Education / Re: The Embarrassing Salary Of A Nigerian University Lecturer. by Runningwater(m): 5:52pm On Jul 18, 2022
Tmex:
As much as i agree with the write up it will be wrong to single a profession for a fair treatment what happens in Nigeria cuts across every profession. What we should instead clamour for is a change in our labour law.

No be lie.

Nigeria employers of labour are one in time oo

Stop comparing a professor with a primary school teacher! The scope of work and qualifications are wide apart.

I don't blame you anyway sha

Soon people like you go dey say profs are important than the mothers of the Nigerian society.

Whether prof or secondary school teacher they're all important so stop seeing from one side of the coin when both are needed for any society ready for educational change

I currently earn 15000 + 3 children doing lesson 3000.... That's 18k but it feels like earning nothing, I can't even buy clothes or feed good out of it

15k? The Lord is your strength...

Then someone will be opening his mouth to say stop comparing secondary school teachers to professors when all of them are useful in our society!!!

Who teach those renowned profs and famous people in the world when they were young??

The way society neglect secondary school teachers eh is bad oo

Did you actually attend a good school?. Don't you know that in the university, there exists a faculty of education?. In that faculty, there are professors.
Nigerians! Destroy education and your type are worst. Ignorance at it height.

My point is that why people are clamouring for increase in salary for professors, they shouldn't forget the bedrock of formal education!!! Secondary school teachers

Nigerian lecturers are one of the brightest in Africa, but totally underpaid. Here in Ghana professors are well paid far better than their Nigerian colleagues. Its a shame that Nigerians didn't value their education and educators. Will do anything to shame them.

We always do better at anything, thanks to our country's conditions and mindset wink smiley whether crime, education etc

You're right Nigerian professors don't earn enough to carter for their needs but you shouldn't be quick to attack cause it's same all over the world that tutors aren't paid well.

Whether in the US, UK or other advanced countries. Tutors salary is still small compared to other professions over there. Tutors aren't valued all over the world.

So it isn't a big deal for Nigeria to join the wagon.

That is always his advice. Always bullshitting other backend languages, and encouraging people to learn PHP. PHP for this our time

Anyways, everybody has right to use his/her preferred tech stack.

I just remembered what my brother told me about following the trends. He said "imagine those COBOL coders who refuse to improve on their tech stack, how partially not useful they'll be now, so the lesson is always follow the trends where the future lies"

Tech is an always changing field... tomorrow it might be julia or golang or rust or even GitHub Copilot

Even some tech influentials won't advice coders use it for new tech projects only on maintaining already existing infrastructures

Very good thread. The best way to create portfolio is to get some basic frontend projects and creste some advanced backend services for them. As a backend engineer you are more invested in the software development of things rather than design stuff. So your codes in git are enough. Also do well to read the job description to ensure that you are not applying for full stack position. Therefore your keywords should be the frameworks, django, spring boot, node, c++ and not backend. Because backend will bring up positions that require your knowledge of frontend.

Alright... thanks for adding yours
Programming / Re: Backend Devs How Do You Advertise Your Skills? by Runningwater(m): 11:48am On Jul 17, 2022
Hello, I'm grateful you created this thread. Not too long I saw a front end developer created his portfolio and I was wondering how I would create mine too.

I'm into backend development using python (Django framework).

How has your journey so far as a django back-end developer?? You change stack or what??

Mine takes 1hr for 10% charging... but when it gets to 90 and above, it changes. I only use the usb cable that came with the power bank with an oraimo charger head.

I got mine since on 1st Feb from their office.

The only weird thing I notice about my own is that sometimes when it gets to below 30% it counts like stopwatch to zero percent.

I second the slack move. I'm also on qt's slack channel and have a private channel there that I haven't started using. Half of the people that come to the programming section are toxic. The other half are looking to get a foreign remote job from information gleaned in the programming sub forum and can leave "those idiots on NL"

You mind sharing invitation links I could join on slack??

I think to relocate out of the country these are the best ways

1. Freelance Job = Freelance Visa

As long as you have a freelance job, my advice is enter countries with low restriction and apply to another country from there.

2. Relocation Job
This is the hardest, it cost less to migrate an EU person than a Nigerian unless you are extremely too good .

No matter which way you go,

It's the same requirement

You need to be skilled to be considered


There is another route, but if you can run your company , have transactions running through it, you can have your own company employ you and you can show that you work for a company, this requires too much money.

So like Tensa will say study your Algo and DSA

@LikeAKing there's no golden rule to relocation/remote job, you have to be good to apply for jobs and pray for the best, sometimes it's luck and sometimes it's divine. My advice study your code and do more work, anything other than that is a waste of time.


What kind of freelance jobs you meant?? The ones on sites like upwork, freelancer among others??

Please how was the quiz like?

The python quiz was in area in OOP, DSA, Function, Regex and File

About 10 questions or so. I won't lie I use Google to do some research on some questions. For the DSA a question about what's the Big O notation for data insert for list I think so and others came.

It was just beginner questions.

Chai the power of US Dollar!!!
About half if not more than the 100th billionaires in the world are US citizens.

But if it's here we'll all be criticizing our government for favouring people like dangote with good policies while the US government are doing it well for their citizens businesses to put them above in the world through soft loan, debt bailout, good infrastructures among others.

We're just not so good at team work in Nigeria. sad

If Nigerians read enough they'll find out some of US government's big projects are awarded to those US billionaires companies to keep thier company afloat and to dominate the world through products and services

It's not impossible though but I won't lie it's very very very hard. It's why I tell newbies that even though they are freelancing they shouldnt also forget looking for a job in a reputable company.

1 I get paid in crypto.

2. I don't pay taxes, Nigeria can go Bleep itself in the ass.

3. I have never had anyone ask me for any identification.

4. They do background checks. I had a company I am presently interviewing with in Italy message my present boss and my last boss to confirm I worked with them. My boss knows I am looking for a new job so he's cool with it.

5. Big tech companies relocate you out. If you get a job at Google they relocate you to UK or Ireland likewise Amazon, Netflix et Al. Microsoft has an office in Nigeria but I have met engineers that got relocated to branches abroad cause they applied to those places.

Okay
How is it like for someone like me with only freelance experience getting a tech job remotely or via relocation??

I got no company experience as a developer.
