Am a programmer in lagos with 4 years working experience. I earn a monthly salary of 190,000 and am well skilled in C#. My questions to others is this: Are programmers earning the same or higher? Am I supposed to earn higher based on my experience and skills? Which companies offer more pay? I really need your candid advise to help me make a better decision. Thanks in advance. |

ejioforstephen:wow !! that's a whole lot of money if you ask me . I'm still not certain about the average salary of a developer in Nigeria . But 190k is not bad at all . |

190k is not bad sha, but it all depends on the company you are working for, how much they make, and how good and important you are to them. I have seen people with less than your experience that are earning far above 190k as software developers in some companies. Also you also have to diversify too, like you know, csharp, you know java, and some web technologies lyk JavaScript mvc frameworks. But most software companies in Nigeria tends to underpay software developers especially if they have low incomes or are startups. I have seen job adverts where they pay developers less than 120k. To me its incredibly poor.my advice to you is to get seriously good at what you do and be able to compete with developers outside the country, so that you have more opportunities. Because Nigeria companies prefare to pay foreigners that might even be half as good as you 5times your salary. |
