Pls can I know more about the survey?

jetson06:
That is a bloody lie. 85% of jobs in Nigeria including tech jobs is based on man know man.
Stop all this capping abeg. It is in abroad that you get the job based on merit.

MT:
You lied.

Tech job is almost entirely on merit

You want to recruit a mediocre who will expose your entire data via incompetence ?

If you are worth your salt, there are plenty jobs out there. I laugh when people talk about AI when they do not even understand how it works . AI is a platform that could be leveraged on.

Tech jobs are over rated in Nigeria. A country that can't boost of year round electricity supply can't be talking about tech.
Go outside Nigeria you will enjoy tech jobs.
If you see how AI is revolutionizing businesses in Asian countries like China,Japan,Korea and across Europe you will know better.
You are expressing this frustration cos you are still in Nigeria.

IT guys across the west dey ball big time.ask anyone close to you that lives abroad.

I met a guy at phone repair arena sometime last year.The guy brought a top notch Samsung phone for minor troubleshooting.(Just unlocking and restore)
He signed in and gave the guys in the repair dept the phone after telling them what the problem was.just to use an OEM software to unlock the phone then do factory restore.
The only solution the so called IT guys adopted was to flash the phone erasing all the vital files and information in the phone without telling the owner.

Meanwhile,The guy told me that he mistakenly locked the phone and it could not boot.He was in dubai then so he went to a repair outlet.He signed in at the outlet.
The guys simply plugged the phone to a device and in less than a minute the phone was unlocked and all factory settings restored without loosing a single file.All personal and phone files were intact.He took his phone,signed out and left.

It was the same thing that happened while in naiJa unfortunately our NaiJa backyard IT guys flash craze comot for d phone head
No be small matter that day oo

Omo..u re right ooh.

Thank God I didn't invest my all on learning tech then, I put 80% of my time on learning physical trade and now I am happy I did.

Tho still learning my tech on a low

dauntless15:
sure dm me

press9jatv:
having a LinkedIn account doesn’t work like that again. You just have to be creative in the areas of your coding line

MT:
Obviously you do not understand tech.

You have not worked with tech at an enterprise level.

You are still thinking of using code to develop a calculator solution. It is more and deep than that. So you expect a company like first bank to subject their code to chat gpt. Chat gpt simply make life a bit easier but most codes being churned out require refactoring and understanding of design principles and patterns.

The first step to failing in tech is to go into it for the financials alone. It’s a sure way to failure.

Companies in the US and Europe still recruit the best hands . There’s something lacking in your skill set if you are not getting interviewed.

Tech is an art and you need to learn the fundamentals. I get enough invites all over the world with relocation package that I even choose to ignore

Are u sure he didn't learn the data analytics with python?? Are u so sure??

The amount of opportunities in tech is exaggerated, especially by entrepreneurs that want to sell their courses to you. A career in tech is very lucrative and cool BUT that does not mean the jobs are available on a Buy-One-Get-One-Free basis if we want to tell ourselves the truth. If you will do tech, go the whole hog and learn it enough that you can use it to build a solution by yourself, if you just want to do the bare minimum to position yourself for jobs, u may find it tough. Tech is not the easy way out the way most people see it, u will put in the work and ur learning will be continuous and u will have to keep evolving.

Also dont forget, the fact that most tech jobs can be done remotely means the experienced and gatekeepers are having a field day taking multiple jobs as much as 3, while new entrants may find it increasingly difficult to land something.

85% of tech jobs in Nigeria is based on recommendations
Only few can be gotten via normal job applications process

jetson06:
I am also in the same boat as well. I started my tech journey as an IT Support Engineer and later Systems Admin about 7 years ago. I relocated to the UK under a COS but the job I got through this COS is a finance role. I have done numerous certifications in a bid to land a remote tech job and its been nothing rejection for the past 3 years in UK. I suddenly gave up and decided to be A gigolo.

[qupl[b][/b]plote author=dauntless15 post=134196375]Truth is they're few tech jobs out there, but the hype was much and alot of people like you blindly learnt tech skills, now applicants are more than the actual available tech jobs, goto remote work websites and see the thousands of people applying to one tech job, all over the world, it's crazy, now most tech jobs also exclude Africa, they reserve it for Europe and north America, the few available worldwide are crowded by hungry people especially Indians, they're practically everywhere like a pandemic, forget the dreams abeg, na only crypto and surveys be the sure thing now, atleast nobody go control wether I earn or not, it's all up to me, and before you rant, I was like you, I learnt UI and UX design, web design, and graphics design yet here I am, if no be survey and crypto my own for don finish. please sir I need to know more about survey

Acidosis:
Does Nigeria really have a viable tech sector, or is it just people in tech-inscribed T-shirts with laptops hopping from one remote work hub to the next? I mean, our tech industry is basically a glorified game of "brilliant minds" with Wi-Fi.

When we're actually ready for a real tech industry, we'll be calling on the government to build a proper industrialised environment for real tech companies - think mobile phone manufacturers, satellite companies, robot factories - basically, places with actual addresses, not just free Wi-Fi and coffee.

How can we talk about a tech industry when we still import ordinary POS machines? What is you people's idea of tech? Free WiFi, website design, coding, and crypto? Walai, we are not ready.

As always, we always want to jump the process. How can we talk about modern day tech without proper industrialisation? After learning to code, what next? Look around you, apart from banks, who your coding help? Schools still struggling to pay minimum wage or market women??

IT guys are struggling to get in these days even in advanced countries. It's a global trend
