Hello bruv. thanks for this info. I’ve been into DevOps for a while now and I’m looking for a place to start practicing, even if its an internship just to get industry experience. Can you suggest options, can I contact you via email
DevOPs is actually in high demand globally bro. Why limit yourself to doing just internship when you can practice professionally for many firms globally?

If you have Telegram or Telegram X installed on your phone, just search for "Remote Jobs", you will find a few groups for finding remote jobs from anywhere in the world.
Definitely some of the jobs you will find will need your skills, just go ahead and follow the application procedures.

Note: You may want to refine your resume to match standards used in the country you're applying to. For example, US firms won't take your resume seriously if it looks like those you use in Nigeria, they'll just laugh at you if you list crazy contents like religion, date of birth, local government area, marital status etc on your resume, nobody cares about all that in the countries I've been to, its only Nigeria that things are done weird. So, you may want to Google up sample resumes for the countries you're looking into.

Goodluck bro.

Nah. It is the easiest actually.
Join upwork and watch some youtube videos to send proposals. It’s just inputing data sometimes in an excel sheet. You get paid 4,5,6$ an hour on upwork to do this.. you can even get a full-time job

If you want a good paying career tho consider the others as well but yea you can start out with data entry. Customer support is also easy as well and funny enough has lots of job postings on the remote sites, try that too, refine your resume.
All the best!

Im not aware of specific telegram links for UI/UX jobs, I just know there are a few telegram links for all forms of remote jobs and you can scroll through all the daily postings to find the ones your skill-sets match and apply to them.
From within telegram, just use the search box and search for "Remote Jobs" or other similar keywords and you will find existing groups you can join where remote jobs are advertised daily and most times they don't care about your geographical location.

Below is a screenshot of what one of them looks like.

Cheers

Good morning bro.

I was following one guy's thread that just landed in America and I saw your comments and it was very insightful..

I have a question to ask you if you don't mind. I'm currently processing my immigrant Visa..

I've sent you pm through the email on your profile but I don't know if that's still accessible by you. Just let me know if there's any other way to contact you.

Memories.

Mine was way back 2019. I think around August/September, I got a gig with a US company, working as a transcriber.

1. Transcriber.
2. A friend gave me the connect.
3. Around $300 per month.
4. I enjoy the work flexibility that the gig provide, as I can work whenever and wherever i want. But there are peak hours(8pm -5am) though, when audios files are in infinite flow.

Working remotely is one of the best feeling ever. I mean, the flexibility, liberty to work at your own convenience, earning in hard currencies etc. You don't have to subject yourself to the many hassles, inconvenience and frustrations that are accompanied with onsite jobs.

Remote job is bae wink



I Love Krabby Patty.. tongue


Can You teach Me more on transcribing.....Am a novice in it and I got ba contract recently

My ex-wife was named Cindy so I had to look up your profile picture. My God you are truly fine, and fit, as though you exercise regularly, which is very rare for Nigerian women.

I'd work remotely with you any day ha ha.

Sorry I had to turn down the request for PM. I prefer we all learn from.one another here. Plus, I've been burnt in the past by others via PMs.

You made a lot of sense in the part I deleted.

I'm curious though about the part I preserved.

Would you mind elaborating?

I cant tell much about Cybersecurity jobs from Nigeria because I dont live there and don't know much happening there after being here for almost two decades now, but I think there are strong possibilities, especially now that the world is dealing with covid-19 and everyone is working remotely.
If Indians living in India still get cybersecurity jobs with major firms in different parts of the world, then Nigerians in Nigeria should not be left out. Like I said, I had friends in Nigeria working in the IT space for firms all around the world, but not in the Cybersecurity line, but most of them have now left Nigeria.
Its ok, you can PM me.
Cheers

You can get cyber security jobs in Nigeria BUT except for a few sectors the spend on cyber security by companies is not that much.

There is a greater opportunity for cyber security money outside Nigeria.

There are also sectors that I prefer not to name that spend a lot on cyber security in name, but much of that money goes to godfather's and godmother's and not actual cyber security infrastructure....please read between the lines...some things are best left unsaid or spoken of in parables.
