Just a piece of what I forgot to push in my previous thread on chronicles of how I transitioned to data.
I understand some new comers may be asking what’s the salary range that should be quoted during an interview.
So I will be using myself as an example. I would also want experienced data gurus to chip in their range.
I started on 165k as net as my 1st data job. Fully remote.. then 225k then 290k to 400k
Now >= 500k
However these increments were due to efforts and years of experience.
Inputs are welcomed.

Najdorf:
If you don't mind sharing more info, what online platform did you use to find the jobs?

Kellzzyy:
Not more than #40, 000

Ejiod:
You mean 400k?
If 40k it means you are underpaid even if it’s internship

What certifications did you use?

BUGOFF:
kindly suggest like 3 laptop with specs (low-budget) that would be ideal for the Data Analytics journey, please.

I keep hearing of i3, 500g, 8g RAM, etc.. and it's quite expensive (new).

Can I get fairly-used?

Thanks.

Thanks you for the info.. please, if is not too personal, like how long it takes before you got your first job?.. seem it hard to break into the system. Have received quite a rejection letter over a week have been searching. Also if you can recommend me.. am familiar with python, machine learning, deep learning, MySQL, powerbi, tableau and excel. I can share portfolio URL if you wish to check.

For Data Science/Data Analysis role? Is this Nigeria remote? Personally, I think you are underpaid for your job role. You should be earning over a million for a rookie role. With years of experience (2+ years) you should be sitting on ₦3m net.

Entry level Tech Support for US businesses earn around $15/hr. You should easily double that

Ejiod:
It’s Nigeria….
Obviously I know I’m underpaid but just have to maintain till I get a foreign job

Ejiod:
none

Ejiod:
You can always get fairly used from jiji
HP, Dell or lenovo

BUGOFF:
Thank you but, you haven't told me the laptop specifications that would be suitable for all the downloads, software, many hours of the course, please.
What I mean is, s laptop that wouldn't hang or be slow to process, a laptop with enough storage, etc. Thanks
