Payoneer pays directly to naira account but the rate is ₦400 as at yesterday when I withdrew. You can get better rates from exchangers na just the scammer be the problems.

To filter out unserious freelancers as 6 connects is a lot, so anyone willing to spend that much knows what he or she is doing and know they're worth it.

Chai, when exchangers can give you as high as #520 per dollar. Once I withdraw up to $1000 with my Payoneer account, and that method has been activated, I'm never withdrawing to bank account again.

Yeah Payoneer can pay to your Naira account, but the rate is very poor. 410 as against 540

No, it depends on the job budget, timeline and category. those 3 factors are the determinant of how many connects the job will cost you

I don talk tire but people no dey hear word. Once you have learnt the basics find a niche. General software development doesnt pay except you are willing to go deep into two and start practicing all the data structures and super algorithms.

I am a jamstack Developer presently and have a full time job but I got a 1000 USD contract from upwork this past month for that jamstack. My own senior developer at work also gives me gigs outside work which he pays me daily for.

My own now na even to learn Salesforce because if I can get certified I can be earning as much as 2 million naira a month if I stay in Nigeria and target remote but I don't want to stay here.

What are your thoughts regarding this niche of a thing particularly for someone that wants to break into DevOps? And how favorable do you think the freelance will be to such a person?

Qtguru, Codedboy95, Stanliwise your opinions are also needed

if you must work and survive in the professional coding world then you need to define a niche for yourself. No serious product designer would look at you when you start mentioning I know this and that without quality knowledge or portfolio. Everyone is looking for who can deliver so it is better you present your niche and get employed. For me there are no such things as fullstack developer in the right sense of things, you can either be working as a frontend dev or a backend dev but you shouldn’t be the two at same time. Anytime you’re the two at same time then it means the project you’re working on ain’t a serious project. If it is you would only stick with the one you know best

For those programmer who want to start earning very fast, niching is the way out, else you can spend a lot of time before getting anything done and for the moment just one dev does not stand a chance to build sophisticated software that are needed by software developers now.
