I've been working remotely for a year now and the experience so far has been a mixed one.
No doubt, it's more convenient working from home; navigating between work desk and your bed, not having to wake up early and dress for work,etc.

Apart from the boredom and sometimes not having a balance lifestyle between work and life, it's been a great experience.

akin101:
I am curious as to how developers and other career minded people source and keep remote jobs. I would like to ask remote job workers what their experience has been like getting and keeping remote work especially with different time zones, internet and other experiences.

If you are a remote job worker commenting on this thread, please do provide relevant information and include the following;

1. How long you have been doing remote work
2. Time Zone of Work/Nigerian Time
3. Current Pay
4. Type ie permanent or temp worker
5. Duration of Work if temp work
6. Your Area of Specialization(Your line of work):
7. Remote Work sites you got your job:
8. Your Nigerian Internet Experience
9. Recommendations for those looking for Remote Jobs

1. More than 4 years
2. Different timezones, worked with UK, Indians, US, Australians. First they must know I'm a proud Nigerian, if they are unwilling to work with one then they should f*CK off with their money.
3. Depends on project, min $15 per hour.
4. Both temp and permanent. Currently on permanent with Automatic.
6. Software engineer
7. Hired, LinkedIn, Hubstaff talent, we work remotely, stackoverflow etc
8. Stable, been using MTN for a while.
9.If you are a Developer, build a lot of projects. Be able to defend your project. Clients will come knocking. Ignore those street peeps calling you Yahoo as long as you are legit

Typing....,

Remote Job is bae...if you know you know
.....

Mind you if you have access to internet and a PC /Phone and you ain't earning @least $300 monthly then it's your undoing.

The problem with most people not earning online is simply not been able to convert their skills or passion to money!

The basic principle of influencing your customers or consumers!!!

How and where do I start from pls

Olalekank:
I’ve been working remotely since March last year as a Software Engineer with a startup in Nigeria. It was quite enjoyable at first but it became tiring at some point. I particularly liked the flexibility that came with it because sometimes the ginger to work on the day isn’t available. I just wake up 4am the next day and work till standup or something.

You also get to try new stuff out and have more time to yourself as you don’t have to face up to 4 hours per day in Lagos traffic. One disadvantage is it can take a toll on your mental health especially if you live alone.

If you asked me now though, I’d like a mix of remote work and on-site. Say 2 days on-site and 3 days remote.

Just got my first remote job, I will be resuming on the 26th of this month... I am little bit nervous but I know I will fit in no time, though it's a new role in my career: Software Architect.

I have sent you a PM, I would like to connect with you.

Remote? I am in to Architectural drawings and construction plans inbox me if you need my services

Yes I can guide you and help you with resources that will help you

Hi, can you mentor me on a skill to learn. I have zero knowledge.

My experience is that there are many educated illiterates like ojuu4u, who still thinks anyone working remotely online is automatically an internet fraudster.

Because he has seen and heard stories or internet fraud, then his myopic, small, limited mind sees every online money making as a fraud.

I need remote work opportunity

Do you want ojuu4u to call you an internet fraudster?

You better go and look for a physical work like bricklaying, learn work like mechanic or sell tomatoes in the market so that ojuu4u will not call you a fraudster.

As far as his limited mind is concerned, anything outside a physical business is internet fraud.

Very childish and stupid mindset.

Is there no one here working remotely as a UI/UX designer??

Let me start by saying it’s a bitter sweet experience.

In giving context, I live on the mainland and work in Lekki phase 1. (Un)Fortunately for me I drive but the mad traffic I face everyday is telling on my health. So working from home is great in this regard.

But having done that for a year, it’s now getting boring and tiring. Notwithstanding having Netflix subscription, premium cable subscription and what not, one cannot underestimate the value of human interaction. This is not how we humans are wired to operate.

Pls who will mentor me on this?...I will be eternally grateful to that person

Pls can anyone mentor me online
About how to go by this

I have Internet

Can you mentor me please...
