to continue studying aboard, don't let a random stranger on internet change your mind. Good luck to you anyway!
