Job Prospects For A Junior Developer In Nigeria by Codysseus: 4:19pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
Hello sirs n madams in the house. Few weeks back, I bought a core i5 PC so I could start learning frontend development and acquire more skills as time goes on. But I was having power issues so I managed to get a generator set. I'm firmly on the path to learn the required frontend technologies but I'm worried as I've learned on this forum that it's hard to get a job as a junior developer in Nigeria and that feeling is discouraging because I invested my savings to start this journey. What advice and suggestions do you have for me towards getting a remote job or would you suggest I consider other niches in software development. Thanks for your advice. |

Before you join the gengs that say job is hard to find. Apply to atleast 100 jobs and attend lots of interviews. 6 Likes |

Honestly I feel I should sometimes share my story but I am not where I want to be yet. Op I started learning to code February last year. As you see me so, I don't have up to a year of work experience. It took me 2 weeks to get my first job when I started looking and it took around 2 months to get my first remote job. I have been working remotely since last year and I am what you will call a junior. I also know other juniors who have had no problems finding jobs at all. Learn the frontend well. When I got my first job I knew only frontend, build projects solid projects o not to to do app and calculator. Apply to jobs on job sites. There's always vacancies for programmers everyday. You can use LinkedIn, indeed and hotnigerianjobs to research. 14 Likes 1 Share |

tensazangetsu20: Indeed.com have not been satisfactory to me in the sense that most of the remote job are in US or Europe and I hardly see remote jobs that are globally worldwide. The same delima is what I facing with LinkedIn. I live in the North so getting local jobs for myself may have been easy if I live in Lagos or Abuja or Oyo but I don't live in any of those places and I can't just relocate just like that. Please you should guide me how to search for remote jobs on Indeed or LinkedIn that everybody from any part of the world can apply. |
Re: Job Prospects For A Junior Developer In Nigeria by tensazangetsu20(m): 6:36pm On Jul 12, 2021 |

tensazangetsu20: Some of them openly declare you must have a US citizenship and other documents like that and I have seen it many times. I don't know what to do. I want to ask did you get your remote job by applying for a job that says US or other Europe country or Canada. |
