Yeah you guessed right...
I currently occupy software architect and software engineer roles in my current jobs

If it's these role they pay u for, go for it. Substitutes dey scarce. No matter what nothing dey fit use u do. And to change job no hard.

It doesn't really matter the gender of the individual. What matters most is the area he/she is very good at. Which comes as a result of "deep self searching" (if I can use the phrase). But most ladies that I know are UI/UX designers and Frontend developers. Probably because these two areas requires little or no Logic/Arithmetics.
Generally, if you are naturally creative and good with graphics, I will suggest UI/UX design.
But you really need to do some facts finding and maybe try each area.
So these are the popular areas as long as web applications development is concerned:
1. UI/UX designer
2. Frontend developer
3. Backend developer
4. DevOps

There are others, but these are the popular areas any serious company must have imo.
I'm a Frontend/Backend developer with some DevOps skills as well because I can host apps on the cloud. I have basic knowledge of UI UX design but I am not good with graphics so I didn't go further.

Finally, I also train and mentor SERIOUS newbies at an affordable fee.

Want to go into Software and Application testing. Is it that lucrative in Nigeria?
Thank you.

Can u help me out

I'm also a software developer and I have two jobs which are both remote. Both companies are in Lagos while I am in Abuja trying to secure another one with a company in the USA through their Nigerian partner who are training us. Though one of the two companies are kinda shaking but I am still their employee.
Bottom line is for you to learn any IT related skills as it's the new gold mine.

Hello Nairalanders..

I am a bit confused right now. I have two remote jobs currently, they both pay me 200k and 150k salary respectively. These two companies have been existing for over 3 years so they have built up structure that one could trust a little over time...

I recently applied for another full-time job, it's a startup that is just moving from ideation phase to implementation. And they are offering me 650k salary a month even though I told them my salary expectation is 500k a month. I will be working 2 days onsite, 3 days remotely.

I am enticed by this new salary and at the same time, my current jobs have built structure that I can trust.

Not to even mention that I occupy a very important position in these two companies: though not a big deal.

Please i am just confused... Just finanlized everything with the company’s management team.. I am meant to resume next two weeks.

Call out what it is you are afraid of:

That you risk leaving two jobs that are established for you or go for the 650k one?

The new job will give you an extra 250k to your income. if you can maintain your current expenditure that's an extra 250k of savings per month.
if that extra money goes a long way to your savings or other financial goals (and you are young) you could go for it. regardless of how the new job fares, just working there gives you extra money to save. And worst case scenario if you last a year at the new job and you no wan do again, the extra savings/time to pick your next job will certainly help.

Assuming the pay is regular. That's where your homework/decision lies. All can seem good in paper but I have learnt all too well that the real details are after you say yes.

So whatever you do, make sure the worst case scenario is survivable by you alone. Besides that, avoid lifestyle inflation

Baba rest, you lying. Only few of the the IT jobs are goldmine and not all pays you fat salaries, it also depends on your luck. Y'all should stop sugar-coating everything.

Hello, I'm into data science (data analysis and machine Learning to be precise) for quite sometime, but I'm having issues getting jobs with it, can you help with how you get you jobs maybe sites or openings, or any advice concerning the acquired skills maybe a change or learning more etc.

Majorly I use LinkedIn
Do somethings to build your resume as well, it will go a long way. As regards skill set, I am a software engineer and data science isn't a bad field either, just that you will have to look beyond this country for remote job openings...

You can start with internships if full-time job will be difficult to get.

Please I will really appreciate a good Samaritan that can give me any used laptop to enhance my learning in digital marketing...thanks in advance

It’s always a red flag when a company offers more than you asked for and/or worth.

- Two people so far have identified a red flag above about the pay manipulation, they are offering to pay you 650k instead of what you asked for, It is a big red flag.

- The advantage that your new job will give you on paper is that, It will financially move you up the ladder which from henceforth, you can no longer accept jobs below 650k once you want to progress from the new job.

- Also please don't listen to naysayers saying you should hire someone to be doing your two previous jobs in the low. You will be caught eventually because of time management and it will tarnish your image.

Drop one of the remote jobs you have and take the job, but be on the lookout because your new employer seems like manipulators to me.

Building of resume involves getting internships and jobs which is actually an issue

650k, 2 days on site 3 days remotely. Seems like a good idea to me!

Please can I learn from you?

Hello, I will be glad to teach and mentor you to become a software developer.
However, there are two prerequisites:
1. You must have a solid computer system and
2. You have to pay a token fee for the training materials and tutoring I would be providing you.
Trust me, the fees are nothing compared to the potential gains you stand to get if you can pull this through.
If you can guarantee these two points, let me know.
