10 Ways To Get High Paid Job In Tech Companies, No 8 May Shock You by Tim1212(m): 1:27pm On Jul 05, 2020
Technology companies are always looking for experts or professionals to create softwares/programs that will be of benefit to the company.

Softwares that are capable of solving critical problems, to promote its services and to meet customers needs.

To get a job interview, you need to meet the following requirements.

1) Social media handle:
As a Junior developer or an expert in software industry, having a social media handle helps to build up profiles. Build a strong profile gives you more advantage in job interview.

You can setup LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook page where you will build followers, upload your skills and engage your audience with high quality content.

2) Portfolios:

Strong portfolios is an inevitable tools to secure a high paid job. Always upload your works for others to view.

Larry Tesla created a strong portfolios that gained him advantage in most giant tech companies in US. He created "copy and paste" program.

3) Freelancer duty:
I have always involve in freelance at a very low cost or no cost, just to show my skills or create Portfolio.

Create programs for clients for free will attract more clients in the future. But don't over do it.
Involve in contributing your skills to other developers in creating softwares or projects.

4) Teach or Develop others:

I train Junior developers, newbies and novices in programming. I sometimes train them for no cost or very low cost. Just to assist them become their best.

By so doing, you are building community and followers. Strong followers are your greatest asset in securing high quality job.

5) Create Free Softwares:

Most developers creates software and make it free for others to use or reuse.
Some could be Javascript libraries, CSS libraries etc..

This is the most valuable asset you can think of. You can create extensions, plugins or add-on. Make it free for download, you could increase in popularity.

6) Donate your skills for Free:

I donate my skills as a community service to assist business owners, startups and SMEs to grow.

I go as far to create softwares, do SEO and help them with professional advice for free.

Most clients don't have money to pay you for your services.
By so doing, some companies may decide to donate funds to you for a job well done.


7) Aquire Github, Codepen skills:

Having github and codepen account will help, when you intend to show your source code to clients.

Source code will give you more advantage in job interview.

cool Don't be after Money:

Most popular developers are not after money, but after popularity and influence.

Consider your value more than the money. Create frameworks, libraries, web technology and make it free.
Just to gain popularity and command influence in your industry.

9) Seek for Donation.

Most developers creates free softwares, host training for developers, create libraries for Free and seek for Donations.

Your skills cannot be quantified by monetary value. So seek for donations for some of your services.
You never can tell someone can pay you more than how much you charge for a job.

10) Operate from low cost.
Most developers in diaspora operate from their village/home. Living in a high cost environment may affect you getting paid clients. Internet have made business could run anywhere.

I will recommend you work from home. So you can handle clients with low pay.

This is rubbish. No mention of data structures and algorithms. How do you scale the interview tests. Big companies in Europe, America and the USA have a code test. Your portfolio gets you to that code tests but scaling the interviews requires knowledge in data structures and algorithms.

You will never get a job in a big tech company without knowing data structures and algorithms very well.

It's difficult to create efficient software without knowledge of data structures and algorithms especially if you are building something for millions of users. Its extremely impossible to scale badly written code. That's why big companies test for them.

I will personally donate NGN240, 000 a scholarship fund to 5 individual for 12 months, to learn software design, mobile application design, software architecture, UI/UX, OS design and web design @ diib Academy.

Also will pledge NGN 100 000 investment fund to 5 Startup, SMEs, for 6 months. To support small businesses to invest the funds in SEO and ICT through diib Nigeria.

The white people do this to support Startup, SMEs and small businesses to grow faster. Many Tech company's CEO in US donate funds to assist business owners. Some companies make their quality services free because of the pandemic, to protect their small businesses.

I will do the same in my country in my own capacity. I encourage others to do the same.

But the problem I am facing as regards programming is laptop.

Ever since I have been using my phone for programming, even though programming on phone comes with its limitations.

On a positive note I am utilizing this lockdown period to do menial jobs in order save up money and get a laptop of at least 4gb RAM inorder to freelance as an android developer.

Virtual design is the most important aspect of a website, softwares and mobile application, which makes HTML5/CSS3 a highly demanded skills in tech companies today.



HTML5/CSS3 alone can land you a high paid job in tech companies.

Focus more on UI/UX with HTML5/CSS3, you will always have clients to work for.



HTML5/CSS3 is the most important programming language in tech industry. So learn the basics, advance and become an expert in it.
Re: 10 Ways To Get High Paid Job In Tech Companies, No 8 May Shock You by Tim1212(m): 9:24am On Jul 11, 2020
Learning programming is not all about writing programs. It's more of research and development with creativity and innovation.

Learn the purpose behind concept. I would love to see Nigeria developers contributes to
Javascript foundation, HTML foundation and CSS foundation. Developing and designing HTML codes, CSS codes and Javascript codes.

That is when you will realise that HTML codes are programming language. When you come to the point of creating your own HTML tags.

You would be giving instructions to web browser rendering engine, it could be webkit, -ms- or -moz- rendering engine.

World Wide Web Consortium is waiting for our contribution, let's make Africa proud by contributing to the world with our creativity.



How many developers in Africa creates HTML tags, CSS properties and values, none. Why, because we don't make research and development. We depends on existing research, believing one concept and making unnecessary arguments.

I will guide you in this journey of research and development in Nigeria.

The probability of getting a job in a big tech company with an employee base of 10,000 is very very low...

Most company that employs remote worker are under 100 employees... So they just need someone good with logic, contribution skills and good unit testing kill set...

Just my lil contribution tho.
