I've been a coder for almost 2 decades now but it's mostly been my own clients that I've used my knowledge on.
I work as a designer in a company at the moment and I'm not particularly happy with my salary. I want to put my knowledge to use as a full stack developer in any other company, but everything I've ever done with regards to that is self-taught. I don't have a cert for it but I have started taking a course on udemy (the course) so that I can get my cert (even if it's not accredited) by the end of it and also to learn things that I didn't realize that I lacked. Once I finish this course I'm going to be looking for other prospects. How likely am I, to land a job as a full stack web developer just based on the cert alone? Has anyone here ever gotten a job from that course? How important is a portfolio as compared to a degree in computer science?
