Albertone:


The high turnover is paired with more recruitment which makes it easier to break into unlike tech.

Tech is more accessible to break in than finance. This is a global phenomenon as tech is egalitarian, and cares less about the school, grade and course of study. Finance and its close sister Law are among the most elitist careers on earth. KPMG does not accept folks with two sittings in WASSCE and strictly five credits. Some finance companies discriminate based on university. Others discriminate based on grades. Tech is easier to break for literally anyone serious about learning.

Finance is an elitist industry o. If not tech, many folks from poorer backgrounds would not have earned high salaries, ditto those with lower grades from the university.

I guess we'll just have to go for whichever we have an advantage in breaking into.

Then none of you were truly into real time tech if this is the best you lot could fall back to.

Gospel truth!

they probably never finished HTML and CSS tutorial, the highest role they ever got is probably an intern at a new startup

Albertone:
Junior developer roles now require 3-5 years of work experience with knowledge requirements of a whole IT department.

Me I have dropped tech already o.
I'll look into investment banking or write ICAN and go the big 4 way.

I was learning tech so I can japa. But if God says I will japa, I'll definitely do with my investment banking or auditing knowledge.

if you are older than 25 years the Big 4 wouldn't take you

Earthquakes:
Every IT expert I know has either left or planning to leave, leaving only starters or inexperienced.
Same in medical field, I wonder where the future of Nigeria lies

Even in finance field very few are currently available. The Big 4 is filled with a lot of work because most of their staff have japa'ed.

A good example of the bolded is tech4mation and Timart

Sheuns:
Nigerian Startups will be paying millions of naira in salaries while generating way less than what they pay in revenue. Most startups hope on funding to stay afloat. I think this is wrong in running a business. Fine offices, big salaries and very little revenue.

Requirements vary across the four of them. I have seen one that accepts < 29 years. Another accepts < 27
