eph12: Start up coy's coding needs a so limited, infact most start ups would rather go for ERP Software Packages on shelf, than waste money on programming, and if they need a more tailored software they get a freelancer that they don't have to hire on long term bases The C.S guys work in teams at the IT department, the work on hotel networking, take care of finger print tag in systems, maintain all PC and software from MDs office, HR and Accounting, they even fix common software issues for front desk cashier's And the major major job is keeping the website working, updating price changes and other social media campaigns Now tell me if as an HR if you would hire a programmer for all this? 1 Like |

It's an over saturated niche. If you have freelance jobs and work for companies abroad remotely, it pays. But if you are here in Nigeria, the pay is quite low depending on your experience and also compared to your foreign counterparts. Every tom, dick and Harry now wasn't to become a programmer because it sounds somewhat 'cool'. Everyone cannot be a programmer, it's mentally tasking and rewarding at the end. If your brain no fit carry am, you can try out digital marketing, UI / UX design, Graphics Design, Videography. Cheers. 1 Like |

tensazangetsu20: I am a chartered accountant, I don't bother about practicing as it becomes monotonous after a while. Neither do I harbor grandiose thoughts of working for the big 3 accounting firms. I have a niche and that pays my bills and keeps my family happy - I've never wanted too much from this life! 6 Likes |

LordPherule:You response is the closest to the answer. Perhaps, the thread isn't clear enough. What I really want to know is: If a programmer is working in an organization that depends on getting projects from clients like other companies or individuals, what is the fate of Programmers working in such an organization if the company does not have projects to work on for maybe 3 or 4 months? |

techmo:A reasonable organization will have those in charge of networking, and those in charge of software development. Then an IT guru in charge of designing the system who is also part of the management or reports directly to the boss. Only a handful of guys should be involved in that. The others are just there to implement what somebody else has designed. This brings real efficiency. If your hotel company wants the same person to be a software developer, handle networking and installations, good luck with them. They will lose their staff to some other reasonable companies soon. For example banks hire programmers. Would you like to tell their HR how to do their job? 1 Like |

dannybrasky: My brother, it wasn't easy. Fresh out of NYSC (squandered all the allawee), struggling with professional exams, courses on taxation, supply chain management and general program management. Those 6 months roaming around Diplomatic Drive in Abuja weren't fun. No money, struggling to pay my rent in Jahi as my Dad felt I should return home and sit in, while he works his contacts for those type of job placement promises that take 10 years for fulfillment. The people I met around that vicinity shaped my outlook on life, I realized wealth was not made just transferred - you just need to know where to look! 4 Likes |

eph12: Banks don't hire Programmer the use on shelf banking software called Finacle Banks Hire C.S all rounder for its IT needs and contracts whatever other things they need out That's efficient And the hotel I talked about is a 5 star hotel owned by a Dubai Shield, I have seen IT structure in many other top organisation If Programmers get hired so much then they wouldn't be more programmers freelancing and owning their own cormercial software than the C.S guys working in almost all sectors 2 Likes |

Harnny:I'm shocked to hear that a programmer earns 50k salary. I highly doubt the story and if true, then he must be a website designer or website manager. 50k that programmers make from freelancing a single project in a matter of days. If the story is true, then we all know why he hasn't gotten a good job as he must be a knuckle head. |

eph12:Getting jobs on Upwork is also the same as offline. If you want a good job at a tech company. You have to be ready to send out over 100 applications. A lot of people send out over 200 applications, do like 60 interviews to land just one job. It's the same on Upwork. The only downside is you need money for connects. It's why I always advise new freelancers to have money to get those connects. Once you get your first five clients and do good work you won't have to be applying for jobs constantly. The great thing about the IT field is the jobs exist. If you want to apply to 100 jobs today you can do it and there's so much variety to choose from. In some fields, there are no jobs. The jobs don't even exist. Try looking for a job in chemical engineering or petrochemical engineering and this are courses most Nigerians are dying to get into. 3 Likes |

Eddee: 90% of very wealthy and very very successful people I have come across and was opportune to speak to about how they turned out to be successful in life be it business wise,politically, top post in offices,tend to have a helping hand ( connect). Either by father,mother, family,godther,godmother,boss or a good samaritan. To those few fractions of the very wealthy ones who beat their chest to say they did it on their own,i doff my hat.

sholarr12:Read what thread? That a programmer earns 50k as monthly salary? What kind of programmer is that? 50k is approximately $120 and any programmer can easily picket that from freelancing in just days. Just maybe, you're the programmer...I'm sorry, you're a knuckle head and a shame to programmers. |
