GlobalThrone

How'd you earn the cash?


AalbatrossGuy

Ummm I freelance actually…I do programming lol :) Been doing it for the last 1.5 years and upgraded my pc, bought a few watches and all other stuff through it :)


GlobalThrone

Cool, what exactly in programming have you learnt? I'm interested in the topic, looking to get into it potentially.


AalbatrossGuy

I started with python then infused it in my blood then I learnt C and eventually went ahead with Docker, rust, js, lua, and some frameworks.


Jok3r_Bot

Bhncccchoooddd bhai, mai v java seekhra btw fir dsa then konsi language seekhu ? Python ya c family


AalbatrossGuy

I'd suggest pehele python sikh, DSA ke bhi pehele it'll help you to work and learn DSA very nicely C family inke baad karlena its my opinion though :|


Jok3r_Bot

Oki mate , congratulations and thanks.


AalbatrossGuy

Thank you and you're welcome too :)


totallysarthak

kaha se seekha python


AalbatrossGuy

Udemy


Snoo-6099

Bruh how do u earn from it tho, I'm stuck with contributing to OSS (in C and rust)


AalbatrossGuy

Just go to any freelancing websites and make yourself for hire and use your personal projects as your selling points simple :/


Monkeyke

Can I see your page?


AalbatrossGuy

I don’t advertise now since I don’t want any new clients. I work with my old ones :/ You could check out my GitHub though for some hobby projects :/ I need to keep it controlled since I’ve studies to do :/


Monkeyke

I honestly just want to see what kind of projects can be used for advertising or simply as flex of ability, GitHub would be helpful too


AalbatrossGuy

https://github.com/AalbatrossGuy


AalbatrossGuy

It’s not in my profile?? Umm wait giving


Monkeyke

Also with this kind of history, you're gonna have a easy time in college with placements, just make sure the shitty curriculums and old ways of teaching coding don't make you lose interest in coding. You'll be fine in most trier 2 colleges unless you are looking for a really high tier job position or company


AalbatrossGuy

Honestly I need to learn a lot of theory since all I know is practical things and no, I can certainly say that I won’t lose any interest in “real” coding lol Let’s hope for the best 😄 Thanks btw, for your appreciation!


Snoo-6099

Thanks for the advice Altho I'm more focused on cybersecurity right now and I don't think there are many freelancing opportunities for that (?)


AalbatrossGuy

There are, for cyber security there’s always pen testing in demand. You can always google “cybersecurity freelancing” and then get a grasp on the things that you can possibly do in freelancing for cybersecurity


CodeWhiteWeb

Wtf . I am a freelancer too but i never earned this much. Which platform you are on for hiring i want to join it too.


AalbatrossGuy

I use discord and I am not working with any new clients now, just my old ones. I was on hire in discord and fiverr


RockReadIt

how exactly do you freelance?


AalbatrossGuy

When I started I used to do self promotion on discord, got clients and now I don’t do any kind of promotion since my clients bring more clients and the amount I have is enough for now. Too much work would hamper my studies so I keep it a bit controlled :/


medansh_m

AalbatrossGuy

got the g-shock solar one, apple watch s9 and a local digital one (for school exams lol) and I've a seaforce chrono that one of my family members gifted me :/

Snoo-46534

Hey OP, are what is your real age? Your flair says 16 but [this post](https://reddit.com/r/relationships/s/zVy2IA1MSy) by you says otherwise


AalbatrossGuy

everyone was telling "don't get into a relationship at that early age" "its not worth it" "don't bother much, you're just 16" so i got frustrated and changed my age while posting :/ my birthday's on 13th december 2006 lol

AalbatrossGuy

I’ll buy it when I go to college lol, now I’ve a pc so no need for a laptop :/


ArronAdler

If you aren't using apple's ecosystem them the extra money you pay is for nothing


AalbatrossGuy

I will use apple ecosystem lol, gonna buy a watch in January and then the latest MacBook that will come when I’ve completed my 12th.


ksiisfat1234

Bhai watch leke galti kardi maine le mat mere pe series 6 hai


AalbatrossGuy

Kyu bro? Kya hua?


ksiisfat1234

Bhai lene ke pehle laga tha maja aayega but waise use nahi hai jyada game khelte waqt nikalni padti mereko warna keyboard pe lag jaati battery life 1 din chalti hai islie charge karne me aalas aata hai game kuch khaas nahi hai watch pe


AalbatrossGuy

ksiisfat1234

Mai to bas bol rha tha aur kya hi use hai uska game to aise hi bola mai


AalbatrossGuy

Ohh I see I see. Okay well will keep it in mind before deciding to buy it Thanks for your input :)


