It depends on your experience. $500 - $10k. Remote work is the deal these days. And if you have value to offer, you definitely can reasonably determine how much you want to be paid.

shegzhkn:

10K USD, are you for real... How many people do you know earning that ??, What is the average earnings of remote worker In Africa??
Dis one wey dem dey cut jobs left and right, dem come ship those jobs overseas.

BennyDGreat:



It's not about the average. It's more about you.
If you have solid value, you can earn more than 10k USD a month....it's all about the individual.

Negroid001:
Joined a Logistics startup during the End Sarz era. Pay was cool. Business plan was perfect.
We weren't making sales because the managing director was so obsessed with the ideology of the business and didn't treat the business as a business. We weren't making sales. Resigned the 5th month when they delayed salary for some few days. Delay of Salary is the first sign a business is about to go burst. Startups are cool. And you'll get to enjoy privileges if it booms.

Only downside is chances of going burst is very high.

HighBK:


It usually like that, especially at early stage startups. Do you have equity or any significant financial rewards?

There's usually pros and cons of working at a startup. If you plan to launch a startup in the future. You get to do a lot, learn a lot, be there through key stages and apply that learnings when starting your own venture.

The vague job description also mean you potentially could define your scope of work or direction. Since you are literally doing everything for the first time, it is whatever you call it.

If you are experiencing stress in a startup environment, especially when you have no clear job description and are asked to handle multiple tasks. You can consider the following
- communicate your concerns
- prioritize as much as possible
- set boundaries early on. Don't work weekends or till 11pm
- develop your own structure
- use tech to automate your tasks and don't tell them about it. So they ask you to write 10 letters, you already have a template for it and get it done in 5 mins. But yourself extra time and tell them it will take 1 day
- if you still can't cope. Dust your resume and start job search on the side..

Goodluck

Never in my life...

They have no organogram.

They have no career ladder.

Your appraisal/promotion is linked to eye service.

If you leave them for a structured company, you would be shortchaged most times as the new firm cannot accurately read your level and worth. So they will most likely throw you to entry level even after "years of experience".

Some of them intentionally run like startups for a long time. Masters at emotionally blackmailing staff.

socialmediaman:


This is especially true for older companies still running like startups. Deep management problem. High turnover etc.

It was terrible. Start ups will suck the life out of you. However, you will gain good experience on the job.

NairalandAngel:
My experience with start-ups was providing funding.

Most of them are rubbish!

Any money you inject in a start-up business in Nigeria just kiss the money good bye

shegzhkn:

Lol, why did you think they are shipping out the job in the first place??

BennyDGreat:


For lower pay of course.

However, some folks still earn more than 10k USD a month from Nigeria.

If there are folks like that, our question must be...how do I position myself to be that kind of person?

If some folks can legitimately earn that from here, you can too. It's all about how much value you can churn out.

shegzhkn:

Lol, you still don't get it, it there economy and they control things, there maybe folks who earn 10K USD like you said but they are in the minority (that for sure) and no matter how much people in the developing world position themselves for bigger pay it not gonna happen (it has to be in the confine of what they can or want to do).
