Afolabi6046:
does the saberr test count in the recruitment process? my report doesn't look amusing at all

It counts i was having lunch with someone from learning and asked him whether this test counts and he said it is used to also narrow down the field. Take every test seriously

Couldn't that be posted in a doc, see spam post

Darey00:
PS: that being said, I'm seeing some Javascript Frameworks mentioned a lot here, does this mean that Andela uses the MEAN stack??

We are encouraged to learn different stacks some people might do MEAN stack others do other things. When you get in your primary focus will be Javascript and then eventually you can branch off.

If you want to be world class the trick is that you really have to work very hard.

I was invited twice last year to Andela interview, I went just once and couldn't scale through the interview. I never knew much about the interview until I got there and received a we are sorry to take you at this time mail from Andela.

It was painful because I came from Port Harcourt to Lagos and did not make it, but at the interview I discovered that Andela is more focused on Its EPIC (Excellence Passion Integrity and Collaboration) value than any other thing, at the interview your technical challenge is about 30%.

Again I discovered Andela lied to us, on its website when signing up, they made it clear that you don't need any previous coding experience which I think is a BIG lie because even if you scale through the interview, at the bootcamp it's more rigorous.

Scaling through the Andela bootcamp you need to understand Vanilla Javascrip, ReactJS, NodesJS, PostgresSQL, SequelizeJS and this technology is not for people that have not coded before.

For me, I think the truth is Andela need people with at least an understanding of programming so the second interview invitation I go, I didn't go because I was preparing for the bootcamp.

I have reapplied again this year and am waiting for the text. If you have Andela in mind as I do, then to be sincere you need to work your ass out and immerse yourself with learning before the time else this circle may not be your turn because thousands of youths are just as interested in Andela as you and believe me to some of them sleeping is a crime until they achieve it.

Most person come here to write but they have never received an invite from Andela, most of them can't even layout a website using CSS flexbox or CSS grid but the claim to be good. Please spend you time and prepare because if you read the Andela timetable by 9th of March people that will make it to the interview will be know.

Please don't take it to serious, I was bored and decided to write, the truth is Andela is becoming tougher because more people are becoming interested so you need to prove your awesomeness to be able to make it.

Thanks

Hi, I decided to comment on here to clear some misconceptions because unlike some of the people that comment I actually got into Andela and have been working for almost 6 months.

People come from as far as even Kano, there is a guy from Ghana here so it is not unusual for people to travel far. I don't want to agree with the statement saying Andela lied to you although they do have to remould their initial statement to newbies. It is a misconception people have that you can pick up code today and get into Andela (when they first started this was what they used to do), people have to understand the pillars have moved drastically over the space of a few years. The standard that comes in and applies is definitely higher so with that their philosophy had to change a bit (remember they take the best). The truth is when i started i didn't know any of the concepts mentioned above (no Javascript, no React), i had done C#, some SQL and a bit of HTML and CSS but when i came in and saw what i could be if i got into Andela i was determined to give 100%. I told myself it was this job or nothing (got in after my first try ) so i pushed myself to beyond my limits (body especially) so i could get in and I continue to push myself every day now React, Redux,Typescript, Node JS and the list goes on lol.

The advice I can give you is:
- Go out and learn, look on twitter they are a lot of Andelans on there.Look at their repos see some of the stuff you can learn (git naming conventions).
- Adopt a learn first mindset for all types of code (Understand what you really want to achieve when you write out a task).
- Adaptability (be adaptable don't just select one language and think it is this language or nothing).

I will pass by to check on people's progress if they have questions I can answer.

I swear the literacy level in naija is worrisome. An underage cannot give consent. If a 10 year old girl ask you to bleep her will you do it because she is the one asking you to do it? Also, do you understand, principal and his student? what sort of mutual consent is that?

Illiteracy is a disease lol God help us

Jaykolo10:
What if there's a mutual agreement between both parties... the girl was actually enjoying the moment naa

That is not the point if it was your daughter I doubt you would be singing the same tune. The parents of this girl have placed their ward with this man, he is in a position of trust and has vehemently abused it. Not only has he had sex with her (a minor) but has had the audacity to expose and distribute video with a minor (offense number 2). He should be punished severely

What you guys don't know is that, IMDB is like Wikipedia, anyone can go there and edit anything.

I beg my people read the article, apparently they (the scientists) are referring to tiny amounts. Large doses of flatulence are poisonous please don't go stick your nose in somebody else's ass. Also it has not been tested on humans plus this paper is 3 years old.

No get sense

Does this elevation (D0 to D4) take place within the 4year span?

If you are good yes

dyydxx:
Is there any current Andela Fellow in the house that can please confirm if this is true?

1. The Andela fellowship is structured into 5 levels, D0, D1, D2, D3 and D4.

2. D0 fellows are the fellows in training, they are not paid $500 a month. They receive roughly 100, 000 naira. Boarding is not guaranteed, it depends on availability of scare bed spaces. It is also not completely fee, fellows staying in the company provided accommodation pay about 12, 000 per month, deducted from their salaries. So a D0 fellow can expect to get slightly less than 90, 000 naira monthly

3. D0 phase can take anywhere from 6 to 8 months depending on individuals, D1 comes immediately after, the salary is not significantly higher than D1, it is currently at about 120, 000 naira after accommodation and laptop deductions. ( The cost of a brand new $1700 Macbook pro which serves as the primary workstation of every fellow is deducted from their salaries)

4. This phase of the fellowship typically lasts 8 months, as a fellow must have worked for a certain amount of hours for the company before consideration for promotion to the next level

5. The salary jump for the next level of the fellowship is significant, fellows in D2 currently earn about 250, 000 (without accommodation or macbook payment deductions).This phase also lasts about 8 months

6. D3 salary is about 380, 000 naira without above mentioned deductions. There is no D4 in the fellowship yet but the salary is projected to be about 600, 000 naira.

7. How does Andela get paid? It’s straightforward. Companies working for Andela pay for developers at pretty much the same rate they pay for developers based in America BUT Andela pays fellows local market rates. Andela currently charges about $5000 for D1 fellows and up to $7500 for D2 or D3 fellows

8. Fellows are not paid in dollars.

9. What if a developer decides to leave before completing his time in the fellowship? Fellows are required to sign a bond before joining the fellowship. If a fellow decides to leave immediately after training, he has to pay $15, 000. A fellow is free to leave 24 months after training. The amount to pay is gradually scaled down on this 24 months continuum

Very good info. however there is one D4 and 2 more on the way.
