Hi, just like to ask those working out there what are the job prospect of a Flash actionscript programmer? Cause i look at the Singapore market, Flash programmers don't seemed to be valued very highly. Even with three years experience, the salary range seemed to be around $1800 for a diploma holder.
And unlike sales, there's no visible ';ranks'; to climb except for being a junior programmer to a senior programmer. I've been working for two years now in different companies and I can't see much prospect sticking with actionscript or is there?
Should I change to another language or switch to a new career path?What are the prospect for a Flash actionscript programmer?
The prospects for flash programmers are very good depending on where you live in the world. I am based in the UK and experienced flash developers are always in demand. My advice to you is don't change to another language, but rather learn new ones such as OO programming, XML, XSL, XSLT, UML and J2EE. This will make you more appealing compared to the 'standard' actionscript programmer.
It is worth considering becoming a freelance developer as the money can be very good. If you find things are really not working out for you, I would also consider relocating to Europe as there are more opportunities for flash developers compared to say, Singapore.What are the prospect for a Flash actionscript programmer?
Knowing more programming languages can only help you as a programmer. While there are less action-script oriented jobs, they do exist.
