I find that hard to believe, unless you're not marketing yourself or visiting enough job boards, someone with Java skills will at least find remote freelance.

and you're good with Algo too ?

I do get freelance gigs, I'm talking about a full-time employment, reasonable one not the ones paying 50k

50k USD or NGN ?

Boss market yourself, you don apply for job??

I've been applying for jobs on linkedin, mostly foreign jobs though.
The problem with most jobs is that they are looking for someone with at least 3-5years working experience NOT FREELANCING, MY EXPERIENCE AS A FREELANCER DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO THEM

50K naira.

Do you have a github ? most people use their personal Java projects to apply for jobs, as long as you understand the stack

You're doing something wrong, no Java Developer collects 50k in Nigeria that I know of, even PHP Devs earn more than that. Do you have a github link ?

Even with Java I can get gigs on Upwork or other job boards, that's why I am surprised you're earning 50k.

send a PM, won't be here for a while

I sent you a private message, accept on your mail so I can share my GitHub and personal portfolio website.

I'm not earning 50k, you don't understand my previous post.

I know even Java freelance gigs are expensive. Maybe you should try Shopify Development with Java or Amazon SP. There are some gigs there

If you were able to build that app u listed from scratch, Baba na to fake experience oh .. use what u did in your mini projects and freelance gigs as job description, just state that you were employed as a contractor

I just wonder why I'm unable to secure a normal full time job with my knowledge, I don't even know if all these HR even read through people's CV or just read the first 3 lines and move on to the next

I built that app from scratch bro, it's a complete bank application, I just wonder why I'm unable to secure a normal full time job with my knowledge, I don't even know if all these HR even read through people's CV or just read the first 3 lines and move on to the next

Yes, and I'm good at it, I once built a bank web application that registers/login users and perform operations like transfer, withdraw and deposit. The app automatically generates a bank account number and an ATM card details and store these details in a MySQL database.
The Frontend of the app was built with react while the back end was built with Java Spring Boot

good day boss,can you tutor me for 4months,if yes,how much will you charge me?

what job position? can you post a link to the job ads?

I have actually seen job ads stating salaries as high as one million dollars per annum. It is only possible in the US because Switzerland does not come close.

So what's stopping you from claiming 5 years experience on your resume? This is one thing you should understand, if you sabi your craft well and you are so confident in your abilities, baba, go ahead and claim 5-7 years experience. Do you really think any company wan employ newbies?

Bro, update your resume with 5 years experience. List some companies where you've previously worked and put your paddies phone number as reference. The ones you do freelance works for, put them as part-time/contract. All experience counts.

Now, you should also understand that your resume matters a lot in job hunting. If your resume tight, trust me, you go dey get steady interview. So I think you should work on your resume. Let professionals wey don tay for the game help you review and update your resume. That will go a long way to help secure a full-time job.

You mean 70k or 700k USD? If nah 700k you mean to type, bros abeg stop lying and misleading people. Even the biggest tech company nor go pay Principal Java Programmer that much.. so I believe you mean 70k. How much CEOs sef dey earn?

How much Sundai Paichai self dey ear per year

Not sure, sounds a bit family, I think it's like a support system for Fineract

Yeah but you gotta be good at it . I developed a POS and ATM Terminal debit/credit card processing system that routes transaction to multiple card payment processors based on business logic , charges all kind of cards verve,visa and MasterCard both online pin verification and offline . I decided to delve in deeper and understand how apps are created on card chips with lead me to Java Card Architecture for writing card applets to chips /smart cards . You will be amazed at how powerful Java is , it's WORA capabilities is very good for business .Over 10 billion devices - SIM cards , Financial cards (credit and debit), Access door cards, Loyalty programme cards and yes the NFC architecture for contactless cards payment are all powered by Java. For the Java haters, you are just pained because you find it hard to understand the dynamics of OOP. JAVA will keep being king of enterprise applications and yes enterprise is the field you play in when you want the money in tech if you don't intend to be a founder RT al

As for me , plan is to get snapped up by a chip embossing company and eat the mulllaaaassss!!

Java reigns supreme .
