If you can study and get enough lab hours and a certification then you can get remote jobs easily, even in naija jobs are becoming more available.
Where do you reside?

I'm an upcoming web developer, I'm currently learning the basics of web development (done with HTML almost through with CSS)

I'll appreciate if i can find a mentor that will guide me through this journey...

To all our senior web developer in here you can create a WhatsApp group for beginners like me,where we can ask questions whenever we lost in this journey

For learning management system, Moodle is THE defacto Solution. I also mess around with OLAT, Sakai, openEDX.

For Library Management there's Koha or Evergreen

Sadly that's true Data science gigs are not easy to come by, plus I have no knowledge on DS mostly Mobile and Servers

theForth:


Damn!! And I am far too deep into python.

Thanks all the same sir.

qtguru:


But your python skills you can get gigs for QA Testing Selenium if you don't mind branching into that on the side. But check LinkedIn for DS gigs and upworks, I can make a search and get back to you.

theForth:


This would be a long process for me to be honest, data scientists don't get gigs?

Sorry for the many questions.

qtguru:


I prefer TS over JS, but I can share resources in the slack, plus i assist people with their Upworks profile, the goal is having community of devs we can outsource our work to, soonce a gig comes, i can send to another dev add my money and we both get paid and move on. I don't believe in just me knowing alot of tech without sharing it with another. Outsourcing is the sweet spot, the issue is finding competent devs.

qtguru:


We are using OpenEDX at one of my jobs, you are right it us huge. I know nothing much about it other than the data I'm giving

inogft:

Where do one get foreign projects pls

PAAZZ:

We have some basic jobs, standard job and others can be really complex depending on what you can handle.

Kindly send a mail if you are interested and within Abuja.

Since qtguru couldn't respond to this, it's safe to assume that he is lying about earning 1.5m monthly.

McTobe:
Uyo. The online course I am presently running on my.ine has enough lab work. I have to switch hundred percent to using Ubuntu OS just to take all the challenges that comes with it.

QuoteJustOnce:


The probability of him, qtguru, lying is like 10% (for this particular case); not saying he doesn't lie. heck; everybody does at a point in time. However, like what someone said; what he probably needs is a financial manager or more stringent financial mgt rules. Because, yes you're spot on. Taking up a 150k job to "pay bills" is bizarre. Yes, extra money is sweet, but It should be for what is is: extra money; not a bill-payment fund.
I can relate too perfectly; cos I earn in the same range and even took a smaller project (100k ish) for a friend (not friends/relatives only) cos I just wanted him to pay something and not get it for free. I wouldn't give a stranger that price(it would hurt my reputation). Alas; the dude was starting to "behave like an employer and me; the employee with a salary of 100k). So I quick offered a refund instantly without blinking dropped the project; then charged him the real rate for the job 500k.
So you see, if I had taken it to "pay bills"; I would have probably spent it, and then refunding it would be hellish; but since it was just extra money in the pocket; I had no issues sending it back to where it came from.

Python programmer can declare a variable without declaring it's variable type

var x = 10;
var y = "Hello";

@Op
As a freelancer what to charge varies from customers, timeline, and project needs.

for Wordpress, Opencart, Magento, Silverstripe, Joomla and Drupal... I charge between $400 - $800


for Wix, Shopify. I charge between $750 - $1500

for Custom development: it's between $1,500 - $3,500

for custom server setup, VPS configuration, relay email server configuration: it's between $200 - $750


Depending on what you requirmemt is, the aforementioned prices are set to change ooo...

I've actually submitted a quote of $12,000 to a client. Problem was he was bidding for $4,000 as what he can afford. Well, the project is still pending until he gathers enough resources to fund it.

In rare cases, I've actually done a website as low as 40k... (you'll know how quick this will be)

The more money a client pays the more attention I pay to the project. That's called Value for Money.

But the client don't come everytime ooo, so what I do when I don't have any client is, I learn a new thing. You see... Still expanding my Horizon.


FYI: 99.9% of my clients are Nigerians

qtguru:


I stopped working with Nigerian Projects, the day I found myself shouting and cursing at the project owner. The lady just had an ego and hated Andela devs, I tried to tell her why the approach we were taking was wrong, this lady shut me down, until 3 weeks into development, the devs confirmed what I raised and it meant a rewrite and the lady said I should have convinced her properly. Omo I refunded their money and the sad part is it was 150k, then my salary was 10 times more, I just took it because I wanted to pay bills.

Foreign projects they listen to you and respect your opinions.

chubbyswit:
you are quite lucky to have Nigerian clients who pay well for your services if what you posted is true because most I have encountered don't.

tensazangetsu20:
For non company projects. I have charged like 300 USD for a simple JavaScript carousel which had like ten lines of code. I however charged someone in Nigeria like 800k to build a WordPress theme. Only 150k was paid and I kuku locked the site. They no send till today. That was the end for me and working for Nigerians.

Jerryog:
When it comes to matters of intellect you won't see any lady on this section, because they don't strive to make it.

I think clients these days are skeptical in handling out projects, because of the notion that they can get everything for free from the internet. Some of them would post jobs on upwork only waiting for a free ride.
