Hmmm...ok, thanks.

If you need a good resource, I'll recommend sololearn website or app as you get to see comments and questions from other learners, and also track your progress / return to previous topics etc.

dgee1:
Thanks so much. I will check the website out. The whole thing could be frustrating at times, but will keep trying. Thanks once again.

Oya repeat after me.
Oh Lord my father, rewrite my story.


Bankers don't earn that much sef, you only earn that much as an IT personnel, consultant or maybe a business developer..my friend who's just 23 earns 1.3million and still has remote jobs.he's already a senior developer at that age.

mamatwiny:


Go and get a good It skill and you will never be out of job. Cyber security is in demand all over the world, full stack developers, ai etc.

My 2 cents.

For all those who are asking for names of such companies that pay that much, I will suggest that you start by learning the required skills and making them available on freelancing platforms like fiverr and freelancer. When you have built your skills level and built a portfolio, you can upgrade by joining upwork and optimizing your Linkedin account, then you can one day laugh at those who argue that it is not possible to earn $2,000 (700k) in Nigeria.

To reach that level, go on those platforms (click here for) fiverr and focus on the tech sections. If you are not good in programming, you can start by learning how to configure different applications like CRM, Email marketing platforms with their automation e.g Mailchimp, insightly, sendblue etc, Automation platforms like Zapier and many other things you can do on these freelancing platforms. Use them as a springboard and leave politics sections argument for 3 months and you will begin to see the difference in your life. You will need to download a lot of tutorials and watch tons of Youtube videos and fail on many jobs before you begin to get a traction. Do not think any foreign employer will just give you $2000 just like that, you will have to work hard to learn the required skills, make mistakes, learn from them and become proficient.

You will need to be patient. Give yourself up to one year or even 18 months. Yes, I said so. It can take that long or even longer to make a headway, funny enough once it starts, you will look back and wonder why you ever contemplated crime.

Finally, if you do not have the mind for coding and programming, start with digital marketing skills and begin to narrow down to specific digital marketing niches that fits your personality and skill level.

I do hope I am speaking to someone today.

wow, how did he do it ?

mayor10:



Started working while in school sonthe experience counted. He already has 4years+ by the time he finished from University

Share your experience with us if you have ever been fired. It would be better if we can share:

1. Why we were fired?
2. How did the firing process happen?
3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

So, I’ll start:

Sometimes last year, I got an unbelievable offer (well above #750k) at a remote company. I bought a PC, subscribed for large data and set-up a workspace. On Monday which was resumption day, I turned on my PC, logged in and started the online meeting… everything went well for the first day and I got introduced to my colleagues. My friend and I actually got employed for same position, so we usually chatted while working. To be onboarded, we had to install a productivity monitoring tool on our PCs, we were told everything we did on the PC would be captured if the tool was turned ON but I really don’t know why I cared less.

On Wednesday same week, we had a short and simple test, during the test, I asked my friend for an answer as I wasn’t so sure, he responded and that was it.

On Thursday, I had a quick one-on-one call with my manager, I was fired. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance while taking the test. I apologized but the answer was a straight NO (you sabi how oyinbo people strict). So in other words, I was sacked because I cheated ☹.

Well, they paid me for the few days I worked �

I have experienced other sad situations, but this has to be the worst. I was so depressed, the following Sunday, I went to Church and it was while Pastor asked us to greet our neighbor, I remembered I didn’t brush… LMAO.

Now, I got something with abit lesser pay but still very chilled

Since I graduated over 8years ago I've only worked in a formal organization for 3weeks,I fired myself when my female boss started sending me silly errands like I was her boy boy,the painful part was that we were age mates, the pay was just 230k monthly,luckily for me they pay on the third week,I texted her as soon as I got alert,the text read ''SARAH WE'RE DONE".
Since then I've ventured into different businesses, now I am my own boss.
