![]() This thread na cruise!! I agree with the seniors in d house but what he is simply saying is that if you want to make money do what no one is willing to do. NPM being the largest code repo proofs being a junior in such environments with so many devs is a waste of time if you are in Africa and trying to make a living. I hate been compared to some in UK or USA, of course life is easier there but here u got to use your head. How do you even becomes a mid level dev when u have never gotten a job in your stack. You guys have probably been in the game for a while and have built connections, gotten jobs, gigs in the past. it is easy to say learn Node.js. But remember that the lockdown produced millions of junior self taught devs, Youtube tech channels is the proof for this. Summary: If : you want to over train yourself before you get your first gig jumping from one projects, open source stuffs, tools etc. - choose Node.js or what not else : Choose a small niche with plenty opportunities and lesser competitions not necessary wordpress, odoo et al |

longjames4:What kind of website is that. The animations are too much. You rushed through the whole thing. You also learnt c# for six months no project. Learn JavaScript pick a JavaScript Framework then learn PHP and wordpress deeply. I am not talking about the drag and drop part of wordpress o. The coding aspect and don't build sites from.your head. If you can't pay a designer take popular sites that look beautiful and remake them. |

longjames4:As per your question, Javascript and PHP are programming languages. Also, I observed a lot of grammar and spelling errors on the sites you provided. |

MrJavaS:Not most. It's just a few fellas on this forum that are misleading newbies into hating MERN |

tensazangetsu20:Gbamsolutely!! You nailed it bro!! Let me add my own. We have some Nigerian junior developers that they don't want to learn one programming language and be the best at it. They prefer jumping from one language to other without fully understand anyone of them. I think programming is not about learning every language, the best idea is to fully understand and know a language. |

Sheriman:Exactly. Niching down is bae ![]() |

Please am a junior developer currently with the following stack knowledge Html Css Javascript Python Dajngo Flask... What do you think about Django and flask frameworks |

Daevuon:Getting a job might be more difficult than finding a white woman above 25 who is still a virgin with those stacks. It's a good stack if you intend to start your own company though. |

spartan117:Seriously I prefer using the MERN stack. But the fact that PHP puts more food on the table makes me want to migrate |

tensazangetsu20:hey bro if you don't understand anything about something, then be quiet about it. Talking about data structures and algorithm, they are very important and if you likely get an interview in any top companies abroad you will likely flop as most questions are on DSA, that's why Nigerians with this mentality are the ones who write buggy code, have zero knowledge of memory management. When you do things that anyone with proper programming knowledge can go on YouTube and watch and implement in his project, then you come up here and write trash. from your description, your core skills are frontend based, go and so focus on it, infact 80% of people that call themselves developers in this country are frontend and they feel so high. I have met programmers who write code and not markup language, who program hardware and build crazy hardware, those who perform advance research on Ai and they don't talk ignorantly. So learn to know that you have lots of stuff to learn |

Semaphore:I hope you are an SRE 3 at google. Most of my posts are just geared to juniors getting jobs and opportunities in the industry. Memory management, bla bla bla. Guy we are in the world's poverty capital. How many companies here make use of high end tech products. To even get a job in the big tech companies here is based on who you know. |

RemiAbdulSamad:You have a nice portfolio and a good eye for UI/UX designs. When did you start learning? |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by cixak95211: 11:12pm On Feb 23, 2021 |
tensazangetsu20:That dude said "if u ain't sure about something, don't speak", but you'll still speaking How many companies have you worked for to conclude that only a few use high-end tech products? Plus having to know somebody before you are employed in tech is VERY FALSE. The dude might not even be an entry-level engineer at FAANG, but he hit it spot on. You're a frontend and most trash like these e.g. who DSA help usually comes from them. |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by tensazangetsu20(op): 6:02am On Feb 24, 2021 |
cixak95211:Happens a lot in Nigeria for the top tech companies. People are employed based on referrals. Yen Yen Yen my post are only to beginners frontend or backend looking to get into the industry. Someone learning coding for 3 months and learning DSA is unlikely to get into Google. Of course peoppe have done it but look at their backgrounds. My post are geared to juniors looking to break into tech. Leave the cool things first. Learn the unsexy things. Get in, get some experience and go for the cool things. And FYI, I don't only do frontend work and honestly stop quoting my posts. I saw your last post where you made a mockery of salesforce and what I will do with it. Frontend engineer or developer doesn't really matter to me. I have an engineering degree and already got the engineer title so go tell that shit to someone else. I am providing massive value for my employers and that's all that matters. Don't quote me again!!!! |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by cixak95211: 7:12am On Feb 24, 2021 |
tensazangetsu20:Stop spilling trash and nobody would quote "against" you . . . You're nowhere being called an engineer . . . you're still a developer. Take pride in that, it doesn't belittle you or make you a lesser man Having an engineering degree doesn't make you a software engineer, if I ask how old you are again, you'll find that insulting. But another ignorant talk spilled yet again. You're still a junior and still on the learning curve, so you cannot advice what works best. cos you're even yet to find your bearing in the vast world of engineering. Wait till at least you're intermediate, then you can look back and say, Hey this worked for me and this did not. It's funny how a "toddler" who has barely walked can offer advice of how to partake in a marathon. Or how a juvenile who just got into prison and in less than a year, feels he is in the best position to explain how the prison system works? Stop watching too much Youtube. Cheers and goodluck. |

