I am a chartered accountant, I don't bother about practicing as it becomes monotonous after a while. Neither do I harbor grandiose thoughts of working for the big 3 accounting firms. I have a niche and that pays my bills and keeps my family happy - I've never wanted too much from this life!
Sorry I'm asking,what niche is that?
I myself,I'm an accountant but not chartered yet.

Read what thread? That a programmer earns 50k as monthly salary? What kind of programmer is that?

50k is approximately $120 and any programmer can easily picket that from freelancing in just days.

Just maybe, you're the programmer...I'm sorry, you're a knuckle head and a shame to programmers.
And if I'm not the programmer, you must be a knuckle head and a disgrace to your family and lineage?

It's like you did not read the thread, a trait of a knuckle head!

I'm talking about someone whose second job pays him more than #120, 000 with free lunch.

READ THE THREAD!
You're a clown. Where in the original post did you state that his new job pays him 120k and free lunch?

Which sane programmer would take another programmer who earns 50k serious?

A CiviL Engineering undergraduate, but aspiring to become a badass programmer</>coder.
Hence, I haven't gotten a system yet, please recommend a system I can get at a price range of #50k to #60k...

Thanks! God bless you as you do so...

But in the second paragraph or so it was stated that the second job he got was a better job and you should know better could be #110, 000 or even #200, 000, but you just wanted to show you could curse/cuss hence your use of the word "knuckle head"!

Go and learn the ropes of programming and stop been a disgrace to programmers. You can't be managing websites or building landing pages of websites and call yourself a programmer.

For you to even create this thread, shows you're a clown. While other programmers are getting offers in this pandemic, some are even confidently resigning to focus on their well paying freelance jobs, programmers even in the pandemic are sought after and seem isolated from the whole mess....But alas, a 50k earning website developer is crying about instability of jobs for Programmers?

Blaady clown!

90% of very wealthy and very very successful people I have come across and was opportune to speak to about how they turned out to be successful in life be it business wise politically, top post in offices,tend to have a helping hand ( connect). Either by father,mother, family,godther,godmother,boss or a good samaritan. To those few fractions of the very wealthy ones who beat their chest to say they did it on their own,i doff my hat.

Truth is it ain't easy brother.

People don't realize what "connections" mean! People go to the University, finish without making friends with the connections present among them. I started my hustle in "hard mode"

For a programmer who was earning 50k, earning 70k per month would have been seen as a blessing, don't you think?

Go and learn programming and not website design, so you can stop clowning around.

If you are really good at the language or know your work very well it's stable, i can even say it's over stable sef, i have a friend who is doing two programming jobs together freelancing, before Coronavirus pandemic even with world wide lock downs and closure he is still working and getting paid almost 2M per month and some companies in lekki are begging him to work for them for pay of almost 600k per month. So it boils down to how good you are, if you really good at it you will never lack good paying jobs except there isn't anything as technology again

Well, I personally work as a freelancer on fiverr and seoclerks.

The thing is, if you are good, most people who give you project will come back with more.

Just that for some time now, I have stopped accepting projects (including from returning customers) because the pay is not really encouraging.

I currently stay in Akure but I'm hoping to move to Lagos or Abuja soon sha.

Not sure I have ever seen a developer earning less than 100k. My organization pays at least 120 even for interns. We scarce man....especially the really good ones. One of my colleague earns 600k and he does nothing. He has been earning that for over 3 years. Not to even mention the side projects...for those who knows the code name...PP

I myself ,I'm an accountant but not chartered yet .

I'm going to reproduce an exact answer I gave someone on here a while ago. Offer is still valid!

"Start building your accounting skills - professional certification is great if you can afford the ICAN classes. If not learn how to use Quickbooks/SAGE, since you have an Accounting background, brush up on your financial reporting for Not for Profits.

While you are it, take online courses on procurement/supply chain and taxation (basic treatments of income tax and WHT will suffice for now).

Show proof of progress in 6 months and remind me of this thread, I will guarantee you a physical interview for a project that starts next year."

I'm a programmer working with an organization earning salary. I am also a consultant to many organisations including private universities, polytechnics, college of education, and supermarkets I would not want to mention here using my softwares.

And as a very good programmer, you should be able install CCTV, know networking and computer engineering to some extent. With this, you can never go broke in life.

there are 1 billion programmers in india alone. it is a very unstable job if you are not good. but if you are perfect ? like you can bang out codes ass easy as you breath air ? the sky is the limit. question is how many people can get that good ? most people will not get that good because thhe motivation is the money and not the love of it. you are competing against 14 year old geeks who view coding like sex lol. they get orgasms from coding. you get orgasms from the money you think coding brings.

No one is perfect. The creator of C++ rated himself a 7 on 10 in the language he created. If he's rating himself a 7 everyone in Nigeria who probably uses the language is a 0.5. 1 billion lol. What's the population of India?

he is a white man not a black man. white people are known to be self deprecatingly humble. if he told you he rates himself an 11 out of 10 most people will say he is arrogant and will be turned off by him. this is one of the laws of conquering peoples minds. pretend you are not so good even when people know you are good and it endears people to you. india has like 3 billion people i believe

don't mind this fellow. Amd is the leading cpu now. Any Core i3 or i5 out there, you will see a faster and better AMD than it at a cheaper price. I have to come back to this post cause I noticed lot of people are ignorant..
A Ryzen 5 CPU 3600 is about 60to 70k. Beats core i5 upto to 9th generation. AMD 2 gens are very good. Depending on what you want, AMD chips as of 2020 are better than any Intel CPU..
