I know a programmer who was employed in an organization that owed two month salary, even up till the third month, despite the fact that the salary was not even up to #50, 000.

That same person resigned and after some months got a better paying programming job but the company has not even resumed yet because of coronavirus and the company has not been paying, that is not even the problem since the company has not yet resumed.

The surprising thing is the company has not received any project that their programmer employees can work on despite the fact that the employees have their personal company laptops.

My question is this, is the work of a programmer unstable?

Keep the answers coming. Am here to be learn

If you are really good at the language or know your work very well it's stable, i can even say it's over stable sef, i have a friend who is doing two programming jobs together freelancing, before Coronavirus pandemic even with world wide lock downs and closure he is still working and getting paid almost 2M per month and some companies in lekki are begging him to work for them for pay of almost 600k per month. So it boils down to how good you are, if you really good at it you will never lack good paying jobs except there isn't anything as technology again

he knows his onions... Good day, is it possible that i can speak with this friend of yours please? Thank you.

No.sir

50k a month . How do people accept such salaries for mentally taxing jobs? Seriously. How? When there's so many options today. Freelancing, remote work name it.

It's is not stable unless he is employed in an organization

Nothing is stable in this Nigeria....

Come to think of it, nothing is stable in life sef.

Nooo, they are not!

Some areas and experience levels may differ,
or maybe just his current experience level is the 'ish.
But CS unemployment is half that of unemployment for all jobs.
In short, programming jobs are not unstable,
they are high in demand.
Overall, it's a competitive market for sure,
and it's certainly isn't going to become any easier.
It's still very possible to shape a successful,
An enjoyable career in the web development industry.
It just may take slightly more time and input than it did before.

All the very best in his career.

Depends on your language and your proficiency.

freelancing is the way................. the foreigners will value your skill more

Freelancing is far better

It seems today is world Programmers day..

Even doctors that save lives, sometimes go for months without being engaged.
IT is a very tricky field. From the outside, it might look like heaven, but in the inside... It is tougher than it looked.

It’s over stable

Is there anything stable on Nigeria soil, even the country isn't.

Well, I personally work as a freelancer on fiverr and seoclerks.

The thing is, if you are good, most people who give you project will come back with more.

Just that for some time now, I have stopped accepting projects (including from returning customers) because the pay is not really encouraging.

I currently stay in Akure but I'm hoping to move to Lagos or Abuja soon sha.

See, what a programmer can offer are far limited and most firms prefer a C.S guy

A tech firm needs a programmer that can write complex algorithm, design flawless software architecture, debug and upgrade, document softwares and still work as an IT support staff for both the company and the clients


To succeed as a programmer depends on your marketing skills, your independence to freelance, and ability to build your own cormercial software

.

It depends on the company & how good u are

This is covid era every job is now unstable

Are you quoting from experience

I don't want to dabble into your rubble rambling... I don't celebrate any government to constructs roads and schools because it their primary responsibility. I celebrate human capital development. Let me tell you my story. It is in obaseki's time as a governor that I have experience direct investment of a state on his citizens.. When he instuted the edo innovation hub, a lot of persons were skeptical about it functions including myself, but the governor understood that investing in the youth is investing in the future.. A lot of cooperate bodies and international cooperations partnered with him including GIZ, MICROSOFT, IBM, SLOT, etc. He created a skill aquision agency under EDOJOBS to professionally train edo youths.. First I applied for laptop and GSM repairs and I was chosen to be trained by SLOT.. We were grinded for six months and given start up kits. I can remember that we even had a life coaching and an entrepreneurship lecture by the owner of slot himself. After the training, many of colleagues started their own shops while I decided to work for slot. Another program came up again( A lot of training goes on every day for free at the HUB and at the edo production center paid for by the government and its partners.. Some are even fed twice daily and given stipends for transportation), this time the government partnered with GIZ( A RENOWNED GERMAN COMPANY ON RENEWABLE ENERGY),PEND, FUPRE, AND SHELL COOPERATION. I applied and I was trained professionally on solar energy Free of charge.. We eat twice a day, we had our field work at FUPRE effurun warri because of all the universities in Nigeria, the have the largest solar farm. FUPRE generates 70% of its energy consumption from solar, you can ask.. After which I was given a professional certificate that was certified by all these international cooperations including FUPRE locally.. I would have spent hundreds of thousands if not millions but a governor did it for me free of charge and you say obaseki doesn't deserve a second term.. The programs are still on, it's doesn't discriminate provided you are a resident of edo.. I am Victor Ugochukwu and I am not ashamed of my governor.. OBASEKI FOR SECOND TERM

Competency and the right network influences stability.

Are you looking for books to read but you're restricted because paperbacks are hard to get?

What if you can have unrestricted access to pdf books, are you still ready to gain more knowledge?

There's a way to get these books and it won't cost you much.

There's also a catalogue of selected Best Sellers, and interesting books on almost all walks of life. You don't need to stress yourself.

He should venture into freelancing, he would be earning more....

Not sure I have ever seen a developer earning less than 100k. My organization pays at least 120 even for interns. We scarce man....especially the really good ones. One of my colleague earns 600k and he does nothing. He has been earning that for over 3 years. Not to even mention the side projects...for those who knows the code name...PP

At 50k a month, he's definitely just starting. I think programmers change jobs more than any other career
