show me a developer that has less than 1 year of experience and he his working with a foreign company?

A lot bros. A friend just got a 3000 dollar a month job. He stated teaching himself last year. Go on twitter you will see Nigerian developers small boys of between 18 to 24 getting foreign jobs.

tensazangetsu20:

Bros yeah but then as a developer you can't just apply to one job and sit down. You have to be applying to at least 30 jobs a day. If it takes 100 job applications to get 10 interviews. 500 job applications will bring in 50 interviews. Common one can land one job out of 50 interviews and you have just 200 applicants for one job not bad. Some fields 3000 people to one job. The good thing you are in a field that the jobs exist. On angel list alone there are over 32000 jobs. On Upwork between 6 am and now more than 600 jobs have been posted. Those are just two sites o out of thousands. I never even mention linkedin and indeed and co.

I am not saying their is no job as a matter of fact I have more than 3 offers in the space of 2 month of pays not less than 250k net, but the bigger roles in the game (like that 800k and foreign jobs) requires those years

their is a guy here on nairaland he his just 16 years with 3 years of experience as a developer and he his working with a remote company earning 2500$ per month

lol, Twitter stories for the Gods, don't be deceived those stories are as fake as anything. if you are a developer you will understand the more.

You validate my point. See the pay you have. Doctors with 10 years of experience in Nigeria dont even see such salaries and 3 job offers in a space of 2 months. If you have the skills needed, you will never suffer to get a job.

yes your point is valid, I am just trying to butteress is that, years of experience is needed to get higher pay, but with the skill you can get the job

Just went through Angel list.
Is your location (having a profile from Nigeria) not an issue?

Do you know someone that has gotten a job on Angel list?

Its not. Nobody cares where you are from when it comes to tech they only care about your competence.

I have been their but it's been a while, I will check back later though, I want to rewrite my CV.

tensazangetsu20:

Bros I am also from the maritime field and it's not something in demand. You will suffer to get a job there. Mechanics can easily get a job but the salary is rubbish. Dealerships pay like max 150k. That's a very useless salary. I am talking about real skills needed in today's world. The jobs are there and are advertised. Betking is currently looking for a data analyst. The salary is above 800k. How many people have the skills to fill the jobs. You will be surprised to go to the interview and see just 5 people.

Angel list alone has over 32000 tech related jobs listed. People are swapping good jobs like mad. It depends on the industry o and the skills you have if it's in demand or not. The whole world is changing now.

The great thing about jobs in demand fields or that require specialised skills is that they can't use connections to fill them. Betking can't employ a data engineer on connections. It would break their business. They need someone who would hit the ground running immediately. The jobs are there but the question is do you have the skills to do the job?

Its why one has to work on improving his skills cuz when the job opportunities come its helps. My current job was looking for mechanical. I studied electrical. But my mechanical skills are really good. That's how I aced through. My interviewer was quite impressed

Relocate to Lagos

Will you accommodate him. I want to relocate to Lagos but no way to do that.

His colleagues are in lag. If you don't have friends in lag, you must have a problem

That's a stupid thing to say. Not having a friend in Lagos is now one of the problems in Nigeria

Halfamilli:
How else do I say this and not look desperate? It's been eleven months after NYSC, and no job. It seems there might not be light at the end of the tunnel, I think I'm losing already.

I pray for depression to stay far away.

TRASH! HOW MANY NIGERIAN GRADUATES ARE TRULY EMPLOYABLE?

Whose fault is it?

Some of us who finished from STEM are the worst hit. We still had to pay heavily to acquire IT skills after spending years in school without useful practicals.

Just like someone asked earlier, what's the essence of going to tertiary schools to spend years then?

Huncle, leadership is everything.

Any society with failed leaders is useless

Nigeria, as we know it today, is a lost opportunity.

A country that cannot fix its oil sector, its highest revenue earner. Funnily enough, the NNPC, the state-run corporation that is supposed to fix it, is busy building hospitals.

In the end, they will incur losses year in, year out. Nobody asks questions, not even the self-acclaimed petroleum minister

That's where we found ourselves today.

I don't think that the brains of Nigerians have developed well enough for self-rule.

If it had, Nigerians wouldn't be looting money to hide it in advanced societies whereas their people suffer.

The white man stole from Africans and took their loots, including artefacts, back home. In contrast, Nigerians steal from Nigeria to take it to the white man to keep for them.

It's hard making it as a Nigerian because everything works against you.

It sounds odd but he is right. That is where you will go to for most aptitude tests, interviews, exams and where companies whose recruitment processes are quite meritocratic are domiciled. Where I resided for my first job after university, a senior colleague from my department currently stays there (he also stayed there during his MSc from Unilag) even though our school is not in Lagos. The OP should at least have a friend in Lagos where he can reside for at least six months, this is esp useful during aptitude tests' stages (the highest paying jobs have aptitude series of aptitude tests) unless he intends to lodge in hotels every time he is in Lagos

Anytime I read a Nigerian mentions an opportunity to generate millions to other people, my instincts kick-in that it is largely fraudulent or something is fishy. Generally, people will not tell the public of an opportunity they make so much money unless they intend to gain from it (selling the idea not the product aka "pay me to train you" ).
