Investment banking is not easy to get into. It’s usually children of the big boys that get in with few brilliant ordinary people. Your best bet is to enter a big 4 audit firm.

IB is easier to get into in Nigeria, it's US I know it gets really tough especially for international students.

I don't like accounting as a career, I prefer other aspects of finance like Private Equity, Hedge fund management, IB, etc.

Youngman50:
Am a recent masters grad from a US university.
Although I got a good job after graduation, I won't recommend this route if you're not very bright. The odds of success aren't high, due to the present job market and the H1B situation.

You can risk it though. Other advise will be to try and secure funding, full or partial

Okay so what do you advise I do?
Which route do you recommend and which route did you go through?

zagorakis:
Forget about all these speculations you are doing in Nigeria, there is no way you can enter the US legally as a student and not get sponsorship after your study, unless you are not a smart Nigerian. If you no see sponsorship in Tech or Finance, you look for it in another field, cleaner, hotelier, care assistant, porter, etc. You can even pay for sponsorship, if you're schooling you try and be working and saving for your sponsorship incase, just have good orientation and make smart friends you will be settled.

Thank you.
But most of the occupations you listed are not specialty occupations qualified for H1b.

Can you elucidate on the emboldened?

Quidsin:
Focus on finance, Good you have good programming skills and knowledge. Try to register for ACCA, if you haven't. With ACCA,you can work as an accountant anywhere in the world.

All the best.

Thank you.

However, I prefer other aspects of finance that isn't accounting. Regardless, there are a lot of them in US. Getting sponsorship is the main hurdle.

Praying4Nigeria:
My brother, haven't you seen the thread that shows how wiser Nigerians are now returning to make far more Wealth in Nigeria than when they were when abroad? See Comments on the Thread: https://www.nairaland.com/8049931/video-friend-left-europe-suicidal

You can be abroad and be sending money to Nigeria for investment.

It's better than getting killed by Fulani herdsmen on your farm.

Namaster:
Focus on finance. Go with your internship and entry level role and shatter every KPI!

Finance is big EVERYWHERE. If you can demonstrate your competence and have a track record of success in investment banking, you'll NOT have too much problem with getting a foreign employer.

Everybody wants MORE money. If you can make it happen, you'll DEFINITELY get sponsorships.

Unless you want to build products or SAAS that solves problems, FORGET tech in the US. A lot of people in the US already have CS Degrees and they are competing for the same jobs.

Plus, several tech companies have been laying off workers like a rocket shedding its expended booster.

Focus on the one where the foundation is already laid and blow up every hurdle.

Awesome.
I'll consider this. Thank you.

Hello all.
I am a fresh Accounting graduate awaiting NYSC and I need to make a life changing decision that I will not regret.

I plan to go into Finance, Investment Banking specifically. It resonates with my degree and I can prepare for an entry level role during NYSC.

I picked up Web development during my final year. I have a solid knowledge of HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript now.

I plan to go to the USA through the study route (Masters) and stay back legally.

For Finance:
Within Nigeria, I can get an internship and later an entry level role in one of the numerous investment banking firms in Nigeria.

In USA, I'll need to do MBA. After, to get an employer to sponsor me for H1b visa is war because there are tons of capable citizens better than me. I was even told if I'm not in the STEM field, I should forget sponsorship from employers.
Even if I get sponsorship, there are only 85k H1b slots per year, in 2023, about 483k people applied.😭

---

For Tech:
Within Nigeria, I barely saw any internship opening. Remote internships in foreign companies are the worst. Within 5 hours, 1k people have applied. The job requirements alone will take me over a year to achieve. Same as normal junior job openings... Supply is more than demand.

In USA, I'll need to do Masters in Computer science(I can only work with a degree related to my field of occupation).
Coming from an Accounting background, they may not pick me. If they pick me, I'll do a hell of advanced maths courses.
I can't cope with Discrete mathematics, Linear algebra, Calculus I, Calculus II, etc.
If I manage to cope and I get an employer to sponsor me for H1b visa, I'll still face the lottery of 85k slots and overwhelming applicants. I can't spend that money and come back to Nigeria again.

Please advise me, what should I do?
I'm considering Canada but I don't know if she is better.

I hope the government will listen and make favorable policies.

Team foreign men.


This man is more useful to her than a young but useless Nigerian man.

What we're doing to you guys is paining you that you had to support marrying of "fossils" you kicked against.

Your tears is sweet.

