Programming is an incredibly degrading job that offers 0 job security and is the vocation most plagued by ageism by a far margin. You are not respected at any normal company. Every day, some Alpha, who probably does nothing at his job except getting his secretary to suck his dick in his corner office, cucks you into doing random bitch work, and then yells at you when it's not done by the deadline despite it being impossible to complete. Not only that, the code rarely works, your co-workers are Poos brought in by Tata who will replace you for half the salary and you have to train them to get your $500 severence, and the work never, ever ends. You pollute your body with the caffeinenated jew, deprive it of sleep, and let it rot while you sit the majority of the day, neglecting any healthy exercise, social interaction or life game goal attainment.
It's like a postal worker, but coupled with feelings of loneliness, helplessness and total hopelessness. Programmers are too depressed to go postal, a sad state of affairs. After dentists, programmers have the highest rates of mental disorders, especially depression and suicide.
It gets worse. Women, when they hear you are a programmer, instantly reject you. It is far better to tell a woman you are on welfare than to out yourself as a computer programmer. It's highly embarrassing for a woman to associate with a programmer, as everyone knows they are the grown up version of the hopeless virgin in high school. One who never really grew up and became normal and fit into society, but rather found an environment where he could escape the reality of his situation and be invisible, able to hide the toxic shame and utter humiliation that is the programmer.
Programming's father, Alan Turing, killed himself with cyanide because he was a programmer. Why haven't you taken the cyanide pill and quit programming and turned to a respectable and productive profession to better society?

What...? Mate, sound like you're in the wrooong profession and it's making you miserable as fuck. Look, I'm currently fucking a programer - he's awesome, funny, charming, smart, makes decent money, great in bed, has a fucking six pack...
I'm sorry to say but it's not the profession ... it's you. Go back to school or whatever, just do something that you actually at least somewhat enjoy.

>programming as a job This is a meme right?
Why would you do this? Why would you do such a fun and creative activity for people for money? Program as a hobby. If you can monetize your creations, even better. Every successful programmer created their works as a hobby, not by being stuffed into a cubicle next to a bunch of poos.
If you spend all day programming at work the last thing you want to do is go home and program as a hobby.

Ian Stewart
It's true to an extent, massive companies particularly can't stand to have programmers who are in any way indispensable. If you're socially inept and unassertive they will shit all over you and eventually replace you with a pajeet slave
If you can stick up for yourself and find a respectable company, it's decent money and not too soul destroying. But a successful gas repair man is still probably raking in more than you because he's self employed whilst you're getting cucked by PAYE (pay as you earn for burgers i.e govt gets its cut before you do)

You sound like a very uninformed individual.
I do both. Make money on both ends. Have stable contracts that have a net profit of $250k/year. Plus I can focus a lot of my time on side projects that are likely to pay even more. Win/win.
Canada is decent. Average code monkey pay is $50k-$60k/year. Which is not amazing. But they average coder enjoys the casual laid back office atmosphere. Not myself, so I started my own company.
If you are an average code monkey sure. If you are creative and opportunistic you can make it huge.
This is not possible. There is always a way to make yourself indispensable (if you are talented). Then you can demand higher pay and they won't be able to refuse. Started my own software company. Still young (2.5 years). Have learned a lot. Will answer questions if yall have them.

not in canada. canadian companies expect to pay programmers $50K CAD, or they'll just bring in pajeet for $25K
They keep running stories here in the media about how evil Trumps "Muslim travel ban" is and how Silicon Valley talent is going to flock to Canada because Canada is supposedly turning into a global talent hub (it's not). I just kek hard at these stories because Canadian companies don't pay shit compared to US companies, literally 1/3 if that. The H1-B Poo Coders that are going to get thrown out are going to be headhunted by Canadian companies but the H1-b Poo's won't even bother because the salaries are so fucking low. And then they're touting Vancouver and it's climate bullshit, when it literally costs $5M to buy a house.
There's a reason why the US produces huge successful tech companies and Canada produces none, oh wait, we have Shopify, a fucking shopping cart and Kik, a fucking text messaging app topkek

If you want a laugh just read the "documentation." If you can identify which of the two ambiguous sets of pages are the documentation (neither is marked clearly as documentation and things are schizophrenically split between them). I mean not every project can be Postgres but come the fuck on, at least try a little bit. Even pandas keeps everything in one place.

It's going to go bankrupt like every other Canadian company.
Jason Rivera
OPs right on the money. Especially in Canada. Programmers are treated like shit and paid shit. Canadian companies expect to get Stanford PhD programmers that command $500-750K USD in silicon valley for $60-80K CAD. Then they expect the stanford phd to create the product and do the heavy lifting while working for 10-20% of market wages and fire him when they think he's done and bring in pajeet for $30K through the TFW program from bengaluru to maintain it, but pajeet always doesn't know what he's doing and ends up fucking it up and the canadian companies' clients bail because the managers are fucking idiots and the company ends up going bankrupt
meanwhile stanford PhD goes to SV and gets hired by Google or MS for $600K USD a year + equity and creates some brilliant new product that earns Google/MS billions and becomes insanely rich through his equity grant

So full of shit. Your describing 1 in a million cases. But u are right about outsourcing.
Canada has fuck all for a healthy "programming sector". It has no silicon valley worth mentioning (ok a few thousand in Vancouver but it's fuck all) . Also Canada isn't respected in this market by anyone.
I'm an engineer and I program industrial controls for 130k. I'm success because I go into the field and program for the real world. Unlike most purists out there.
Do i know how to android/iphone app? >yep Do I know how to write 12 different languages? >yep Does it make good money in Canada? >nope
Programmers here are treated like it helpdesk assholes because THEY ARE. They have no concept how to program for the field. Which makes them very worthless.
OP is jerking himself off because he thinks programming is a way of life that leads nowhere (even if touring an heroed cause he was gay like OP). OP is just beta. Programmers who diversified into the Canadian market persevere not whiny little snivelling cum gargling faggots like OP.
Tl;Dr
OP is a self loathing fag who has no clue what the Canadian "programming market" actually is.
Christian Evans
Depends on the area and company, for the same position in London I was told to expect £36,000 as a placement student, although in real terms it probably wouldn't be much better due to the cost of living.
Dylan Edwards
Canada suffers from a desperate and growing shortage of computer developers and software engineers. Over the past several decades, Silicon Valley has claimed our best and brightest. An estimated 350,000 Canadians now live in the the Bay Area — a veritable lost generation lured by good, high-paying tech jobs and access to collaborators and capital.
>HootSuite CEO crying he can't find programmers >wah >wah >why won't top programmers work for HootSuite earning $50K CAD?!?!? >why does Silicon Valley keep stealing our top grads? why do they pay them hundreds of thousands?? >I can't find coders because I don't want to pay them what they're worth
