Yeah, it happens a lot. In fact the whole freelancing market is a scam, a mini max games. You get cheated a lot just to get paid.

* Planning to Sell

Shopify Themes and Apps for now then later Moodle since those are something I know how to do. Moodle you get good jobs because it is very rare for people to create themes, I can guarantee you that the moment you create one, you can sell to alot of people running Moodle. it is just complicated. I have one in works but Moodle Development is old PHP Code and very complex. so alot of research while coding.

Personally: I prefer Flutter but ReactNative is a good source of income if you have the skills, but for someone like me, I do not like it. I prefer Flutter

Why don't you like ReactNative?

Read the Airbnb React to Native article, I encountered the same issue when i tried to pick RN, I realized that using Native to render UI from JavaScript is slow especially when you are now dealing with Animation, then the level of abstraction is crazy that if a code broke, I would have no idea where to start from, Native or React code. But Flutter writes directly to pixel, meaning Flutter render any UI on any OS regardless, and with Flutter you have access to Skia, so you can do some crazy UI. To me, RN apps are nice but slow compared to Flutter/Native and Flutter is not bad also.

https://medium.com/reflectly-engineering/reflectly-from-react-native-to-flutter-2e3dffced2ea

Personally it makes no sense to write RN unless you want to cashout or take alot of jobs. Flutter is more easier to write and the speed is amazing

I don't know why Nigerians are so shameless , one of the reasons why we suffer is that we don't tell ourselves the truth.



to be honest I have worked remotely and it was not a full time job.

for a Nigerian company sha, all we did was facilitate online classes.

I was paid 20k per class, most times, I did up to 8 classes and I got paid.


I have tried working overseas as a web developer, seems as if they want a machine to work for them.


just in case you are trying to get a remote job, the pay is between $1500 to $ $3000 a month.

Do you want ojuu4u to call you an internet fraudster? cheesy

You better go and look for a physical work like bricklaying, learn work like mechanic or sell tomatoes in the market so that ojuu4u will not call you a fraudster.

As far as his limited mind is concerned, anything outside a physical business is internet fraud. grin

Very childish and stupid mindset. undecided

Please, from your experience, what can you tell me or what should I know or do to scale through this interview?

Also, how many other stages of this interview are waiting for me

Fiberone, 24/7 at 10Mbps , I have MTN as backup and Spectranet (expired) Internet is very fast for me.
9. Recommendations for those looking for Remote Jobs
LinkedIn, work on a small project and advertise on your github join a community. Study Algorithm and Data Structure, also build a small company and work on products, eventually someone will be intrested in your project if it has values. But for me coming up with Startup Ideas is hard for me, I only know how to come up with ideas for platforms or extending platforms and there is money there, but it takes alot of time to code.

Hello Boss good morning
I just got an interview invitation for a remote junior software developer role. Please, how do I prepare? What questions do they normally ask? What can I do to get this job? What are the do's and don'ts? Just help me with any tip on how to scale through this interview. .
Thanks

I don't know the company your are interviewing for. But if your company is a popular one, try to know more about it by reading about it on its website or on nairaland. Learn the basics of what a software developer does and your past achievements in the role before. Be ready to tell us (them) about yourself. Salary expectations will be asked. Then, any question at the end, from your readings about them, you can ask them. The issue about working from home is meeting your targets with the whole 24 hours rather than 8 am to 5pm kind of hours to work with. Electricity is another challenge. Personal distraction is another problem.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. About the salary expectation... That question is usually tricky. How much is "fair'? The last time an HR asked me this question, he never replied me again after I told him my salary expectation. Is $5k/month too much? I just want to get every information right. Thanks in anticipation

Just got my first remote job, I will be resuming on the 26th of this month... I am little bit nervous but I know I will fit in no time, though it's a new role in my career: Software Architect.

I have sent you a PM, I would like to connect with you.

5k for an entry role? LMAO wetin dey give una this kain mind

Forget all the fairytales you've heard here and on twitter. very very few people earn 5k monthly, even 3k monthly is a very very solid salary in 90% of the world and while you're try not to lowball yourself, you shouldn't go asking for an amount that make you sound ridiculous like you've never held a job before.

Realistically, 2k is a fair ask for an entry position depending on if its a company in a good country in the west, aside that, set your goals on 1k and 1.5k and work your way up with improving your skills and a resume.

My 2 cents
