You are very naive, you are making a decision because of your friends. If you guys switch position I'm very sure they will not turn down that offer. It will shock you that those so-called friends would ghost you when they make it and you will live to regret it. Person wey get head no dey get cap, they say.

hot death?

yeah

airsaylongcome:
Yes AI will lead to the loss of some jobs just like Word processing led to the near-death of "typist". But not a widespread loss of jobs, especially in IT, as a lot of doomsday sayers are predicting. For the Nigerian market, has there really been a slow down? Or is there a competence gap between available jobs and the talent pool. I almost definitely don't think AI has had an impact on job losses in the Nigerian tech space. Not yet at least and possibly not as impactful

Oh but I think the Nigerian market is not yet a big market for tech because we have few investors on the industry. If you go to linkedin, most jobs I see there have expired and those that show up are with a shitty pay requiring humongous skillset.

This is a test for Amorim if he will be a good fit for the United job. If he manage to beat City he has my support.

airsaylongcome:
So wait a sec, you honestly think GenAI tools like ChatGPT has led to the slump in the job market? Really? The market is cooling because a lot of employers were "over subscribed" in terms of employee hire. So it's purely a business decision to right-size their labour force and not a decision driven by the near ubiquitous presence of AI

I understand your analysis. Post COVID the market has nose dived. But we should not downplay the effect of AI however little. What can you say about the Nigerian market. What's the cause of their predicament?

Karleb:
You are wrong.

How am I wrong, jobs aren't as many like before due to this AI hit. Especially all these yeye frontend , backend shit

Karleb:

Funny but true

He's an alpha male

What he has in his CV is similar to what ETH had when coming to United. It's only a matter of time when fans start throwing insults at him. He needs to be ruthless with those rotten players in United otherwise he's gonna end up like his predecessors.

Imagine na black dem use against black

Nigeria is not finished. Maybe you are.

People are still getting good jobs.

I consult for a financial institution in Nigeria on enterprise tech solution and I know young guys (between 24 to 27 years) getting jobs every week, travelling out on holiday to western world, balling big and coming back. Most of them work remotely, enjoy their lives. Companies abroad headhunt most of them, and the bank keeps recruiting with good pay in Nigeria standard.

These guys easily go to any embassy and get visa. I witness it. These guys choose and pick jobs. Banks place them on special salary scale, different from the operations guys. They have enviable perks. Banks send them on trainings in western worlds and they never think of japa. They go and come back, even collect fat estacode.

I am not talking about any dicks and harrys, I am talking about tech guys, which is my turf . Come to Island in Lagos and see for yourself.

So, if you are finished as an individual, there are some people killing it big in Nigeria, and hey, they are not politicians but they have skillsets which you lack.

And hey, how is Chile where you are slaving?

How many folks have these privilege you re talking about. There is a high barrier for entry level folks here in the tech field. Those guys doesn't represent the sample of space of Nigerian job seekers in the tech industry.

It's only a matter of time when these AI will be almost capable of solving almost all issues and besides your experience using a premium subscription will be better than when using free mode. And there's also the part of prompting the AI to get what you want from it.

I am experiencing the same issue and they haven't replied my messages. My funds have been stucked since last week.

Webstorm

Those ones are just catching cruise joor. Who does that on a live show.

Stupid statistics, where will 1200 feed an adult per day? What will it buy??
If you happen to eat out, just expect to spend at least times fournof that per day if you really want to eat balanced diet.
Rubbish!

Can you mentor me?

Can you mentor me too?

TheBillyonaire:
There is a very simple process. You can step outside the body and move like a robot and go out there and become limitless, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscience. Outside of the body, we are capable of godlike abilities.

That's what those that put their legs on the wall does

I have been a nairalander for years now with another account but I created this one for the purpose

I am 41 without any accomplishment. Single and broke.

I have a low self esteem that I am always afraid of the unknown. I have been fighting this for years but to no avail

My friends I started with in the industry are doing very well but I am still at the bottom.

I missed so many opportunities because I was thinking I could not handle it.

Even though my friends believe in me but fear always ruin it for me.

I hardly apply for jobs and get interviews because of fear of failure.

I have worked hard, learnt so many things and master of none.

My industry is now saturated and to get a job now is very much harder.

And if I want to get another job I will be starting out afresh and companies are looking for experienced people.

The knowledge I have is already phasing out.

I am full of regrets and confused. I feel I have wasted my life.

Can I still make at this age? How do I remove this low self esteem? I am getting depressed as everyday passes by.

I am currently working in a startup

Show me way, me sef need skills
