“However, upon getting to Nigeria I discovered there are very few platforms with accurate and up-to-date information about IT salary trends, which is why we launched this innovative Real-Time IT Salary Trends Dashboard. This platform enables employers and job seekers within the IT industry to understand salary trends,” He further added.
The PlentyTechJobs platform also has a tool called “IT Salary Calculator” for job seekers and employers that need salary information on specific skill sets.
The salary calculator tool is likewise updated in real-time. It is easy to navigate and adopt and it makes life seamless for employers and job seekers by giving them a deeper insight into jobs in Nigeria.”
Speaking further, Adelowo advised IT Professionals on how to answer salary expectation questions. “Candidates should always shoot for the stars but always make it clear if they are willing to negotiate. It’s far more important to be focused on the learning opportunities a job provides. In my experience, some of the random skills I learned in low paying IT jobs made all the difference to getting better-paying jobs,” he advised.
PlentyTechJobs is a digital marketplace for technology careers that serves the needs of employers looking to hire Tech Talent for short to long term needs. The platform also caters to Technology talent that is looking to find their next IT job or looking to transition into a career in technology.