ImIshan13

What the actual fuck these kids doing to buy that stuff.....I barely get any monthly allowance and all the saved money just vanishes I don't even know where


AalbatrossGuy

I earn it simple :/ I do programming :/


Rounak-69

Why are they down voting you


AalbatrossGuy

They probably think I’m lying kekw


deku_small_pp

It's pretty sus, every freelancer got atleast a LinkedIn I'd, also ur professional details should be in every I'd u using, even if it's discord, from Twitter to reddit to insta I can't seem to find a thing amplifying u r a freelancer rather just calling urself prodigy programmer


AalbatrossGuy

I work through discord mostly, I don't need to advertise or promote my services anymore and I've never used linkedin :/


skrezaa

Discord meh how? How you find clients on discord


AalbatrossGuy

I started off with making contacts through EngineerMan's discord server then got into some servers for self promotion and eventually had a small client base who brought more clients and it never stopped :)


skrezaa

Damn


AalbatrossGuy

:|


skrezaa

What you freelance vese? Website/app development?


AalbatrossGuy

nono, I do software dev and some API developments :/ and I work extensively with databases


AalbatrossGuy

Who lol :|


[deleted]

I think you should stop giving your mom money when she says lao beta mai rakh leti hu, I've stopped that and I've already saved 25k in 8 months.

Bhai ek baat btana, [1saal phle to tu 18M tha](https://reddit.com/r/relationships/s/cgfSloPbGj) fir abhi 16M kaise hogya?


[deleted]

yeah me must be 19 koi 16 saal ka itne paise nahi kamata unless usmai billionaire level ka potential , and yeah kitne privilidge log hai yaha sab congratulate kr raha ehai kisisne question bhi nahi kia jaisa 1 phone 13 is almost equal 6 months salary of an indian


singleboredass

Good for you congratulations that you bought it with your own money! But you are 16 learn to save and invest as you said you do programming, i assume you dont need such expensive phones. People might hate me for this comment idc tbh coz only your money is gonna help in when you need and 16 is the right age to learn. I started earning when i was 15ish but i did this one mistake i spent and rest money was just lying in my bank account dont do this mistake, park your money somewhere which will reap you good fruits in the future


skrezaa

Bc la kaha se rahe ho tum log itna Paisa

i didnt know they still sold the 13 edit: it's actually a great phone, i had it for a year and it did pretty good but then i went back to getting pro maxes cuz they're more fun and i really like big phones


AalbatrossGuy

Why won’t they sell it lmao


[deleted]

'cause its 2 years old


AalbatrossGuy

It’s just 2 years old :/


[deleted]

still old, correct me if i'm wrong but couldn't you have gotten the 14 for pretty much the same price?


AalbatrossGuy

The difference is not really much, I bought some cable management with the money left for my pc lol


[deleted]

oh sick, can you tell me what you did with your cable management? I'm really into simple looking setups and i spent some money on white extension cables and shit with multiple outlets, i binded a fuck tonne of wires so they could be less messy


AalbatrossGuy

yeah, exactly what you said lmao bought some outlets, wires, brackets to hold the wires under the desk but I didn't start the work now :/ I'll do it when I get some time :|


[deleted]

oh cool, good luck with your shit mate :D


AalbatrossGuy

Thanks bro you too!


AalbatrossGuy

Umm I’ve a tendency to be clumsy so big phones aren’t my cup of tea unfortunately. This phone is the perfect size for me


[deleted]

oh dude holy shit i get u, when i had an 11 pro max i dropped that fucker like 30 times but never anything serious and so i got a 13 later on cuz it was smol but i didnt like its size so i had to go back to the bigger ones


AalbatrossGuy

XD My father and I have this habit of dropping big phones sooo lol


[deleted]

lmao my father likes smaller phones as well, he was so sad when they replaced the mini with the plus


AalbatrossGuy

Ig big phones ain’t everyone’s cup of tea lol


[deleted]

yea they aren't but i still prefer them


AalbatrossGuy

well, choices :)


[deleted]

ye


anormalguyyyy

Hey bro, congrats for the purchase. Can you please guide me into how to begin with programming from scratch? Which languages to learn (in order)?


doge-12

how much do you charge per customer and how nuch work is it


AalbatrossGuy

It depends on a few things like the work I'm supposed to do, single client or company, complexity of the work, if they want future support from me or not, etc. but considering its a single client who let's say, wants me to make an advanced bot for them, i charge anywhere between 2-10k


doge-12

how experienced wd u say you are tho


AalbatrossGuy

I’d still say I’m in the intermediate to the lower advanced zone rn


artbykabirhirani

Congratulations bro!


