Currently working in Texas. Started with $16/hour. Over time I negotiated up to $18/hour. Left my first gig and found a new CM position that pays $25 hourly while I'm taking my master's degree.

Anywhere from $25-40/hour I would say is ideal. Clients will pay more for certifications

I have started my career in backend web development. (NodeJS)
It's been one year.
So far I like what I'm doing.
However I hear so many stories of how people in cloud , ML or data science earn huge packages.
So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?
