Let this sink in…
You can also do this when you’re good at your job.

The issue isn’t clients. It’s that many Nigerians don’t believe they can charge $1k+ for a landing page. Meanwhile, others are charging $2k–$3k for the same thing. Same skill. Different mindset.

@Victor_Webflow Exactly.. on this matter, I hang boot

@just_andydev @codesbyseyi No. Its no devs thinking they don’t need to know code and can build apps. Prod is a different ball game

AI is building insecure apps and founders are paying for it. Literally.
I just spent 10 hours debugging a client's AWS server. They got a $3000 bill because of a vulnerability AI introduced and never flagged.
If you are running Next.js and Docker, do this right now.
1. Check if you are on Next.js below version 16.2.4
2. Confirm with your dev if your entire .env file is being passed to Next.js via Docker
3. Ask AI to scan your project for RSC vulnerabilities that allow attackers to access your nextjs server
This is especially critical if AI built your project or you are vibe coding.
LLMs are backdated. They do not always use the latest, most secure versions.
If AI created your containers, ask it to check for RSC vulnerabilities immediately.
If the vulnerability exists, rotate all your env files and consider taking the server down entirely.
Everything on a compromised server should be treated as exposed.
Do not wait.

Now, in the context, I'm a freelancer.. I decide how much i want to get paid, and if your offer doesn't stand with me, I'd give you a Google docs website (which is the amount your money can hold). I'd be sure to tell you that before starting anything.
I CANNOT write codes and logic for someone who's looking to cut pay out and use the living daylight out of me

@codesbyseyi I believe you are a front end developer. This is what a Dev guy would earn in Nigeria compared to Canada. So if I am employing a dev guy and pay him 500k monthly is that being a bad employer

With all due respect.. you never talk wehtin dey do you
How much would you have paid a Nigerian living in Canada to edit the "Short form" for you, talk more of a Canadian living in Canada.
Because Nigerians price things at a globally cheap rate, you still want to take advantage and still underprice because he/she is living in Nigeria.. and you are a Nigerian yourself.. omo

CONTEXT
English
Since you locked the comment section, I'll reply with a quote
According to the original context, he mentioned living in Ibadan and expecting US salary, that's practically devaluing the freelancer's work (or at least, since he probably hasn't first-hand seen the freelancer's work).
Now, you can decide (even office jobs) whether or not to take an offer or give an offer. That's totally dependent on your jurisdiction.
If I were to be the one he was talking to, I'd practically tell him what his amount can do for him, else, he finds someone else.
Now, to your question asking whether or not i have paid a staff 500k. If I see a staff, who worth it, I'd pay.. its all about negotiation.. not coming off to X to rant.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

How much have you paid a staff Let’s start with that have you ever given someone 500k I am asking you direct and by the response we shall know the answer Let’s call the spade the spade

@TechnicalBben I don't get why people want value added products/services but can't pay for the added value.. like, y'all fr??

Had the same experience. They tried to size me up until I mentioned working on fintech products with 20M US users. Their tone changed, came back on my terms, now they want me full-time. They also noticed I wasn't hungry, they've been saying thank you for creating time for them.🤣

Earlier this year, I got on a call with a UK fintech client for a website revamp. Quoted $1,500. He said no one will pay a Nigerian $1k for a landing page. So I shared my screen, opened my Contra. Showed him invoices. Silence. Then….“wow.”😂😂😂

@jon_d_doe Sadly, if we continue with this ADC, APC tribal feud, Tinunbu might just win again

If you want to contest for a political position, go and join NDC and contest.
Especially if you're in the south east and North west.
Ride on Peter Obi's and Kwankwaso's glory.
Although I know that most of you would betray them if you get elected.
End.

Your imagination is the limit.. dare to dream, dare to build
Ameer ☻@am33r__105
you can literally create whatever the fuck you want to create. your only limit is how far you can imagine and how much effort you're willing to put into it.

Taking your freelance career as a job instead of a business??
I guess this is why many Frontend devs wind up becoming fullstack dev for companies that pays peanuts

“If you pay me N500k, then you should expect N500k work.” The mere fact that you think like this underscores why your employer refused to flinch and insists on N500k as the upper bound for you. You have just handed them a blueprint. Minimum pay, minimum output. No employer looks at that and thinks “let’s reward this person.” They think “we have priced this correctly.” And they are right. Salary negotiation is not about your current pay. It is about what it costs them the day you leave. If you are delivering N500k work at N500k, that cost is a N500k problem. There is also a distinction between effort and value that this mindset completely misses. Nobody pays you for hours. They pay you for problems going away. The person who resolves a critical issue in 20 minutes is worth more than the one who spent three days on it. The market does not care who worked harder. When negotiating, the goal is to make yourself genuinely difficult to price at your current number. Please don’t treat your career like a freelance gig!

@Wizarab10 Like some +234 boys out of the country intending to pay another +234 in Ibadan lower than global video editing rate
