Congratulations to the many who successfully got into the Stanbic IBTC DigiTAP trainee school program.

hello sir, i was accepted into the digitap program. i have a few questions if you don’t mind. please what is the salary during the training school? after training school, do you become an ABO immediately? what is the salary for ABO?

Please house, can i pay both the SEVIS fee and US Visa fee with a domiciliary account ATM card?

excanny:
No. 5 days office, 5 days remote in every 2 weeks. And it's not a role for learners.

Alright. I'm not based in Lagos and I am still a learner so obviously, I am not a fit. Hope you find your ideal candidate

Would you be open to fully remote?
I am not skilled in C#(I do Java and JavaScript) yet but I can easily upskill if the accompanying perks is worth the hassle.

I want to buy a brand new iPhone 12 chip unlock.
Sellers, what is your price? I'll DM you.
The guy I contacted from here last night has not replied me since morning else I would have gone with him.

Do you have another one with up to 85 BH?

richebony:
Alternatively u can decide to focus on reactive services like Micronaut or Vertx

Hi there, seems you're a Java veteran.
I've been hearing a lot about reactive programming in Java of late – esp Quarkus with Vert.x. I haven't looked much into it myself so I was wondering, what makes them superior to SpringBoot?

stanliwise:
Set the content-type in JS. It’s most likely never the browser

OP, this is the answer you are lookin for here. Set the content type in your headers before sending the request

Paystack:
He's a lucky guy that's all.
He was lucky enough to build Nairaland forum when very few people in Nigeria knew what the internet was.

I don't think so. Nairaland is a product of Seun putting his nose to the grindstone until his dreams self-actualized. It didn't come to him by chance or good fortune.

Paystack:
Unfortunately he's not a visionary or someone who can make something great.

I am in total agreement here. NL was birthed same period as Facebook and it's senior to Twitter. Seun didn't think about taking it global or at least to the African market. We should have been having our own indigenous Big Tech firm in Nigeria if he had done so. The 2000's was a period when US and European VC's were doling out cash to everybody and their mom who had an internet business so I wonder why Seun didn't capitalise on that. He had a good MVP, a generous amount of daily active users yet he didn't utilise such good business opportunity.

Paystack:
For almost 20 years now Nairaland have been stagnant... same progress from say 10 years ago... no major improvements or change, anyone can scrape every inch of data on Nairaland... anyone can create millions of accounts here, anyone can build a bot to spam everywhere... Nairaland is lucky not enough companies are interested in forum style business ... if not it would have been dead and buried long ago.

Again, I'm in agreement. He's probably comfortable with the profit he's making already and doesn't see any need to scale. The same thing can be said about IBM and Oracle – tech giants in the past but they have now become a shadow of themselves. Businesses stagnate when they refuse to innovate. That's why Apple devote billions of dollars every year to research and innovation.

Edit — I do not have insider knowledge of the dynamics at play that may have stunted NL's growth. I am only speaking from an economic perspective with zero information about the company's finances and predisposition to VC money. As such, it would be unfair for me to criticize harshly; I can only speak to what may have been or could possibly be.

Congratulations! 1:1 in EE and your age is a big advantage for you. While you wait for the experts, I would advise you start preparing for scholarships: Erasmus Mundus, FSB, Commonwealth, MBZUAI, Chinese Government Scholarship, MEXT..

Goodluck Champ!

Thank you very much Sir. I have plans to attend graduate school in US, some of my senior colleagues from school have gone that route esp PhDs. I'm just looking to explore other options available to me. I appreciate your help

Literally the title.

For context, I'm graduating college in two weeks with not much industrial experience save for an internship I did last year and a first class degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I have the skill and technical expertise (very open to learning too) but 0 YOE.

I have my sights on UK and Ireland but I'll jump at any opportunity to move to Europe or North America as a skilled worker. I know it's difficult esp as I am applying from Nigeria but I have seen many guys who were in my shoes from UI, OAU and UNILAG get into Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs with little to no experience so I believe it's possible.

I'm 22 if it matters, open to all forms of suggestions that can help me attain financial security in my 20's.

cc - gerrad59, tensagazetsu, qtguru, paystack, airsaylongcome, pansophist, ednut1 and all the highly esteemed individuals who contribute productively to the development of this forum by sharing helpful and actionable tips.

