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.

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.

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
