High Paying Programming Jobs


Which high paying programming skill has reasonably good demand? Blockchain, ML/AI, quantum computing, AR/VR (Holo Lens)..?


  👤 PragmaticPulp Accepted Answer ✓
High paying jobs are more about going to the right companies in the right industry and delivering quality results. A lot of the high paying jobs right now aren’t necessarily in the most buzzword-heavy job descriptions.

Chasing arbitrary buzzwords alone doesn’t really career results. It takes more than a few programming skills to make a good career developer.

You have the wrong idea. It's not skills that pay, it's companies. Learn to crush the interview circuit for the companies paying 300k+. There aren't that many.

Within any skillset you can typically reach the highest paying jobs. Many of them hire generalists.

regular application development is the easier to get though.