Edit – I just realised I didn't list my skills. I'm a software guy, can write both backend (Express.js, SpringBoot) and frontend (React) applications. I have interest in low level programming so I write minimal C and C++, will probably get into embedded electronics in the future. I can use Linux to a reasonable extent and recently started learning AWS Cloud technologies. I'm not the best engineer out there but can certainly get the work done.

ilovedata:
the role is still very much available.

I just sent you an email

Purvan:
You never wan find work be that

Are you the same person as Failure2019?
The account is deactivated now and your account is new and you're leaving footprints similar to his.

Eddicated:
still searching

How do I reach you?

batistutajulio:
F*cked up graduate trainee programme that you'll never a reply or feedback after you applied. F*ck Interswitch, F*ck Flutterwave Recruitment team.

Interswitch aint exclusive to special people. I beat the first stage of assessments for graduate trainee in January, didnt scale through the second round of interviews because I am still a student. My papa is a nobody.

Devdevdev:
The problem is that writing frontend code and basic api with node and express isn't enough to get a job currently. The market is overflooded with people who have this exact same skill set.

This is not true.
My colleague at school writes only django and is currently employed while still being a student. There are others too who write only frontend code but are extremely skilled at it who have jobs and are students.
Myself, with my knowledge of React, SpringBoot and core CS fundamentals is unemployed partly by choice and circumstance (I prefer to graduate from university first)

The tech fields that have high demand and low supply are C#/.Net and Java/Springboot + devops and cloud(AWS/Azure) but you will never see beginners venturing into this fields.

If these fields are more rewarding, venture into them and stop complaining.

Plus JavaScript doesn't teach good programming fundamentals and most people who persuade beginners into learning this tech stack never teach them DSAs and proper, OOP which are very necessary to become a good developer whether you want to make money or not.

I agree with you on this. JavaScript is a messed up language with its use of the this keyword, prototypal inheritance and whatnot. I would never touch JavaScript if not for web programming. But that's my personal opinion and that doesn't make it the consensus. Let's hope web assembly comes to our rescue sooner.

OP, some people just want to make bank. They're satisfied with just learning how to write frontend code and backend APIs and that's fine as far as they know their onions well. The true hallmark of an engineer is getting stuff done efficiently.

Others, like myself enjoy low level programming and learn things they probably will never need and that's fine too.

You probably have zero knowledge on the inner workings of databases, operating systems, computer architecture, compilers, computer communication (networking) but think it's okay to shit on stacks.

You shouldn't decide for others which stack dey should learn.

Currently, the JavaScript ecosystem is the most easily accessible to newbies and that's why most people are starting out with it.

If you are finding it difficult to get jobs, SKILL UP rather than throwing shades at stacks.

Kvngfrosh:
How did this go…

HR insisted that the programme is specifically for graduates. She said I should email her upon graduation or reapply next time. 😭

OP, You should have simply asked someone to explain this to you instead of insisting that you're more knowledgeable than seasoned programmers who have always referred to it as a runtime.

To explain to you, JavaScript was created initially as a DOM manipulation language and it has been serving that purpose ever since. Google's V8 engine is used to parse frontend JavaScript and execute the instructions. It only works on your browser as V8 engine is embedded in Google Chrome.

NodeJs is a runtime environment that is used to execute JavaScript code outside the browser. In this case, we are taking JavaScript out of the browser and executing it with the same V8 engine but this time with NodeJs as a runtime (the browser serves this purpose in the frontend). Some modules and global variables were then added to the runtime to enable different functions which could not be done originally on the browser.

I genuinely hope you understand this, If you have further doubts, I'll be pleased to clear them.

OP, learn Spring framework (Spring Core, Spring Data, Spring security, Spring Cloud, Servlets, JDBC and Hibernate) first before moving on to Spring boot. Spring boot relies so much on annotations and abstractions which Spring would open your eyes to with XML configurations. You'd need to understand how the spring application context is initialised and how spring beans are managed by the application context. Also, dependency injection and inversion of control should be your best friends.

qtguru:
I did Spring boot in the past at ISW, nothing heavy, maybe I can assist to a degree, what about it ?

I've a graduate trainee video interview with them tomorrow Sir, any valuable tips?
I'd be graduating in June/July and I only have a surface understanding of Spring boot.
