I'm learning C# with Tim Corey's course. What can I expect career-wise?

I know big companies use C++ for Unreal Engine, there's Python for AI, but I chose C# because that this could be the middle ground in difficulty and what I can apply it to: Unity and still make softwares. But, as you can see, I'm still a little lost on my job opportunities or even solo endeavours. Can you guys give me some light on this? Like... What to expect on freelance and 9 to 5 jobs? Crunch and whatnot?

Self taught? No degree? You can expect to be a barista at Starbucks.

A course is not going to provide you with any job opportunities. If you had a degree and did some internships you might be able to qualify for an entry level position. If you work at a company that is transitioning to Azure maybe you could use some C# skills to improve processes or make websites.

What's your degree in? How much development experience do you already have besides C#?

C# is huge for enterprise software. Think internal business apps, finance systems, healthcare software. Tim Corey's course is actually perfect for that world. Most C# jobs are not game dev. They are boring well paid backend work. That is a good thing.

That is awesome. Thanks. If at some point I can at least land a boring job and make games on the side, that'd be ideal. It pays the bills at least, you know?

.NET is probably a top 2-3 most common tech stack in the industry, there’s way more opportunities than C++ and Python if u ever look at a job board. What to expect? Dont expect to land any work if all u did was an online course… lets be realistic

Thanks. .NET. Got it. As for the following, it is as old as walking forward, as they say in my country. You want to work? You need a job in order to get a job. Makes no sense. Haha.

backend dev, enterprise apps, unity, tons of boring business stuff, but jobs exist, just hard to land anything entry level now

Thanks! And how's the hiring now to make you say that? I'm clueless about it. I'll be hitting the job market in 1-2 years. Also, I'm not American. Maybe they hire me for being cheap labor? Haha.
