      Who are we to say you can't? You might start at any lower salary compared to what you already have. Those are the things you need to know and think deeply about. Also consider your personal circumstances.

      ​@@fikilemonnye2636 I'm 33, this is my final year at WeThinkCode. I have an interview with some company next week. When I was 24 I thought I was too old for school.
      Here's my logic, if you are earning less than 20K now, you probably won't reach 30K till you retire.
      Is it a fair trade to sacrifice 3 years to potentially earn +80K before you retire? That is fully your judgment.
      NB: In my case I have zero responsibilities, no child etc.

    Hi Boni, I love your content and appreciate the effort you put into sharing salary insights for different careers. However, I've noticed that you tend to focus more on IT professionals. I think it would be great if you could also explore other high-paying careers like Mining Engineers, Chief Safety Officers, Safety Managers, SHEQ managers, Risk managers, and Operations Managers. These professionals often earn competitive salaries, sometimes even surpassing those in the IT sector. So we kindly request you to ask these professionals to send their payslips. Would love to see more diversity in your content! THANK YOU!

    IT job saturation is not something to happen anytime soon in South Africa and the whole of the African continent.
    I am a Software Engineer, and I have worked in a few industries (airline, banking and insurance), the reality of it is that we are still adopting technological advancements in SA and the continent.
    Yes, SA may be one of the most advanced countries, however, there is still a lot of demand for critical skills in the IT industry, especially in the software space. I always say that, when someone joins a company, if you can learn what the business does and align yourself with solving problems for that particular vision or mission, then you have a lifetime career. You can literally work in any industry without any issues.
