- Ghanaians do not usually speak publicly about their salaries. Meanwhile salaries in the Tech space are generally low. In this video I provide commentary on some trending issues on Ghana Tech Twitter about salaries and advice on how one can grow and increase their salaries in 2021

Absolutely awesome, it’s great to see more Africans in software development here on TH-cam ... keep it going ✊🏾
Thanks bro. All the best too

Tech advocacy needs more voices like this! Great stuff
True Faith. It starts with us!
That's so true bro.. we need to up our game.
Very true. But don't wait till you get there yet. Keep applying, get rejected and keep learning.
Good job. i am inspired
*Man this is a great topic and a good watch, glad I found your channel, finally tech in Ghana getting talked about a lot!*
You're welcome Innocent
Hey innocent... Am a big fun of yours...... Learning graphics from you..... Big ups bro
@@u-reporter8232 I'm humbled senior!
This is good stuff bro. Loving it!
Thanks bro. I love that you're loving it. :)
This is a very good post, I have stopped searching for jobs from Ghana and I'm focused on searching for jobs from Abroad, it is kinda difficult but will get there. I have been training myself and acquiring all skills I need to get such jobs.
Great one Abdullah. Way to go! All the best in your search. While the skill is important, focus heavily on your interviewing skills, both behavioral and technical. You'll definitely land the job you're looking for.
Please i need advice. ..I'm now going to start school...I want to be a software engineer
@@emmanueldogbe5316 Hi Elikem, nice to hear this. Sorry for the late reply. The best time to start is now. It's a marathon that would require you to commit say 1 hour each day to it. Don't rush it. if you want to do far, start with the fundamentals of an Object-oriented programming language. I suggest python. Conquer the basics. Then move to something practical by doing HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You'd be fine. Send me an email for more advice.
we always learn from Errors and mistakes but we need to gain the time ! time is money brother ^^
Love your content... just subscribed.
Thank you Ozee. We move!
i like the photo in your wall brother and good to see my tribes in youtube
you are right bro, hungry developers are make the Ghana tech very cheap , just like India
Exactly. Someone is willing to do it 2x less the price.
Awesome truth 😉
Yeah bro. Hard truth.

Thanks Caleb.
Hey bro, how can I reach up to you. I'm new to this and it's quite difficult getting around this whole CS and software development thing. I look forward to hearing from you.
New Sub here
Thanks for subbing
If you are able to pass interviews and create products from start to finish, would you be open to relocating to other higher-paying countries? I find a lot of top-notch developers in poorer countries migrate to top cities because they couldn't get a high pay remote job in their own city while being able to clinch offers in good companies in top cities. Some of them may eventually go back to their home while holding a remote job, for example going to the US to make $100k USD for a few years, and hit $150k eventually, then going back to Vietnam to earn $70k USD remotely.
Edit. More context, For example, a good developer in Vietnam can make $24k USD while in Vietnam, which is actually a good salary there, but then get a job in Singapore for $80k USD(Interviewing over video), and then move their families over.
This sounds good. If such an opportunity comes your way as a developer in a global south country that's a gold mine. I am open to such.
Nice 👍
Awesome. Thanks
Thanks Pius. More of such content to come
bro I'm in my first year of IT course in GCTU. I'm trying to develop myself outside school.
and I really appreciate this video, all developers should try to work on sth
Awesome bro. Glad to know that this video has inspired you. Keep on learning outside of class.
I'm also a student of GCTU
I am also a GCTU student 🫂🫂🫂
Very great
Great!!
Thanks Prime.
Pls are there any software training schools available apart from the University
The topic is okay, ...some companies are paying good while others are find their feet or simply taking advantage of the industry... I think its all about ur negotiations skills n the value u put on ur trade. CI CD is key to getting value for ur skills.
The Ghanaian economy is not a high consumer of tech products ,making it harder for most tech companies to make more money, hence the low remuneration i guess. Clients want to pay 1/3 of the value u render. How much tech is government consuming to start with? Keyhole Earth Viewer was the originator of what we all know as GoogleMaps. The US 🇺🇸 government supported the young startup, the news media played a key role too n today, the rest is history... things will change with time in my opinion...
No truer words have been said. Thanks Daniel. It is a fact that our companies are not making that much revenue to be able to afford to pay the developers that much. I encourage developers to build their skills for the international market and to apply for remote work.
If you are in that area move outside Ghana
So basically, as you grow, your value grows and your salary grows!😅
This is a perfect summary 👏 👏
Exactly..lolx

Which university offer Software Engineer in Ghana
Pls which companies in Ghana value computer science students or graduate
Pls help me out
How many years of experience do one need to get a remote Job
Which company my brother
Good content, but you are accepting being cheated in Ghana. The people who feel cheated they have the skill, I see jobs the skill they require and the salary they are paying does not match. I think you should understand why Edem is doing what he is doing, I don't accept what your guy said and he did not mention his salary. I have seen many job listings in my school job channel on slack and the salary for some jobs I know a lot of Ghanaians devs have the skill are paying as low as 15euros an hour those ones we feel are bad. What're your thoughts
That's an interesting perspective Caleb. I really understand what you when you talk about cheating. And I am glad you raised it here. It is very terrible how some companies who have the financial strength to pay their employees well decide to pay low salaries. I do not condone such act and I believe it is an unfair treatment. The truth is, that is the reality in the industry. However, you find that there are a few people who are standing out and getting remote opportunities that are paying well. Work has become borderless in the tech space. No need for relocation. Talents can now be sourced from anywhere. So I argue that if you want to get such opportunities you have to do more than just CRUD applications. Write test, learn CI/CD and dive deep into software architecture. You simply have to stand out. Let me know what you think.
@@kbollins do you know how much a friend as a normal working student is earning 26euros an hour, so an entry would way higher than this
@@calebapronti6981 That's really impressive. Is this a developer job? Also the location matters. What may look very good in Ghana many not be the same in Europe. If he is in Europe, tax may take a heavy part. Earning even 15euros/hr as you mentioned earlier is good in the Ghanaian context. It shouldn't be so but the industry has allowed that. This is why those who have the skill and courage are looking for remote opportunities in Europe and US.