Wealthoptulent:
Yop!

Sure na, a big private School fr estate, jus hind of Gate man oo

I know someone with a similar story too in Ibadan. Corolla car, parked in front of school, similar cost of repair, same city.
His car is a red car. Funny enough, it could be him.

Wealthoptulent:
Knock engine sho gbo!
Let me tell u a story.

My friend uses 2007 corolla, so he gave in to idea to take his kids to school, park there & take N200 bike to work place. To save cost of N1,500

Unfortunately right I front of school gate where e parked, dem moved his BRAIN BOX for him corolla, purchased new one 110k, technician collected 15k + transport.
E save N1,500 to take large 130k, e wise or e dumb?

It happened at Ibadan?

jubrilcastle:
You are just beating round the bush. All I requested for is the verse in the Qur'an where rape is permissible but here you are quoting Ayothollah Khomeini. It's like you lack understanding
That's how your daddy G.O keep feeding you guys with lies and you swallow it with great pleasure

So sleeping with a minor that has started puberty just because you married her isn't rape and paedophilia?

Thighing and having non penetrative sex with a minor wife until she attains puberty isn't sexual abuse and paedophilia?

Beating your wife as a last resort isn't assault and battery?

All these are enshrined in the quran. Deny it and I'll take time off to show it to you!

3seriez:
You feel you have given an uppercut for your mind abi. Just so you know, he is of the Shia sect. They are 10 - 15% of the whole Muslim population worldwide. Their interpretation of certain aspects of the Qur'an is debatable and most times seen as been self serving. They are most times not taken serious because of some of their doctrines.
An example here in Nigeria is their leader sheik El Zakzaky, left to others , the persecution he received from the Government was well deserved. You won't hear most Muslims outside his sect coming to his defence. That gives you an idea how most Muslims don't take them seriously. So if you're quoting their leader in Iran, na to just bust out laffin.

The point flew over your head.

It is permissible by the quran whether he said it or not.

3seriez:
Screenshot from Ayothollah Khomeini's book. A Shia. Laffin hard right now . You really quoting Ayothollah. Hahaha. Nigerians are very funny people.

He is a Muslim, yes or no?

He wasn't the one who claimed you can thigh a minor, it's the Quran. He wasn't the one who said you can beat your wife as a last option, it's the Quran.
So, why single him out?

jubrilcastle:
Would have been lovely to add the verse in the Qur'an for all to see. What you you put up there was a statement from just a mere mortal

Who has time to be reading quran?

Well, do you findings on the below screenshots.

ukaface:
2braithe you see
So simply put, y’all are activating niceness in exchange for papers. So if there’s nothing in exchange, y’all can’t be nice. You see sense?

Naija men no get sense sef, a typical example.

A relationship has to involve exchange of value.
Nobody wants to be with a liability that offers nothing.

When we ask Naija girls what they have to offer, they start gaslighting.

ukaface:
The question wey I ask you, you answer?
Abi you no know say I ask you question?
Thinking you’re better

Which question did you ask?

ukaface:
Dey there Dey find evidence
Not any typical IQ of Naija girl
Na everybody for naija know Wetin Dey sup, you too had to mention it.
Naija men know Wetin dem Dey find.
Stories plenty

Not one single sentence here answered the only one question I asked.

Na part of wetin oyinbo take better una be this

ukaface:
Of course na
When you’re in need of something you have to act extra nice to get it. Do you agree?

If you're talking about papers, you just confirmed the typical IQ of Naija girl.

Don't we have Naija men with papers dating them?

yahoodetector:
Stop writing epistle of cock and bull story that never happened yen yen yen!

The evidence is so glaring!

So many Nigerian men are married to white women both here and abroad and they are still together for years without any form of rancour...men like footballers like Mikel Obi, Odewinge, Nsofor, Emmanuel Amunike etc.

Go to Facebook and search for Nwanyi ocha and Lolo Ifunaya...the former is Swedish and the latter is Portuguese and they are married to Igbo man and everyday, they gush about how much they are so in love with their husbands.

...but Nigerian women...NEVER!

Let's take a deeper analysis...

Kate Henshaw... married a white man... CURRENTLY DIVORCED!

UCHE JUMBO married a Tunisian.... CURRENTLY DIVORCED!!

KORRA OBIDI married Dr Justin Dean (an American)...she cheated on him and blackmailed him... CURRENTLY DIVORCED!!

DJ Cuppy got engaged to an European...THEY'VE GONE THEIR SEPARATE WAYS!!!

