Obasempiree:I think Programming is central to Life since everything is in Codes behind the Mega structures. Oyinbo must not tell us everything Finish ..... Understanding Programming is like Understanding Life/Earth itself and the Operability of everything therein, You can create anything you conceive and give them Life if the mechanics are right and get paid hugely once Society see your creativity as necessity. 1 Like |

MindHacker9000:I'm in Accounting too but Do You still do Accounting or that's a forgotten Career ? How did Accounting helped in shaping your programming or No help at all ? |

DonroxyII: Good question. The transition has been wonderful as it has helped me a lot. 1. I got my first programming job in a big accounting firm a few months after completing my uni in programming and the manager told me he saw on my CV that I was into accounting before and they needed to use my accounting background for a complex integration between two of their accounting applications. 2. Having an accounting background before going to study programming has been very useful for me, as only knowing programming most likely means someone will have to always work for someone or look for work as they would need someone else to tell them what their business needs are so that they can program it for the organisation and while the business makes continuous millions or even billions the programer get little from all his hard work. 3. My accounting background before going into programming has helped my to setup my own online platform used by big accounting firms and they love it some much that they are asking me to add more functionalities for them to use, this is due to the fact that I understood what will make the life of accountants in practice easy as a result of my accounting background. 2 Likes |

DonroxyII:Well accounting works on principles that make things work, programming is basically dsame whatever isn't right in the process wouldn't produce the desired output so that has helped me in a way. I tried to apply in accounting position once but they informed me I look more like a full transitioned tech guy than an accountant actually . I focus on programming full time now maybe I could build an accounting software sometime in the future no knowledge is lost. 2 Likes |

Re: What Attracted You To Learn how to code? by Chloraseptic: 6:18pm On Feb 14, 2022 |
JoyousFurnitire: Which would you advise me to dive into as an intending immigrant |
Re: What Attracted You To Learn how to code? by JoyousFurnitire(m): 6:38pm On Feb 14, 2022 |
Chloraseptic: Do your research. There're other non-coding roles too. Just do your research. You can open a thread for more advice from bosses on here (after your research). |

DonroxyII: On God you Move. My programming stack is C#, .net, web and SQL server. I was doing some programming before going to uni which really helped to speed up my career. I would suggest going for cyber security as there is high demand in developed countries for this and you can combine it with Forensic Accounting. 1 Like |

I work in Lagos but I was just told by the company I work for to transfer to Enugu. I just payed my rent 2 weeks ago and get the news of the transfer today. The house is a self contained apartment(toilet, bathroom and kitchen ensuite)at Onipanu just after Palmgrove. I need someone who is interested in the apartment to let me know. Pay me the difference and I move. I'll also introduce you to my landlord. 1 Like |

Me, I have always been the curious type, and I have wondered what causes computers to operate the way they do, so when I picked up a book that shows how assembly language is created, I knew then that I have a new career to pursue, and ever since, I have been relentless, till I got what I want. 1 Like |

Okay back in the days i started learning coding out of curiosity and i started with Visual basic(VB) ....but I had to pause . After some years i went in fully as a software engineer and that curiosity kept me going. It takes more than passion to continue in coding, especially when the whole thing doesn't make sense and the expected result is not coming, plus debugging is more than enough to knock you out. Commitment and disciple for my career pursuit kept me moving...So aside interest and the trend to be tech savvy.....you need more than these to push yourself. And if you dont have the right network of people, you easily get discouraged. 4 Likes |

For me coding is like a chore. The real excitement is the idea/system one is trying to build and if that isn't there, it(coding) feels like just another menial task. Of course, since I do a lot of coding for payment, I've had to modify this attitude a bit and in most cases I use the expected payment to work up the needed excitement. 1 Like |
