It's consistency and having the zeal to learn, most of these things just require focus and time, nothing special. but join sha

Hello sir I just clicked the Slack group link and found out that it has expired. Pls can you post a new link to your group. Thanks

So after leetcode we will still have to prepare for behavioral interviews. Who the Bleep made this shit.

I find this particular kind of interview much more difficult than the technical ones. With technical I can tell if I am going to pass or fail by even looking at the question but with this you never can tell. You can have the interviewer laughing and smiling with you only to fail later.

I have failed two now after clearing the technical interview rounds with 100 percent scores. So annoying

hello sir pls i am waiting for your input on your other thread. Pls i will highly appreciate if you will honor me with a reply thanks.

Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. . Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

Hello Tensa, I am one of your ardent follower sir.
I started learning python early this year, but due to hustle and other distractions I stopped learning,

honestly at first i was learning python for data analytics but then I learnt that Excel and other stuffs related to data analytics are not my thing, what i am really passionate about is Backend web dev, and after following your posts here, I learnt that web dev either backend or frontend with Python is just unnecessary waste of time.

I decided to follow your advice and go for PHP, one of my Oga at work is also a PHP dev so learning PHP wont be an issue for me since I have a mentor who can guide me.
Now the issue is I prefer Backend than frontend, please i need guidance, especially on the right path to take and also the roadmap I should follow.
After getting comfortable with PHP which step am i going to take next?
Your input will be highly appreciated sir.

America giving false hope to Poland.

Blame games! Today it's IPOB causing Fuel and food scarcity! Nigeria under Buhari is dead and Buried

hajimosho:

° Firstly, he is not a Muslim, his aim is to cause disaffection towards your fellow ikhwaan and make you judge them unjustly.

° A practicing Muslim knows fully well that Salaat is Fard and leaving it intentionally for any reason whatsoever is an act of Kufr.

° Don't engage in discussions on matters of religion those who take your Deen for a joke. They are in manifest error.

thank you brother. Jazakallahu Khair.
Ramadan Kareem

HeavenVGate:
And so? If I go to Church no one can stop me not even sultan in sokoto. Yes I'm a YORUBA Muslim.

and who even said you will be questioned? Talkless of stopping you. I already know you are a Yoruba Muslim from your post, because most of you are just Religious hypocrites. You will never announce moon sighting or lead others in prayers.

HeavenVGate:
Stop making Islam so tedious in the faces of Christians. That's why I like Christians I just can't convert ni. With this, you can't win a single soul to Islam and I beginning to believe that those who converted to Muslim was done using force or some kind of juju because no one will hear all this and would still wanna join. I'm a Muslim, when I'm in my shop, I can't leave it and go to pray because of my customers, are you saying I should not bother to fast at all? Bullshit! Anything quote outside Qur'an, I won't accept it be it from whoever said it. Bullshit!

skipping prayer because of customers typical Yoruba Muslim. You like Christianity but you can't convert? Hahahaha stop stressing yourself, by mere liking it, you have already converted. Oga you are an apostate. Better start going to church on Sundays to cement your new found belief.

Ninetails:
Ok... I live in the North. Adamawa

Jimeta or Yola?
You can come to Fast Track Fitness near NNPC bank Road. Let's chop iron together bro

Nigeria is gone, dead and buried! Imagine APC blaming PDP after 7years in power!

Crucialgem:
Nawa ooo this one does not even want to feel the fasting at all, you dey enjoy ooo

lol bro, we thank God o. And also it boils down to preparations, Ramadan Mubarak.

Trios:
You had so much indeed.. Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan Mubarak sister. May Allah accept our fasting as an act of Ibadah.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
you eat all these and you want to fast? You people funny sha, not eating lunch is the definition of fasting in Islam.

Yep I have to eat calorie dense food and loads of protein, also I eat dinner around 12am then wakeup by 3:30am and eat my normal diet. That's basically fasting, you don't eat lunch and drink anything from 4:50am to 6:30pm.

Worst President in the History of Nigeria.
We need Endsars 2.0 to send a strong message to all the ruling class, enough is enough! We the masses need to send a very strong message, Something similar to the Arab spring. How can we be this docile?? Suffering and lamenting on SM.
Something needs to be done!

Didn't take a picture, but I ate bread with peanut butter, 3 eggs and a blend of milk, banana, groundnut and dates.
I don't want to loose all my gains.

