Your mates are earning legit money, you are here using your brains to steal from people like them working hard long hours for their money. Shouldn't you be ashamed of yourselves? Seriously.

So now you have changed the tune from "Nigeria is bad" to "it's nothing compared to people working regular job abroad" undecided

A thief is a thief, stop calling God's name while using the same fingers to defraud people.

Can't you read and comprehend! I'm talking about the MD's you States above making lots of money for themselves. How many Nigerians with their qualifications are opportuned to become an MD? Stop it, top to bottom are corrupt.. A regular worker in overseas can make exactly the same or more than those MD's you mentioned above. God is merciful, His mercy is beyond imagination... There's a different between a pathetic liar and a lair, hope you get it. I'm done for the day with you guys on nairaland.... I wish y'all heart warming Nigerians good...

There is more to remote jobs than you think. Here is my personal experience.

Recently, i received a mail from a remote american tech company that i applied for. I was informed, that an interview will take placed few days, i prepared for the interview and the day came , lot of questions were asked that questioned my experience in web development. Finally the interview was over, but still i felt that i really embarrassed myself and messed up but i kept my fate.

Two days later, i received a mail from the same company where all the company guidelines, workflows and other necessary information i needed to get started were contained.

I resumed work a week after, soon i decided to set up my work environment just for me to realize i will be working actively at midnight from 11:30 - 6:30 due to time zones difference.

So basically, my life was staying on the PC every night and i adapted to it to the extent that i might not use my PC yet i can't sleep at night.

Soon after, i felt ill for 3 days after 4 weeks of sleepless nights and i was advised to reduce my working time and sleep often.

Knowing it was dangerous for my health, i cut my working time to 4AM and i will be off to bed. This step almost cost me my job because i published a new feature to the company product but i didn't include proper documentation of what the feature does and the developers and the members were annoyed with me to that.

Since it was a remote company though they have an office at California, most of their members work remotely, the company meetings are always held on Thursday via Google Meet and i have been marked absent for 3 times in a row which is really bad for my report. I was warned if i miss the next meeting, there is a possibility that i might be on probation or worst relieved of my role.

NB: I work as a frontend developer using Vuejs as my core language.

Wow...vue.js

Well just try lookin for a job in Nigeria. Although I'm not sure Nigerian developers actually use it (Vue.js) its mostly outdated php

Why do I not believe this story? As a front-end developer in one of the banks in Nigeria, E2 level salary is 250,000 naira a month which is already more than $500 dollar you claim that your international company pay you. I would have believed this story if the salary is $50000 not $500. Please go and look for a job in a Nigerian company if you are really good. They pay more than that and some even allow remote work. I know people working remotely as software developers. Their salary is either close to a million or more than and some work as from 3:00 am. I really doubt if any reasonable company will give you the time you say you work irrespective of the time zone. I know we all want attention but let us not use lies to shame others!

Well, the pay isn't that much $500 per month but it is quite okay for me though.

I would have aksed for more but i am not good at negotiating so i went with the flow.

You do know this is about 5% of what the average developer in California earns
Re: Share Your Remote Job Experience As A Developer by MrJavaS: 5:03pm On Jul 06, 2020
Guest911:

I work for a Californian company too, my work starts at 3:00pm and end at 10:00pm, I have never missed a standup meetings, and I always give an hour heads up if I was ever going to be late for meetings.

One thing my remote team and I agreed on was the time overlap.
So I just go on slack report that I have started working on xyzzy features and by 10:00pm, I go again and tell them what I was able to accomplish and that I'm going to bed. I work as backend using Nodejs and ExpressJs.

EDIT: I saw where you mentioned you earn $500, dude I won't advise you to quit immediately, I would advise you to sharpen your skills and apply to jobs in Australian, Berlin etc. You now have remote work experience.

I've been working remotely for 4 years, my least pay is still $5000. my goal is to hit $10,000 ~ $15,000 per month by 2021 that's why I'm taking algorithm classes.

I am also learning express and node. I also have decent front end skills. Can you suggest a site that pays ....?

This is the reason why I target European remote jobs, this time zone thing can be wild.

Btw your pay is verrrryyyyy low, you are being exploited, even if you are a beginner you should be earning double of your current pay. Most of the folks I know earn 2k dollars upwards.
It's not that easy getting remote jobs with companies in the EU because of their labour policies. Many companies would prefer to even sponsor your visa and pay for relocation rather than give you a remote role when you live outside the EU, especially if you are in Africa.
