Do you mean naija guys? If so, I think there is no readily available market for data scientist in Nigeria yet, unlike software developers. One of the Reasons why those guys switched.

Your last sentence got me laughing. You too like money oo., however you need to be passionate about it as well. It is a tough calling.
No, not even Nigeria. I'm not even focusing on the Nigerian market ($$ is important).

Guys I follow on YT, Twitter, etc. such as Joma Tech, and one other lady, all made the switch last year.

That's just by the way tho.. Make i enter DS fully first.

I understand sir. The $$ will drive the passion.

LOL. Why so bad? Both is cool.
I've been seeing a lot of Data Science guys switch to Software.. And the pay is somehow higher than DS except for Database Engineers.

I no wan enter tech cos of passion o. cheesy

Before choosing a new skill, you may want to consider demand and passion.

As for demand, there is an abundance of data out there. What you're looking for is Year on year increase in demand for your chosen skill. Stackoverflow, Glassdor e.t.c report statistics like this.

If the demand for your skill set has been on a decline in the last 3 years (3 years is a pretty long time in tech), you should brace up for a challenging job search.

Band-wagonism is really strong in the tech industry. Suddenly, you'll realize everyone is screaming and howling about this new tech in town, usually, demand follows the trend.
Yes, I understand that. Roles within the Data Science circle are expected to increase exponentially within the next few years.

However, with all due respect, the main question hasn't been answered yet.

Can a Database Engineer be regarded as a Software Developer?
ProgrammingRe: Chronicle Of A Data Scientist/analyst by coolshegs1: 9:37am On Dec 23, 2021
God bless the OP for this post.

I'm presently following the Data Science hierarchy, hoping to become a Database Engineer (a long way indeed, but I no get choice).

Now my question is, can a Database Engineer be regarded as a Software Developer?

Because it seems the demand and pay for software developers is higher than other fields. If not, I'd like to focus on Data Analytics/Science.

Thanks boss.

What Amazon needs is for you to log in and update/change your payment method. You either supply another Payoneer (could be your wife's) or pick any of the other listed payment methods
Yes, I understand sir.

In my initial post, I stated there that I can't login to my account due to the security verification (otp) sent to a disabled US number.

They work through manual payment even if used in an account that is set for automatic payment.

I have been using Naira cards and they work. Currently, i am being charged between 480 to 485 Naira per dollar.
Oh I see.

Sorry, but I'd like to ask this. Considering the CBN limitations, how do you pay for ad spends above $200, $350 with those cards sir?

Sir, do these cards work through manual or automatic payments and are they dollar or naira cards?

Good evening bosses,

I want to pay fr a $10 service on fiverr, but I have $6.88 in my account. The seller even reduced the offer to $5 so I could balance up when he's done.

But the only payment method I'm seeing is PayPal. Does that mean my $6.88 is not enough to pay for a $5 service or I can only pay using PayPal?

It's is a round function.

Replace your formula with this

=Round((C8*D8*B8)*52/12,-1)

You should have your answer.

The function is to round to the nearest 10.

I think there is also a way you can use the number format window to do this if you don't what to use function with formula showing. But I can't remember the number format syntax now. I guess that's what your original work used.

Try check the custom Number format box settings of the original work. You will see the syntax. Just copy it and use in yours.

Hope this help.
Okay boss I'll try this nd get back to you. Thanks very much for the reply!

I'm not sure it's up to $10.

Starting afresh is not a big deal for me, but I want to know if I can use my same document to verify the new account.
BusinessRe: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by coolshegs1: 1:54pm On Dec 08, 2021
Hello house, please I need your advice.

I started Amazon KDP in 2020 after seeing a YouTube video. I didn't really take it seriously then due to the competition and being my first attempt. By the way, the phone number I used to sign up on Amazon was a Google voice number.

My phone got lost in December last year, and the phone number got deactivated due to inactivity.

Late last year, I closed my Payoneer account and opened a new one due to some issues.

Now, I had two problems:
1. I could no longer access to the phone number I used to open my Amazon account.

2. The bank account (payoneer) was also not accessible.

Around June this year, KDP sent me an email that I'd made a sale but the funds couldn't be processed because my bank account was no longer active.

I called Amazon for help, but they requested for the billing address attached to the former bank account.

So I went crying to Payoneer for help, but they keep telling me the "appropriate department is working on retrieving the required data"..

Now, I can't access my Amazon account neither could KDP continue with the payment.

Now, my question is:
Can I open another Amazon account and verify with the same documents I used for the first one?

ProgrammingNeed Help With This Excel Financial Model by coolshegs1(op): 12:07pm On Dec 08, 2021
Hello House, please I need help with this Excel project. I started learning financial projection with Excel recently, after learning the basics of accounting.

So, I proceeded to re-create a financial model to practice what I’ve learnt so far, but I noticed that my calculations are slightly different from the ones in the original document I’m following.


Attachment 1: This is is the original model I was following. The total calculation for the payroll in cell E8 = 4,000. Which happens to be correct after calculating it manually.


Attachment 2: This is my own calculation, and I got “4,001” despite using the same formula, data, accounting format, “rounding up to 0”, and other similar details.

As a result of this unneeded rounding up, my calculations are very different from the original document and I’m having a BALANCE SHEET THAT REFUSES TO BALANCE.

……..

Attachment 3: In this scenario, from the 1st model I re-recreated, the function, “SUM(C28:O28) = 1,770”…which happens to be correct after checking manually.


Attachment 4: After getting frustrated due to incorrect calculations, I decided to recreate the model again from scratch, after working on it for almost a month sad

In the new workbook, I tried using different method by creating the sheets in a random manner. But the very 2nd Sheet I created (Amortization & Deprecation) started showing miscalculations again…

The same function, “SUM(C28:O28) gave me “1,774” despite using the same figures, formats, data and other details…

Please I need help because it all looking like a wasted effort and I don’t really know how to continue from here.

B.S: the initial FINANCIAL MODEL I’m recreating was completed in 2005 or thereabout, so I don’ t know whether the versions of Excel then have precise calculations than the moderns ones.

Software development na blood money oooo. I paid 300K to learn just Java at NIIT back then. I would advise youths to go into it because it's the only business you can start up without need a capital in 9ja. It's the only good job you can get in 9ja without needing a BSC. Though I've left Java sha, but the experience I got from Java gave me advantage to learn JavaScript (React and Node), Python (Django) etc.
Instead of you to go do ashawo or yahoo, go learn programming and thank me later. If you no fit get access to materials, I go help to give you some. It's my little way of taking menance from the street grin

Nice one boss, I'm presently learning data analytics with the aim of becoming a Data Scientist or Data Base Engineer.

Yes, totally one can request payment from both PayPal and Stripe.
Just give the Payoneer account IBAN details instead of normal bank account details to Paypal and stripe while registering with either of them.
