God bless the OP for this post. I have friends that frequent countries overseas due to thier skills.

I'm presently following the Data Science hierarchy, hoping to become a Database Engineer (a long way indeed, but I no get choice).

Now my question is, can a Database Engineer be regarded as a Software Developer?

Because it seems the demand and pay for software developers is higher than other fields. If not, I'd like to focus on Data Analytics/Science.

Thanks boss.

Before choosing a new skill, you may want to consider demand and passion.

As for demand, there is an abundance of data out there. What you're looking for is Year on year increase in demand for your chosen skill. Stackoverflow, Glassdor e.t.c report statistics like this.

If the demand for your skill set has been on a decline in the last 3 years (3 years is a pretty long time in tech), you should brace up for a challenging job search.

Band-wagonism is really strong in the tech industry. Suddenly, you'll realize everyone is screaming and howling about this new tech in town, usually, demand follows the trend.

Even the work visa is no more difficult to get like before. The standards have been greatly reduced for tech guys. Imagine people getting UK and Germany like say na garri them dey drink. I have ever seen Canada and Australia. This was unheard of like 10 years ago. Getting a work visa to a first world country from Nigeria. Who you be? I just wish I started coding earlier but nothing spoil

What is DevOps?
DevOps (Development Operations) is a combination of Software Development and IT Operations. In DevOps, Software Development and IT Operations are two separate entities that co-exist. DevOps focuses on bringing these together to improve communication and increase productivity in the organisation. This unique combination allows an organisation and IT department to continually deliver quality value in the face of continually changing requirements. The objectives of DevOps are to increase the ability to provide the product and improving reliability while reducing inefficiencies, as well as satisfying their customer by providing the best services. DevOps follows the simple process such as plan, develop, deliver and operate phases. Each phase depends on each other, and the phases are not role-specific.

Yes, I understand that. Roles within the Data Science circle are expected to increase exponentially within the next few years.

However, with all due respect, the main question hasn't been answered yet.

Can a Database Engineer be regarded as a Software Developer?

It doesn't matter if you're female or male, you can hit it big in tech.

First, you need to identify what area of tech you're interested in, do a Google search and choose.
Tech is wide, from web development, app development, data science, UI design, cyber security etc

Then seek for several free resources online and start learning. There are sites and there's YouTube where you can learn from.

Dedicate at least 3 hours daily to learn this, do it consistently for about 4 months, and apply for jobs (preferably remote).

The ball is in your court lady.
You can always come here to ask questions, join other tech communities online like Twitter, Reddit, Discord and so on.

Build your LinkedIn profile and connect with people in the same field.

Go to StackOverflow if you're stuck in anything.
Most importantly, build projects, that's how you really learn, don't be caught in the tutorial hell. As soon as you learn anything, build a project on it.

You've got this.

I've been researching lately about digital nomad visas and I've come across some countries

Portugal
Mexico
Estonia

Who has information about how to apply for any of the digital nomad visas?
