    Thank you thank you for your excellent advice at 15:41 - don't worry about money but focus on getting better! It's shocking how many 'devlopers' you meet who can't actually code and yet they want to be paid high salaries. My experience is only based here in the UK where I've been a software developer for 20 years. As a senior leader of my team I do hiring as well, which means that I get to talk to many developers. Some of them don't even know Linq basics, and yet they tell you that they have 10 years experience. For me, I'm always learning. When I'm watching TV, I feel a bit guilty because I feel that I should be using that time for learning. I suffer from a bit of Imposter Syndrome as well and that's why I just can't stop learning. We are lucky at work because they pay for our Pluralsight subscription to motivate us to learn, and I'm always on it. So please focus on improving your craft and the money will take care of itself. When you become good amongst your peers, everyone around you will notice sooner and respect you for it. Lastly, just remember that you can always learn something new from anybody, so be open minded about things. Happy coding!
