Damn tech is so crazy. Even I get shocked of the kind of things I see everyday. Some survey was done on the salaries of Blockchain developers and the least salary came in at 650 USD a month and the highest came in at 30k USD a month.

I thought the 30k USD a month figure was just a lie until someone posted his total compensation in a data structures group I am a member of on Facebook. It came down to 33k USD a month and this person lives in Nigeria. Dropped out of futa after 2 years like has no degree and has been able to achieve this whereas someone with PhD Is teaching for 30k naira a month.

Life no balance o. God, tech is just one crazy field. Its why we should remain humble o cause no matter how big you think you are a ton of people are bigger.

Follow the part Bellow:

1. Learn the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.(Not indept, but basics. On a scale of 10, It should be 5,5 and 6 respectively).

2. Pick up Java. Don't compromise the basics. Learn the syntax and semantics well.

3. Pick up Spring/Spring Boot Frameworks(Understand the MVC)

4. Learn a database. MySQL is ok.

5. Learn Unit testing (This will set you apart and get employers interested in you)

6. Learn Maven, Hibernate, JPA and Maven(These are just implementation processes. Don't be scared. After you learn the basics, you can pick this in 3weeks)

7. Most important part: Build at least two solid projects that implement all the above. Two sold projects are better than vague 10 random projects.

8. If you want to stand out as I did, write one cloud certification. Got Google's scholarship and wrote GCP, and did Microsoft 30 days challenge and got a discount of Azure, which I paid just $40(17k). This will make you irresistible.



All this looks like a lot, but it's what I did in a space of a year. Now our IQ might differ, but dedication and commitment can be the same.

When you do no 7, follow this site to apply for jobs. 2 months after your projects and you'd get a remote pay of $1000 minimum from Poland.

At all but he's a principal blockchain developer. Started as a normal dev and then switched to blockchain in 2018.

Hannania:
You can't bypass it. You can only use supporting documents. Nigeria is well represented with them. Send a mail to their support, they'll list the alternatives available for your case

AtoningBlood:

Thanks for your response. Sorted. I changed my user category to individual instead of company and the requirement changed to just any of the government issued ID card. So am cleared.

Thanks again

Hannania:
its not about "dem say". I know a former Aircraft engineer who started coding in 2022, early, and now works for a polish firm as a developer. He applied through The site, but it turns out they also posted it on https://remoteleaf.com/remote-software-developer-jobs/poland. So please apply

I lost an offer from a firm there, because of payment method. Now my present employer uses deel

rossovu:
Hello guy, please I need help ASAP. I want to go into tech but I'm torn between two options so please I need your help.
Which one is better, salesforce administrator or data analytics.

I need something that can land me a job in 6 months cus I'm so broke right now, I'm suffering seriously, I need help badly.

tensazangetsu20:

There's no tech skill that can give you this in six months especially in this tech downturn.

haybhi1:

Omo, Chief, the way this tech downturn has ploughed the tech world, regarding tech opportunity seekers...

tensazangetsu20:

People in the west still have jobs though not as glamourous but still good jobs mostly those from the third world are bleeped.

Aiit, chief, what's up, you go advise pezin go Naija university study cybersecurity in today's world, regarding opportunities?

Sorry this might be a contrary opinion but there’s a reason DS&A is usually a second year course in most structured Uni CS programs. It’s because you need a decent knowledge of a simple high level language (Python), low level language (usually C) and the difference between data structures implementations at both levels to be able to understand the trade offs you’ll be learning about. You also need the maths background to understand the simplicity of the discrete maths, graph and number theory algebras you’ll be using. The prereqs for those are usually Calculus, Stats and Linear algebra. (CLRS is the standard here)
Why you need a decent maths background ? You’ll be able to explain what’s happening under the hood even if you’re wrong. For example, you’ll know if the functions starting to look like a series it can probably be done with a O(log(n)) solution. Or if you’re using too many iterations or loops that’s a O(n) solution. Or the difference between even O(n) and o(n).Now you might argue that you could know these as a beginner, yeah you could memorize but how long before it becomes an headache and you become demotivated.
You don’t have to study the whole curriculum or learn it in-depth, but you need to have a working knowledge or a layman’s understanding of the complexities before you even attempt the leetcode or hackerrank of this world. That’s where I find Grokking Algorthms good.
That’s why a comprehensive algorithm course is 6 months tops and you mainly write in pseudo codes. It’s assumed your prior programming and maths experience would make you understand the logics and reasonings quickly.
My advise don’t actively think about DS&A until you can implement basic data structures using a high level language, and you’ll need at least a year of playing around with the language to get to that level or to even understand the beauty of what you’re working with. And when you start - plan to understand the basics in 3 months tops, spend the next three or so actively using it for job interviews because it’s easy to get burnt out fasttttas it’s mentally tasking PLUS when you get in the industry most of that thinking is already done or would be done by higher level architects in the organization.
