    First programming job: 20
    I volunteered my time for a few projects - early days, I didn't start my dev journey until I was 18 - 19

    Also between these I was in sales and managed an e-commerce store for a retail business (the operations not the dev)

    First professionally paid programming job: 24

    It was visual basic that got me into programming.
    I enjoyed making my first lucky 7 program.
    Then I moved to c/cpp with my first challenge to make a triangle using * as char.

    It was an awesome experience.
    Credit to my brothers too to whom inspired me to try out programming

    24 was first job I was actually paid for programming long term.

    I had a simple website project paid at like 20 before once, but I didn't particularly enjoy that gig

    Don't know yet. I finished my study (software development) a few years ago and went to work as a Linux engineer, then.

    Never been a professional, paid for, coder.
