Do I have to come up with the coding to become the CEO of a software company?

No, you just need to hire people to work on your idea. They will just be employees and will get salary, ownership of product will remain with you. Legal advice is highly recommended

Should I take a pay cut to join a software company in Europe?

Whether to take the job or not, is a personal decision and I will not try to advise you about.I do not think recruiters will be able to "low-ball" you just because of where you are. You will need to be aware of the market conditions as they are when you attempt to come back. Nobody wants to pay you more than they have to, and it's your job to know what you can get in the open market.The only risk you are really running as much as a pay cut is concerned, that if you are attempting to come back into an "employers' market" it will be tougher for you to retain the levels of income you left behind, as opposed to if you kept your job all this time

Can someone work on side projects while at a software company?

One point to add is to just talk to the powers that be at your company if it seems close to your non-compete.At a previous company, a colleague and I approached the SVP of Product about an idea we had, and we were met with awesome enthusiasm and he directed us to our company's partner program, urging us to register as partners and leverage the customer-base of our workplace.We could've just flown under the radar and skirted the edge, but why not just talk about it? It kept our jobs safe, and gave us a huge boost and motivation to go and do more.

Selling software to a company? What copyright should I do?

First of all, congratulations!You really need to talk to a trusted relative (because you are probably young, and that trusted relative will hopefully have more experience and be a second pair of eyes having your best interest in mind), and get an accountant and contract lawyer, because you need to decide whether to:Each has it's advantages and disadvantages.Also, an important question is whether they would expect you to maintain it for them, and how much they would pay you for such maintenance.(Changing subjects: I am dubious as to whether or not this is really on-topic for the Personal Finance & Money site. ).

How can I find a salesperson for a software company, based on percent from every deal?

Find a good recruiter/headhunter. My company does not do software sales, but there are several that do. It will cost you quite a bit, but the return on having a top notch commissioned sales rep will cover that very rapidly

Is Java still the go-to language if you want to work in a large software company?

I think the question is wrong. It should be Is Java the to Go-To for Large Enterprises, not large software companies.Internal software development at Enterprise and Government levels tend to use Java/J2EE more than anyone else. Thus collectively making Java so popular and in demand. The next question is why? . Well. honestly there wasn't any competition when J2EE hit the market. Java itself was slow and unstable, but it allowed for larger groups of developers to work pieces of an application at the same time thus making time to market 1000% better. .NET was 'trying" but required an even slower and more expensive Microsoft stack. Larger companies did not have Microsoft networks and servers thus not really making it an option.Now with the revolution of Javascript. Java is being replaced with JS based frameworks and a lot of that 20-year old Java stronghold is coming down. Add Python and you have a 1-2 punch right to the heart. Even mid-size companies are letting go of their .NET infrastructure for JS based solutions. Microsoft with their Azure cloud allows for people to use whatever they want and do not force . net solutions. PHP was the Go-To for many small/micro companies because of the low cost of entry and low overhead. Even for Indie developers you could setup development servers on your personal or spare computer and develop full applications. JS makes that even cheaper (Based on Setup time and portability). The speed gains from Frontend JS Frameworks like VueJS , Angular and React makes applications work 10x faster AND more fun to code.I think it would be safe to conclude that javascript is now the official Go-To language for Software Companies , Enterprise Companies, Small Companies, Startups, and Indies. Java, .NET and PHP are now officially in legacy mode. Is Java still the go-to language if you want to work in a large software company?
