Living In Germany as a Tech-bro by boiz2men(m): 11:53am On Jul 25, 2021
Here, I will document my experience in Germany as a tech bro.


One thing to note as a tech-bro in Nigeria with a desire to work in Germany is that Germany needs developers and they are losing local devs to Silicon Valley companies.

The job market in Germany is nonsaturated and constantly growing.


Techies are poached and you can hardly find a loyal employee in any of the tech companies, if you do find one, they are very loyal and would have worked for up to 5 years or more at the said company.

There are a couple of sites to apply from.

Here's one: https://relocateme.eu/

Stackoverflow is also a great resource for such information.

If you also have a friend who lives and works in Germany, he could send your cv as a referral. The chances are a lot higher.

I will be updating this thread with more information about landing a tech job in Germany or Europe.

Minimum of 3 in the last 3 years. This is of course if you want to relocate. However, there might be internship positions remotely but the govt of Germany frowns at remote positions.

While math is essential, it's not a mandatory requirement. I am average in Math but I can code. Pick up the coding today if you have the desire and do it. You will most definitely love it.

Nice thread...
@boiz2men how possibly can someone become successful as a "tech guy" without a degree? OR
Is there any other certifications that can replace it?
