kpolli: Exactly, my first thought was that i should be looking at $5,000 since i am working a backend engineer but i found out that their members are just 7 so i decided to use this to earn more experience.. |

[quote author=vaspire post=91442982][/quote] Let me break it down to you. The average salary of a software engineer in Nigeria is about 200K while in US , it is about $5,000 which is X5 of what a average nigeria software engineer earns. Before i got the job, i was sure that i should be earning about $2K - $4K but i wasn't able to get that amount instead got $500 which was very disappointing. Later i cam to realize that it is a new company and they are still recruiting members and also gathering funds to build the company and the product. But i was assured that i will be getting a raise in the few weeks to come. Believe it or not. I just came to share my experience nothing more.. Have a good day... 5 Likes 1 Share |

TheManOfTheYear: Thanks for the tip. We had a chat and i explained things to him about my salary and other stuffs, luckily enough he is the fun type of boss. So he agreed with my terms and i will be paid at a much higher price but not at the moment, but in the next few weeks. |

Sprumbaba: Exactly, well said... Seeing that the company is under development, i didn't want to put the burden of my salary on them so i had a chat with the founder and we discussed about increasing my payment. After few minutes of convincing him, he agreed on increasing it but in the next few weeks. |

ERORR404: Funny enough, i am in SS3. No computer science degree but i do have lot of certificates . Well, in the web development world,they usually refer to graphic designers as UI designers. My best advice to you is to pick up UI/UX Design to help you have a higher chance of getting a good well paying job. 2 Likes |

thenaijacoder:Forget that "feeling stupid" thing, you have remote experience now good for your resume and learn how to negotiate better next time. Find out cost of living in the city where your remote company is based and average developer jobs around there. I lived in California for 3months+ I survived on $1k per month anything less is just suffering. 4 Likes 1 Share |

thenaijacoder:nah I'm in lagos. I was supposed to leave last march before corona changed everything. Just so you know the 1k doesn't include rent oo. The bay area is mad expensive ( San Francisco) |

Re: Share Your Remote Job Experience As A Developer by Guest911: 4:37am On Jul 07, 2020 |
thenaijacoder:well California is massive tbh, I stayed in Palo Alto (rich white people, the only thing cheap is food). Then San Francisco, then Oakland (lots of blacks. I felt a lot better and very affordable too). I was supposed to visit LA, but my money was about to finish. |
Re: Share Your Remote Job Experience As A Developer by thenaijacoder(m): 4:40am On Jul 07, 2020 |
Guest911: I understand that feeling. Palo Alta is a big place and most of my friends stay there but i think it is usually contains Asian-Americans right?? What place would you recommend that is cheaper and affordable to get an apartment which are close to California. 1 Like |
Re: Share Your Remote Job Experience As A Developer by Guest911: 4:50am On Jul 07, 2020 |
thenaijacoder:it depends on location, next time I would stay in Oakland fully and take the Caltrain or Bart to Palo Alto and save money on rent. Although there are some ghetto part of Oakland not too safe but you go dey alright, they mostly steal Amazon packages. Actually you will see lots of Latinos in California |