Khalifaibb:
So many Muslims like me tomorrow are going to have nothing to eat before and after fasting tomorrow, is there a possibility of leaving it or what can one do In such situations?

Am already starving and our only hope comes from Allah brothers and sisters what can you suggest for us the less privileged?

Are we allowed to leave the fasting?

Fasting is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.
Haven't you attended an Islamic School in your life? Bro as a Muslim it's a must as in it's compulsory to fast! Allah will never allow you to fast without providing you Food for Iftar and Suhur. Just put your trust in Allah.

Since Nairaland is dominated by the Southerners in Nigeria they will label him a terrorist,
but this is the the same thing going on between Russia and Ukraine and still the dumbfuvks will slam Russia and support Ukraine.
The only reason is the hate for Islam and Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Just as your Kano or Bayern has a president right?
What a clown..

Ramzan Kadyrov is not a President hahahahah lol! The Only Republic with a President in a Russia is Ingushetia, and the President tag is just ceremonial

FERNANDEZISBACK:
It's like a subject of Russia..
A republic... independent to some certain level..and can make decisions on its own..
To some extent..

But their CinC is Putin right?

FERNANDEZISBACK:
And Russia is fighting alone..with chechens terrorist right?

Tell me why have Putin not captured kyiv despite the shelling?

is CheChenya not part of Russia Again?

franchasng:
The world is coming together to defeat Putin a bloodthirsty dictator.


Invasion of Ukraine by Putin is not supported by Russians, many Russians don't even know that Russian soldiers are shelling Ukraine. The few that got to know this are mad already and plotting to take down Putin causing Putin to rotate his domestic staffs everyday.


Putin's special advicer that helped him get his first job at the Kremlin have resigned and condemned Putin as he fled Russia with his family.


Join the global volunteer against war and lets save innocent children in Ukraine being killed daily by Putin the vampire.


I am donating every week to help Ukraine because I have a beautiful son and I won't want he to suffer such pains in life. whatever the reason is, Putin must order a ceasfire and go back to peaceful dialogue.




To see what we are doing all over the world to save Ukrainians, kindly check this website link and see how you can help.

Spread love not war!

Please sir have you donated to the Tigray people of Ethiopia?
Your fellow black Africans, they have been suffering for morethan a year.

CoronaVirusPro:
Too late!

Russians will be singing a different song in 3 months time.

Harsh economy will gradually reset their brains,

11,000 Rubbles is about $50 now, and it will only get worse

How much is 11k naira to USD how much is 11 Korean won to USD? How much is 11k Japanese Yen to USD?
Go and Educate yourself, not every country is tied to the dollar, like your import reliant country. If e sure for Europe and US let them stop buyin Russian gas na.

Cruise Country!

LordIsaac:
Imagine you become a director or permsec in that federal ministry in the next 25 years! FG work requires patience and it is more stable, if you asked me. For instance, if in the next 15 years you become bedridden (God forbid), FG will still pay you pension till you leave this world or recover. Compare this with the "self-employed" souls which this same situation may spell total doom for them. That's my simple take going by yokur 100k per month intake.

You have poverty mentality and if you didn't change you will never be rich in your life.

Which one be Director or Permsec how much is even their salary that you are saying self employed soul will suffer if they get bedridden. Without any form of Corruption a Fulani man selling cows is far richer than a Director or Permsec in a Federal Ministry except if you advising the guy to take the job and loot!

Take the Job and save enough and Japa!

Cruise Country.

rickyrex:
ahahahah trying to console yourself with hope. Bro we have never cried for police or army recruitment... We no be nomadic people like you. You saw how police public relation office headed by our own Frank MBA was begging for Igbo and the south to join police saying the north constitute majority of those that applied. What else do you want to denote from that. We are not low brains like you people that can't not manage common politics that you have been controlling for many years let alone think of been industrious and business initiator. Your people from the north been promoted in the police force thinks more money brings more women and children..... Giving birth up and down like rats. A whole house of Representatives member with 28 children shame on you people. Come and shine my shoe cause thats what your people know how to do more. Two things are involved right now either we head the helm of affairs of this country or you let us go. You can't be shouting one Nigeria and at the same time be playing inequality in power rotation. That is been hypocract

ok now we shall see 2023 is not far for those still breathing

rickyrex:
you just make me laugh... Did you not see that even the last police recruitment north indicated more interest than the south. Let alone army. Bro your northern people arr very poor and backward. No source of employment or livelihood there. You can see for yourself nah. I've been to north on a several occasions and what I see make me wonder how you people seek for political power and still be the poorest in the north. Dangote is the richest man in Africa that came from the poorest part of Africa .... How do you see that. Bro igbos are not much, a bomb in Kano is enough to get a score. This is not,1966 war... This will be a war the involved well exposed individual who already have weapons hiding in their house. North are dwelling on the resources of the south else they would have even be the ones to call for seperation

