These are the software developer / engineer salaries in Kenya: (Those competent in popular multipurpose programming languages like C, C++, Objective C, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Delphi, PHP, Go etc
Note that these Kenyan salaries are still far way below international software developer salaries and any competent talented software developer will be more compensated and appreciated if they do remote jobs.
That’s what i did, i use my connections to land clients, pay some software engineers to work on it and pay them well. Besides, i went into real estate and i like it
One thing employees fail to learn is that it is not some organisation, employers etc to determine their payscale. it is them to determine how much they are going to be paid. You are giving employers too much power.
You were being paid peanuts because they knew there were people like you willing to work for that pay.
