@asparallel Yeah, there's a lot of differences between US and Europe jobs when talking about this field, but requirements for the field entry can be also different from country to country in Europe as well.
Btw, we've worked with Indian companies once or twice and after seeing what code abominations are coming from them I don't think that we (from Europe) can be compared to them on the same level.

Also, note that while I don't have a degree and I'm self-taught that doesn't mean that I don't know any CompSci theory and math. You don't need to know these things that much for field entry, but once you're settled you have no excuse for not knowing them, you should sit down and spare some time to learn about software architecture, CompSci theory, and math or those things will come around and bite you for sure.

Another thing is that I'm currently working as a full-stack engineer to be exact, I'm doing some coding on the backend (C#, Node) and working on DevOps infrastructure as well. I was thinking about going to college this year, but it's just a waste of time here, and I'm good learning on my own.

@dcmdorazio Please finish college, while degree sometimes is just a paper it can be useful for a number of things later on in your life.

I plan on it. I was just looking for more guidance on how to be better while I continue my degree. Thanks

Sure, feel free to DM me if you need help with something. What I can suggest you is to find something you love to do and then practice the hell out of it until it becomes the second nature to you :)
