Web Developer

While tasks and responsibilities will vary depending whether you become a front-end, back-end or full-stack developer, the most common day-to-day tasks include:

• Collaborating with stakeholders, clients, and designers to build products that meet the needs of the client and end-user.
• Building and maintaining websites.
• Identifying and fixing bugs to optimise and improve a website.

• Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Informations Systems or a related field.
• It is possible to become a Web Developer, if you have other certifications that have taught you the relevant Web Development skills. To gain these skills, you can look relevant courses at coding bootcamps, like Code Academy, or online courses provided by companies like Udemy.

Working hours are usually the normal 8 hour day, with a fair amount of flexibility. Each company will vary, but usually have core business hours, usually between 11am and 2pm, where you will have to be in the office for meetings.

However, as deadlines approach, or if bugs need to be fixed, you might need to work into the evenings or on weekends to finish on time.