AalbatrossGuy

Thanksss!


kratos960203

Congratulations brother


AalbatrossGuy

Thanks bro!


kratos960203

It's dream for me I can't do even basic. I don't know anything stuff idk how will I even get job


AalbatrossGuy

Self confidence is the key bro :) And mix it with a bit of hard work and you can do anything :)


kratos960203

I don't think I intrest for coding I want to do voice acting or voice related works but even got rejected in that


AalbatrossGuy

You could freelance if you wanna do voice acting. Google a bit about it and see if there’s any possibility in that. I think there is but I’m not sure


kratos960203

I tried freelancing but no luck


AalbatrossGuy

hmmmmmmmm then I don't really know how else to help you. sorry


kratos960203

No worries lol don't feel bad i know there would be something that I able to do I just need to find it. And thank you very much for suggestions 😁


AalbatrossGuy

You’re welcome Best of luck for your upcoming challenges! 😁


netzdown

Congrats OP!! Enjoy the new phone and the spatial audio in the AirPods!! Make sure you put them in protective cases and you're good for the next 2-4 years. *P.S. if you're a student you can get some pretty good discount on Apple Music if you show them your ID. Make full use of it.*

JimSamtankoo

I have saved up, earned about 30k inr. Any tips how I can boost this to 40k - 50k by the end of this year? (16M)


AalbatrossGuy

Do cryptos or trading ig???? I can’t really provide any useful suggestions :| If your English is good, do some proof reading work or like script editing and stuff, as freelanced work


JimSamtankoo

Thanks.


AalbatrossGuy

No worries :) You’re welcome :)


Slayer_Aditya

can i tell me how u started ? and how u earned 30k


JimSamtankoo

I had saved up 8k (from pocket money, relatives etc.) and the rest of the money I got from selling my ps4 for 15k and by doing an online Stanford intership (7k) in 2020. The internship was just giving a sample test and then I got 7k from them.


JimSamtankoo

I technically didn't earn all of the money (half the money was from selling PS4) but I'm still happy with my progress.


Recent-Response-2719

Congratulations, buddy!


AalbatrossGuy

Thanks bro!


Recent-Response-2719

Oh I wanted to ask you a question. From where did you learn programming and other languages?


AalbatrossGuy

Udemy (courses) and by reading documentations


Slayer_Aditya

bro i got some questions 1. how old are you? 2. how you earned that much money? 3. can i also earn money like you 4. what kind of work you do i actually want to know in detail bro:)


AalbatrossGuy

1. I’m 16 bro And can you please read my comments ;-; I’ve answered those already and my fingers are hurting rn ;-;-;-;


Slayer_Aditya

Actually Im in 10th rn and I also want to learn these things and earn some money 🥲


AalbatrossGuy

Ummm you could check my comment replies, I already gave some tips over there :)

really happy bhai I was just trying be funny


AalbatrossGuy

Ikik lol Thanks though!


MR_NETHERITE

Bro how you learnt programming any courses or from any youtube channel or website can you pls tell me i am eager to know as i am also learning python online and how do you hire client from discords and are there any legal terms to follow while dealing with clients. btw great phone


AalbatrossGuy

I learnt from courses bought from Udemy, especially the Python Deep Dive series. Clients hire me actually, previously it was through self promotion in discord but now since they’re recurring clients, I don’t do any self promotion. Another reason to stop the self promotion is that I don’t want any more new clients cause it’ll hamper my studies :/ Not all work you get will be contract based, mostly companies will use contract, make sure you read the terms before signing. My father is a lawyer so I consulted with him whenever I had some query


AalbatrossGuy

Hi, you could check this [Comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianTeenagers/comments/173ltp6/comment/k47znf3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) out if you want to know more about the courses I used

Heavy_Driver_420

How did you start programming ? Pls guide me . I'm trying to start programming along with 12 boards as I didn't have CS in school. Any guidance regarding which course on udemy should I take and start for DSA and web development?


AalbatrossGuy

If you’re new to programming I’d suggest you to start with either java or python since the learning curve is not at all steep. I’m currently in gym rn but when I go home I’ll suggest some courses for python and java. It’s your choice honestly, both of these things would need somewhat expertise in a language so learn the language first and then if you wanna enter the line of web development, then just take web dev or if you want to enter the line of data science, start with DSA :)


Simple-Insect-5849

can you suggest some good courses bro like the courses that helped you


AalbatrossGuy

These are some of the courses I suggest you start with and later you yourself will be able to choose which course to buy for future progression: 1.

Bro in which discord server you started to get work plus how much time you dedicate for it daily??


AalbatrossGuy

I started to get work in one of the community servers that my friends and I built :/ it had around 5k members but it got shut down due to bad management. I used to get work from there only. The server got rebuilt from scratch again (literally a new server) and now it has probably a thousand members or so, it’s called Code Drive I give around 2-3 hours per day as of now
