Are people still getting paid five figures for web development? Was through upwork?

Yes of course. You can get paid anything from $5 to $1000 per hour depending on how good/lucky you are at sales and connections. Not through upwork. My current contract is a full time for over a year now so five figures is expected per month

Is there any book or training to learn those skills? Btw, how I can use sales on my daily work basis as a software engineer? Thanks!
