I am trying to export some items and the options I've seen are very costly. Even NIPOST is charging about $70 for just 5kg. So I'm open to checking out other options

how much will it cost to get a pure breed border collie in Lagos?

Taiwosam:

hope boot Camp is going fine

Taiwosam:
Abi o. I didn't have a choice. I don't like that I'm going to be late too. But I couldn't just leave for Lag without knowing any place or anybody.

Make sure you send a mail to cover formalities

Hey guys (or should I say gals).

This is to invite all females interested in programming and want to join the Andela fellowship afterwards, to the 2nd Edition of the Andela Tech Divas meetup. Hope to see you there.

Date: 22nd August,2015, Time: 10am prompt

Please visit https://attending.io/events/techdivas to REGISTER

PS: It's just for the ladies

joshkolade:
I got a regret mail. I wasn't invited for the bootcamp! Can I re-apply??

sure

tr3y:
Guys is the application a monthly thing?
I cant seem to remember last the class i applied for but I'm certain it was in January.

it is

blueyedgeek:
Yesterday, an hackathon took place at the main campus (building cool stuff using Uber's api) and today we'll be working with apis as well.

The bootcamp has been really exciting, sitting in a class with 16 (not accounting for those that were taken to the python class) eager coders (fine babes included) really makes you push yourself. Everyday, I wake up, I'm always excited to get to bootcamp. It's really fast paced though.

I love the improv sessions as well.

Glad you're having fun

Google63:
After signing in now... See what I got... I didn't attempt any question at all. What could be wrong?

cc Erza

probably you have written the test before

pman06:
Thanks for your prompt response.

One more question please. After the 3months of training, will fellows be expected to be staying at the andela complex, or go back to their location, whichever village they came from.

It's your choice. But you gotta get to work. And on time too

pman06:
Thanks for your response.

I meant to say 2weeks bootcamp.

I came for interview on monday, but are they sending out invitations to bootcamp already?

I don't think so

pman06:
@ Erza

In regards to the 2months bootcamp, what would you suggest an attendee prepare himself on before coming?

You mean training, right? cos boot camp is 2 weeks

if it's the boot camp, I'm sure a mail was sent on the specifications for your laptop. just that, the will to learn and a good brain

same for training

in other words, anyone can get into Andela if they want to

blueyedgeek:
Just read the through the thread from 0 to 49 because of interview. Chai.

lol

When I was looking for a job, I always read through all pages so I don't ask dumb questions and I get a general feel of the forum

It could be fun at times too

Martins301:
Please house, if one does not pass the home study test, will he or she get a regret mail to indicate so?

Working towards making it into the next batch tho.

Cc: erza

Yes the person will. I for one don't think it's fair to leave things unattended to like that.

But always look on the bright side of things

TheRealAdonye:
Brutal Honesty. Nothing like it.

It's one of the best things you can do for a person

nami111:
@ erza, lol. Thanks for the feedback. Wait, lemme ask you, if you were in my shoes and planning to settle down soon, what would you do? You'll think about the money in order to stay afloat, right? Considering you are earning more presently. You said it cant stay that way for too long. Please, how long is too long? Also, hope peeps don't get dropped during the training? Sorry my questions are too much, i just don't want to enter one chance ni...lol.

Better stay where you are

nami111:
Hi @erza and toystars, I have been follwoing this thread keenly...

And I really appreciate the kind of positive feedback you guys provide on this thread.

I applied to Andela, and got a mail to do the homestudy test. I scored 630+.

But I need to get an info before I take the leap...

I learnt Andela pays 81,500naira as gross salary during 3 months training or so, but after training, what salary range should one expect?

Well, I wouldn't like that you start thinking I'm into Andela ish for the money. The reason I'm asking is that I currently make more than the salary being paid during training as my salary and would like to have my facts well before I take the leap.

I would really appreciate if you can provide this info as insiders.

Thank you.

But you are thinking about the money

I'll do you a solid though

I can say for a fact that it doesn't stay at that amount for too long

Still your choice though

NoniC:
if @DATABASEGURU says its difficult, Then what hope do mere men have? lol. Anyway, I'm about to take the test. *fingers crossed*

provided you studied the material, you got this

jeffoe:
I applied to the class 8 was dropped at the interview stage, I want to reapply to class 10, am currently serving in imo, but would be around if giving the opportunity, can I go on with the application.

When you say "would be around if given the opportunity", do you mean you're willing to shun service?

My advice? Well, 2 actually.

1. Finish service. Andela is still gonna be here by the time you're done

2. If that's too long for you, redeploy to Lagos and get on the Andela wagon

PS: Those are just my personal advice

dondondee1:
Hello Folks... Please is this andela ish worth leaving a full time paying job for? Thanks

dondondee1, it's not about whether Andela is worth it or not. It's more about whether you really love programming and want to become a well rounded developer. If you don't, it totally not worth it.

TheRealAdonye:
That's actually a Lady o. By the way, Erza, an (f) would be nice.

lol. TheRealAdonye, this never gets old. Permission to have my fun?

danvery2k6:
Thanks boss. see you there.

lol. sure thing danvery2k6
are you in the Rails class?

Erza:
well, you can always check out apply.andela.co

Also check this out http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2015/05/stack-overflow-and-andela-partner-to-provide-education-beyond-borders/

Congratulations class8. Can't wait to meet you guys on Monday

well, you can always check out apply.andela.co

Also check this out http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2015/05/stack-overflow-and-andela-partner-to-provide-education-beyond-borders/

welcome bootcampers!

andreStyles:
So say someone goes through the whole process, getting through each stage and eventually gets selected after the interview, but is a serving NYSCorps member, is it possible to defer admission into the boot-camp till NYSC discharge. Or better still, attend the boot-camp and if selected as a fellow, defer the 4year fellowship till NYSC discharge?

Well, I guess it would be easier if you are serving in Lagos. The only thing is to be honest during the interview. What's the worst thing that could happen?

circular:
Anxiety and desperation

don't worry. desperation will get you nowhere. just show them how much you're willing to learn. good luck

Sheyhunn:
Good day guy, I just joined the forum. I missed the March 2015 application deadline due to late information. Is there going to be another opportunity next time?

yup. just keep checking `apply.andela.co`

codebrew85:
please, i want to be very clear about this, how many people are eventually selected after the 3months immersion training to become Andela fellows?

do well and you're in