Let's we forget...remember the lady from Edo State that was shot to death by her Italian boyfriend in Italy because she stole his money and tried to abscond it it after setting him up?

Remember the Chinese man who butchered his enstranged girlfriend from Northern Nigeria after she made him spend over N40m on her?

The evidence is so glaring! Nigerian women are the worst thing to ever happen to mankind after cancer and the holocaust!!

You hit the nail on the head

Being with Naija girls can be traumatizing and unrewarding.
Ontop of that, they'll still be feeling like the next best thing after catfish pepper soup.

If white women can be many in Nigeria the way blacks are many abroad, Naija women go dey die single.

ahnie:
Any man that cheats on his wife should be JAILED.





50percents of nigerian husbands are CHRONIC CHEATS.

See the kain mentality you get.

Na why none of your baby daddies gree marry you.

PPIA:
Person the go deliver message still come back now!

Abi you the go errand for your father no come back?

See the person I dey follow talk 🤦🤦🤦

stacyadams:
U mean tacticaly trained to flaunt court orders

The Court ordered at three different times for the jailing of the immediate past IGP for flouting court orders, nothing happened.
Bawa, the immediate past EFCC boss was supposed to be jailed for flouting court orders too, nothing of such happened.

This is Nigeria.

1stGenAmerican:
Guys on this board curse and threaten people with physical violence over arguments that stem from a discussion about something as harmless as vegetables. Guys were sympathizing in a thread with a father who killed his toddler son by slamming his head against a wall. Guys say with no shame that 12 and 13 year old children are ripe for sex and others agree.
There is just as much undiagnosed mental illness around you as there is anywhere else, probably even triple the amount.

Bring proof to back your claims up.
Except you just really wanted to badmouth men so bad.

Kobojunkie:
■ Na for Nigeria e come dey easy? Go ask that man with 5 kids already contemplating abandoning his family so.

2. Cohabitation no dey Nigeria at all? Even your pastors dey do am. So why pretend na only for oyibo man land e dey.

1. We have low income earners like bike men and bus drivers who have kids and are pushing. A lot of Nigerians survive on less than a dollar daily.
Many don't pay more than 2k naira a month for electricity. Many don't pay water bills, waste bills, cable bills, health insurance, vehicle insurance, income taxes etc.

These bills are inevitable abroad no matter the little income you earn. You now want an average man to pay these bills for himself and his other family members without the wife's support. Feeding is still there o.

2. The cohabitation that occurs in Nigeria is mostly the woman that moves in with the man. The man then incurs all financial responsibilities of them both.

But the one she's talking about abroad, the man can be the one to move into the girls' apartment. They split general bills while each of them incurs individual bills individually.....more like just roommates(except the fuckingg part).

Amotolongbo:
Many of their men are not interested in marriage, they just wanna cohabitate as a partner and fûck mate, where you take the responsibility for whatever you need and the guy takes the responsibility for whatever he needs.
The general bills are shared equally

It's not easy to be doing breadwinner abroad. You know your bills as a single person, now imagine marrying and carrying the bills of the wife plus kids. It's not easy so I don't really blame their men.

The part I don't support is them just cohabiting as Bleep mates. But then, you can even turn common law partners at a point(a win for the woman).

Amotolongbo:
If you’ve ever lived among the whites, you would know that their men are shît.
Nigerian men are the best. I’m not talking about those boys whose only asset they have is their prick.

Kora Obidi and DJ cuppy lived and dated what race again?

I live among the whites and have a first hand info about them

It's not easy to be a Nigerian man😌😌😌

Irishman22:
All those correctional officers there no get head,I don't understand why they will be there and ur fellow colleagues in a different uniform is embarrassing ur boss, tomorrow u b saying that you're in the arm squad. U see ur fellow uniform person with rifle and u get rifle u dey fear. Jonsing men

You wan compare DSS' Tavor rifle with NCS' AK 47?
You wan compare tactically trained DSS personnels with NCS trained just for guard duties?
How many NCS officers don fire gun since dem finish training?

NCS go collect woto woto!

See what the gender of Jennyclay, Siofra, Candidlady , Saphiere and Virginprincess is doing.
This fish brain gender has nothing to offer other than their overused bodies. They are still the ones that will make false rape allegations against innocent men like Dr. Olufunmilayo in UK.

If not for konji, I don't see any reason why a sane man should want this bleeding gender(except women in my family).
