Damn tech is so crazy. Even I get shocked of the kind of things I see everyday. Some survey was done on the salaries of Blockchain developers and the least salary came in at 650 USD a month and the highest came in at 30k USD a month.

I thought the 30k USD a month figure was just a lie until someone posted his total compensation in a data structures group I am a member of on Facebook. It came down to 33k USD a month and this person lives in Nigeria. Dropped out of futa after 2 years like has no degree and has been able to achieve this whereas someone with PhD Is teaching for 30k naira a month.

Life no balance o. God, tech is just one crazy field. Its why we should remain humble o cause no matter how big you think you are a ton of people are bigger.

Care to share name of the Data Structures group, please?

Data structures and algorithms for black software engineers.

Chief this path is really crazy, the more you look, less you see

Must be Blockchain

So you're saying a university drop out is earning #230million+ in a year while ASUU is playing with the future of our tomorrow leaders that want to pursue the path if secular education to the latter.

Omorr life no really balance

I saw the post too

JoyousFurnitire:

not necessarily blockchain, big tech companies in the US pay around that range with stock options too.

Man, this is crazy.
Op won't you consider a career in block chain?

Honestly I don't even care. All the companies do now is send you data structures and algorithms tests regardless of what role you apply for so considering a career doesn't mean you will make it. My own goals is getting good at data structures first before anything else.

Guy 19.6 million a month and he's in Nigeria. How does even live. Guy I can't even imagine how I will spend such. His monthly salary is an elite person's yearly salary in Nigeria. What he earns per month.

I saw the post too and the guy is a college dropout

I really hate saying this but school appears to be a very big scam especially in this shithole country.

He'll probably invest in a startup lol

somebody said if you need a college degree for it (a job or a business venture) it is not going to make you wealthy, this is debatable though. I can only imagine the kind of softwares they are building at those companies, Nigerian employers will pay you less than $1k a month to build heaven and earth.

Maybe I should take a year break from work and focus on leetecoding.. when I see the amount of money those guys earn; some with minimal experience,fresh from boot camps, it strengthens my resolve to take that one year break.

If you are working a programming job don't take a year. Just do leetcode after work. Forget learning any new framework or tool cause some companies have this pair programing sections after leetcode rounds and your programming day job experience will help you there.

Leetcode is crazy. I just paid for premium I am not even good at it and I was able to get to the final stages of a startups interview in Germany. I got 100 percent in both of the Algo rounds. All the questions I got asked were on leetcode. I failed the behavioral final interview but even passing the Algo interview was a huge deal to me cause as of last year I won't even attempt it. Leetcode is the only way for a software engineer to defeat poverty in his generation forever.

what are the perks of paying for premium? Will you pick leetcode over Algo expert?

Funniest is that there'll be devs earning more than that (in this country).

Leetcode hands down. Algo expert is rubbish. Very few test cases to even understand the problem at hand. A rubbish ide completely useless for debugging and you can't see other solutions aside Algo experts own. Also, all of Algo experts questions were copied word for word from leetcode. Leetcode is community focused. Each question can have over 100 solutions. Things that you won't even expert. Also on leetcode you can filter questions by company. Like if I have an interview with Facebook I can go on leetcode and start solving Facebook past questions.

Leetcode hands down especially if you are actively interviewing.

Leetcode questions are also very similar to what you will be seeing on codility and hackkerank screens.

How do you understand those DSA concept(breath first search, graphs, time complexity etc). Those concept are alien to devs starting their DSA journey. Before solving the questions on leetcode, you need a thorough understanding of those concept, does leetcode premium provide explanations of those concepts with examples?

So for the theoretical concepts I read grokking algorithms and then there's a very nice guy on YouTube that does very good explanations. His name is Dinesh viryani. I used his videos to understand the basic data structures, how to create them, manipulate them. where they are used and all and once I was satisfied I started to use Algo expert. I was using Algo expert until I was sure I wanted to start interviewing then I switched over to leetcode and started applying to jobs.

You haven't seen anything yet. Go to a forum called Blind and you'll see TC (Total compensation) of 500 thousand dollars a year.

Tensa, please don't say this! You are a very big influencer here (alongside a few other reliable monikers here). While I agree that school is not a guarantee to succeed, it at the worst case minimises failure. Look at all the big names that dropped out of school: Bill Gates, Oga Mark Nsukkabread, the Google guys. They all made it big primarily because they were way more intelligent than what school could offer. But for every Mark Zuck there are probably a few tens of hundreds others that dropped out that didn't make it. A few millions that stayed in school that at least are earning a decent living. More decent than those that dropped out and didn't make it. You have to have a very high level of intelligence to succeed without some formal education. Let's encourage people to attend schools whether that is Uni or Tech training schools. That way more people are likely to earn a decent living. For every Ronaldo or Messi there are loads of failed footballers. School may not be the ticket to billions but it sure minimises your chances of living in penury.

Meanwhile 33k USD a month is mental! It's mad mad. That's $206/hr! Med!

I remember when I got hired by a Nigerian business earning the dollar equivalent of USD60k/Annum at the time. I was floating in the sky like who smoke loud mixed with coc@ine.... If I'm earning USD400k/annum the shock go hospitalise me. I will be shocktalized for months.

Una sure say I no go pick up programming intensely for 9 months like this so. Brutalise myself until the end of the year and 2023 be a new beast