You have a very low IQ! Now when these recruits finally got promotions and start heading various agencies you lots will start crying that you have been Marginalized. This is not the 60's the Northerners are equally angry and we have the Numbers so forget it! Keep on destroying your land if you start any war, we will volunteer to Join the NA to help you in destroying your region. Since the war you so much want will happen in your domain. And the ones outside will also be in a very tight situations maybe living in IDPs sef. Careful what you wish for yourself.
God Bless Nigeria God bless Arewa.

OH! Nigeria a country full of tears and sorrows

caracas:
See this one, have you heard of nuclear bomb? Your numbers would be nothing n irrelevant if ipob decides to nuke your asses....

like Ojukwu did in the 60s right

rickyrex:
as funny and unrealistic it might look... Today it took Taliban nothing to take over Afghanistan. Well aggression beget aggression. If we can be sincere with ourselves when it all started in anambra, it was all a peaceful protest until Nigeria army took lives away which led to retaliation. There was no time it was recorded ipob ganged up against any force untill now. The hate towards the Biafra movement by non igbos is what is making it hard.. if you ask other region if they will like to pull out of Nigeria I bet you everyone will like to go away but because one region is seeking for this movement alone that is why you people see them as terrorist or enemies of this country. Be sincere with yourself why are people looking for away to run out of this country?

Look Nigeria is one. And stop citing Taliban because IPOB can never overrun and take over the East talkless of Nigeria. We have Enough Recruits bro. Come to the North and see young able men that want to Join the NA. You guys don't stand a Chance. Or you think you guys can attack Kano Kaduna Adamawa and go scot free You don't even have the man power. I swear Buhari is very soft on IPOB one thing I hate so much about him.

rickyrex:
you sound like Nigeria is more stronger than other countries whose government have been dethroned. Bro Taliban are the latest in record who took over from Afghanistan government by force and not even US army could over come them. You talked about Boko Haram, bro hope you are not among those saying Boko Haram have been tactically defected. Just look as how unhomely north looks like... And this are the same people ruling this country. You have not make your house welcoming, you want to make another man's house welcoming. Is that not foolishness if the highest order. The so called Nigeria army have been over streached for the passed few years courtesy of the north and east unrest

Can you just listen to yourself for a moment pls.
So because you guys feel marginalized, you decided to take up arms against the Govt and expect the govt to call you guys for a peace talk and grant your wishes. Then after granting your wishes another group will spring up with thesame tactics. It doesn't work that way, and talking about Taliban, Majority of Afghans want Taliban to rule so no biggie, but if you think you Ipob has the capacity of the Taliban then go ahead and overrun Nigeria. We the Northerners are firmly behind the government and wouldn't mind joining the army to flush you guys out. And remember the war will be fought in your region so I think you stand to loose alot. A Tiny state like Gombe has more army recruits than the whole East. So if you think fighting the government is the way forward then continue. You can't attack a state in the North, Southwest and go scot-free the inhabitants of that place will never allow it to happen. We are not Cultist and we will never think as Cultist, kill people and demand for peace talk. Continue now let's see who will get tired after 20years.

rickyrex:
weather you like it or not but the police men that died and the men that will be later killed have a family looking up to them. Its not about the scores that you are trying to defend but if you reason deep what the dude is saying, is for the government and the people who feel marginalised to JoJo and end on a win win. Think of a way out and not to fuel issues. Use your brain

Hmm! If I am the President I will keep on recruiting and deploying different units of the Police to the affected states and it will not be in a soft way!! Lets see who is going to get tired.
Shekau couldn't defeat the FG talkless of some few armed cultist!
You can't give oders to the government because you don't have the monopoly of Violence
