Is this important? As far as i seen the ceiling is about same everywhere on Upwork, about $40 an hour for long-term full-time work and $70-$90 for short-term gigs.<p>For someone who programmed since the age of 10 learning a new programming language is easy. I started on oDesk as a Flash developer (it was 2009 - heyday of Flash), then gradually moved onto other stuff, my most recent new language was Go (i did PubNub Go SDK). Right now i am coding in Python but i can easily be doing something else next month.<p>But really, i don&#x27;t think skills are an answer here. At least not technical skills. There is no way i could be making $200K instead of $100K by learning any kind of technical&#x2F;programming skills. What i need is new markets.
