Precipitation, share, grow, let yourself and others can gain something! 😄

One, foreword

Leaving work at 5:30 gives me more time!

🤔13 ~15 years, I have never thought of a day to go to work, but also can after 6 o ‘clock! Because the first company I worked for was a more traditional outsourcing company, different from an Internet company. I don’t know now, but back then:

  • You get in at 9:00, you leave at 6:00, but basically everyone leaves at 5:30.Sunset every day after work ☀️
  • A project code written in C# can run for ten years.A Java programmer wrote C# for two years
  • There are trips several times a year, and almost every part of the country goes.Went to Shanghai four times a year!

Because of this, I go home from work at 5:30 and eat at 7 o ‘clock. There’s plenty of time left for me to grind. During that time, I took on a few private jobs and made $20,000 in total. During that period, I rented a house near the Lugou Bridge. It was very comfortable to live in the small courtyard of the bungalow in the village. I lived happily for two years.

Ha ha, isn’t it true that most programmers are afraid of being caught doing illegal work? For the first two years of my career, in addition to having time, I had a great leader. He took me out partying, took me to his house for barbecues, and told me how much to charge for private jobs “because he was mainly responsible for leading projects.” I was a programmer.

🤕 but, since arrived the Internet is completely did not have this time and energy. Of course, another important reason is to spend more time on the real things, only sustainable investment and sustainable return, more meaningful.

Two, 20,000 yuan of private work income

1. Enterprise Portal (5,000 yuan)

  • Index: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
  • Background: When I just started working for about a year, my high school classmate asked me if I could help their company build a website by learning computer, just imitating the style of Lao Luo’s hammer company, 5,000 yuan.
  • Result: I received, may also be a novice is not afraid of tiger, the somebody else needs to use PHP language to write! I learn Java, wrote a fast year of C#, after using PHP to do an enterprise portal website to the other people, the courage to say not quite big!
  • Achievement: The project was successfully deployed and 5,000 yuan was obtained as promised. I bought my first iPhone 4S, which is still with me.

2. Furniture promotion website (2,000 yuan)

  • Index: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
  • background: at the beginning of 14 years, relatives opened a small workshop that makes aquatic animals box, also be informed that I am to learn to calculate. A lot of people came to me and told me to do a website promoting their company’s productsIt’s too expensive to get someone to do it outside!.
  • Result: 💰 money za also embarrassed want, just server and domain name wait for cost of money want, however later gave me a big red envelope 2000 yuan, hey hey, hand a shake, received!
  • Gain: THANKS to the fact that I had already taken over a project, PHP was also easy to develop. I made a website layout in the style of Diandian according to the style they liked at that time. I paid the rent this time!

3. Netty Communication Framework (2000 yuan)

  • Index: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
  • Background: Around 14 years, began to like Netty. Maybe there wasn’t much on the Internet at the time, and a lot of people came to me because I wrote a whole set of Netty cases. Can I write a Netty communication framework no, 2000 yuan.
  • Result: This was also the first time that money was made in Java instead of PHP. It’s easy for me. I finish it at 5:30 when I get home from work, and I finish it the next day.
  • Takeaway: Knowledge can really be money, especially if it’s a little harder and there aren’t many people involved.

4. Graduation, lectures and data collection (11,000 yuan)

In addition to the private work received above, but also received a lot of small work.

  • Undergraduate graduation project, 1000 yuan. From pig eight Quit network.
  • Graduate encryption algorithm, 2000 yuan. A fellow graduate student designed it with me and gave me money to apply for it from their school.
  • Online lecture to a student, as if a day is 50 yuan, in the future fast 1 month, 1000 yuan.
  • A logistics data integrated platform, in fact, not many functions, a bit like recording foreign trade orders, 5000 yuan.
  • Assisted a boss who took over a project by himself, wrote part of the Netty coding and decoding code for a week, and connected with the next computer. 2000 yuan.

In this way, seven seven eight in those two years, made more than 20,000 yuan. Of course, there are some small income, less than 1000. There are also cheated, such as people get the project will not give money or get a screenshot “I did not add watermark”, people enough demo, also do not give money.

But, these all can’t compare me a partner, the private work income that he receives every year will have 20~40 thousand, still quite cow!

Three, experience

  • I learned a lot of new skills from private work, such as the serious deployment of a website, all the process is clear. It’s important for a backend developer to know the whole process.
  • But personally, if you leave work late. So, do not recommend personal work, basic is difficult to deliver, may also delay your career development. With limited time to do more meaningful things in the future, a small amount of money on each road can cost you a lot of time. Especially if you’re making a little bit of money and you’re not going to be able to grow your skills, but there are exceptions, like a lot of people who have made their money doing private work.
  • Look beyond the phenomenon to see the essence, to do long-term investment and long-term return.Work, learn, settle, break the game.Exercise, fitness, running, self-discipline.

Iv. Series recommendation

  • Be reasonable, as long as you are a programmer who love to toss about, graduation job really do not need to spend money training!
  • Graduated in 2013, from outsourcing to Internet factory in two years
  • Work two years resume to write like this, who want you!
  • A code review, almost failed the trial period!
  • To save money, I learned PHP in 1 day!
