This is mostly only possible if you live with your parents and you work a remote/hybrid job. How can you feed, spend on transportation plus extra miscellaneous expenses and still not spend up to 100k a month?
How much you’re paid has very little to do with your 'skills'.
It may be difficult to understand it, but companies are in tiers, and within each tier there is a market rate for talent.
You can earn more as a mid level engineer at a tier 1 company than a senior or staff engineer at a tier 3 company.
The whole frontend vs backend thing is, in my opinion, jejune.
The skill set required to get into tech are very different from what is required to get high paying jobs, grow in your career and maybe become a principal engineer or CTO someday.
This requires strategic career planning.
How well you write code, design systems, manage stakeholders and projects, etc, contribute very little to the outcome. There are specific decisions you need to make at certain stages of your career, some moves that only pays off in the long run, etc.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? How do your daily routine contribute to achieving that plan? Which domain do you want to focus on and which companies are you interested in working for? It’s easy to base everything on money and get excited when recruiters reach out to you. But what about your plan?
What you get paid is directly proportional to the perceived value you provide, not the effort you put into your work.
I'm calm, very calm 😮💨 @Chowdeck.
I’ve spent close to ₦20,000 extra on delivery fees just because I forgot to switch between my home and work address. That’s not a small mistake, and it’s something your app can easily help prevent.
I don’t want to believe you're doing intentionally to make more profit from your poor customers
This is a basic UX issue.
If someone is placing an order and the delivery address is far from their current location, your app should prompt and ask if they want to continue with that address.
Especially since I’ve already given location access, you can clearly detect this.
This would save users from unnecessary costs and build more trust in your product.
The things that make people say they prefer the UK (healthcare, high mandated employee protections) also lead to the things they end up complaining about (higher tax burden on companies & making it difficult to fire, makes them not want to employ in the first place. Less hiring = lower wage competition)
When you don use one hour fight final boss, defeat am & NEPA take light before you save, you go understand why Nigeria no fit get big Gaming Industry.
My Journey So Far 😩🔥
I started tech in January 2022… not knowing how far it would take me.
Since then:
- Mastered 13+ programming languages 🤫
- Landed my first tech job at 18 (Fintech)
- Made my first $1k at 19 (Freelancing)
- Launched my startup at 20 — https://t.co/rwUurxIPWE 🚀
- Now working with 2 fintech companies
you never know how life will take you until you start 💜
Above all, I’m grateful to God for how far I’ve come 🙏🏻🔥
This is just the beginning.
Only one person .Net Core, python, java and node .js for 600k gross🤣🤣🤣🤣. The next thing we would here is "Nigeria doesn't have competent engineers any more".
Unless the tech side of that business is making a lot of money you're just basically a support staff and when there's difficulty you're one of the first people to lose their jobs.
@bigbrutha_@toyinvoldo@TheOAPod I think archer only focuses on fraud. It's start-ups that offer all of them in one platform that would eat good. Imagine KYC KYB checks, Fraud detection and transaction monitoring, compliance checks being provided by one company.
I think the least a junior software engineer should earn in Lagos is 400k net (if remote or hybrid) and closer to 500k if it's full time. But considering the economic situation of the country, this is "a very well paid junior".
