I keep saying it. It's not the course or whatever hype people give to the skill under your possession. What matters is hw much quality info you have access to, and whether or not you are still an action taker. And finally, knowing where your markets are and how to sell your skills before the potential clients. These matter a lot. No skill is bad. And ofcourse some skills are better than others. But my submission ealier is what matters the most. If you can identify your market and know how to sell your skills, you can become a billionaire selling ordinary pins. Imagine someone opening a thread of this nature about Programming, a skill that's one of the most sought after in the world as at right now. Smh 10 Likes |

tensazangetsu20:Working for a company does not stop freelancing. And it's not that simple to earn good money as a new freelancer, not to talk of a remote job |

eph12: Step into the real world and see, most firms don't need coding of project always, except for the likes of NASA, Google , Facebook etc Most firms need an all-round IT guy For instance a 5 star hotel (grand Excelsior/ Holliday Inn) Abu Shagara Sharjah in UAE offered a job for a MIS ERP design and implementation project that lasted less than 6 months and upon project completion the HR made it clear what their new IT needs are, and only offered Full Employment for few C.S guys why booting out the Indian coders 2 Likes |

eph12:Maybe maybe not. For freelancing, you have to be tenacious. Freelancing works especially on Upwork. As for remote jobs it's just like any other job. Continuous application and scaling and passing the interviews which most times aren't easy. Coding interviews are one of the hardest things on earth. I honestly can't work for 50k not in Lagos. It's not even enough for transport talk less of taking care of my problems. How do you even pay for courses to continuously develop yourself. Not worth it and I am sure it's your laptop you would be using to do the work sef. 1 Like |

Re: Is A Programmer's Job Unstable? by benebaby77: 8:10am On Jun 28, 2020 |
eph12: Yes, I agree with that. It's possible that the guy is just starting out. As a first-timer freelancer, having a portfolio to show to one's clients increases their confidence in one... |
Re: Is A Programmer's Job Unstable? by eph12(m): 8:13am On Jun 28, 2020 |
tensazangetsu20:Like I said, it takes a lot of scaled skillset and mental preparations to be successful at most of the remote jobs interviews. Someone just starting or someone that's currently earning 50k monthly tells me that he's not that ready yet. I'm on upwork so I know how it works. It's not that easy to get jobs unless you have trusted clients that keep using you 1 Like |

Eddee:Yeah you learn the programmer has learnt. He has at least grasped the basics of a programming language to get a job. And it's a fast moving field that calls for continuous learning and development. Those courses and data don't come cheap. Working for such amount isn't worth it. 1 Like |

Eddee:Honestly it isn't worth it working for free for any organisation. I come from a marine engineering background and my first job abroad was also a volunteer job. It makes no sense seeing how much certifications in that field cost plus there isn't any assurance of any job after getting them ![]() 1 Like |