cixak95211:You are a very big fool. I rarely insult people online but you have made me to. Who even made you a senior. A senior who doesn't know the first rule of responsive design. Senior my ass. Continue to receive yourself. You really over estimate yourself. Stop making quotes on my threads. You guys just feel yourself so much in this country all for nothing. I am glad I don't work with people like you ![]() |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by tensazangetsu20(op): 7:34am On Feb 24, 2021 |
Juniors be weary of people like that idiot. It's how he advised someone on an older thread to go and learn C++. So many people are learning to code now and you have to be strategic to get returns from it. Don't go and learn what you will be unemployed for 4 years. Time is worst thing to waste in this world. They call themselves senior. Who made them senior? Hunger and poverty no send anybody o and in Nigeria you are already disadvantaged from the get go. I am still a junior like many in this section and my goal from day one has been to help other juniors with what has worked for me. |

tensazangetsu20:Spencer !!! Some mothers do have them . . . I have never for once called myself a senior, that is left for you to find out yourself . . . but I am very sure when I started writing code, you were still in the nursery. Plus I never called myself a UI/UX designer . . Ignorant talk yet again. An engineer could be A-rated at the backend and cannot write 1 line of CSS as there are cloud engineers who cannot write 1 line of React. You don't know that? I expect a junior not do for sure. Plus my project has approximately 120K lines of codes on both ends and runs on 6 servers. I'll like to see you try. Write yours let's see. I smell envy?? I have attached receipts for you. I am correcting you, take pride in it. I review codes every day for people who have been long in the game before you. If that makes a senior, hell yeah I accept it

cixak95211:Masa stop posting your garbage code for your garbage project that no one is going to use. so it's lines of code you want to use to compare now. Seriously. Me that had built my own CMS as a toy project. Like I said again, I am so glad I don't work with people like you. Review garbage codes for your other garbage developers. |

If Andela trusts me enough to review people's code, you should probably keep shut when I speak, but hey man, I don't do that I don't Lord it over people, even those I well know are waaaay below me. My only plea is stop spilling trash, how hard could that get? Do what pleases you, I don't have time to trade words. But I will not be here and see you post trash. Prepare to always get quoted. Goodluck once again garbage project? lol Envy once again. See pictures attached. |

One more to make u sleep well at night . . And probably regret your life, wishing your parents had done better in bringing you up. |

cixak95211:I should be jumping for 246 users . See how you are just embarassing yourself here. I can get 246 users for a tech product with a well planned google campaign. I ran a business and E commerce and I was doing more in revenue than what you are doing now and I didn't even know one line of code. Thats rubbish men.Your product is garbage. Who is going to use it over the free alternatives that exist but even the final product that comes out of it is also garbage. In the era of solid amazing no code tools who's going to use enshelf. Let's come back in 2 years and know how many users you have na today?. |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by cixak95211: 7:52am On Feb 24, 2021 |
^^^ I can do this , I can do that . . I did this, I did that I made this, I made that. [b]Hey man shut up and do it. [/b]Oh I forgot , it's the illiteracy in you speaking. Your folks must be turning in their graves and very proud of you right now, son of a gun ! |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by tensazangetsu20(op): 7:54am On Feb 24, 2021 |
cixak95211:2 years time. Let's see if it's not dead then. I repeat who will use your garbage to the millions of better well thought out free alternatives that exist? |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by cixak95211: 7:55am On Feb 24, 2021 |
tensazangetsu20:one thing I can assure you is in 2 year, we;ll still be here and would have employed every folk in your lineage as company drivers and cleaners . . take that to the bank. I can be very petty. The black man hate to see another n!gga made it. I do not expect anybody from your lineage to pay for stuffs. Y'all rather download cracks and piated music over streaming. People pay for Netflix everyday and pay for Spotify when there are free alternatives F000ool. I am not expecting u to pay either . . Have you eaten today? I am not responsible for your parents misfortune. |
| Re: Why So Many Junior Developers Struggle To Get An Opportunity. by tensazangetsu20(op): 7:58am On Feb 24, 2021 |
cixak95211:Hahahaha. . You don't even know who's in my lineage. Ode is posting his LinkedIn because of a bruised ego. Team Lead at a no name company. Masa go and work for Google then you can come and talk. Shebi you know DSA. Put ex google ex Facebook on that LinkedIn there then we can talk. Enshelf my ass. 2 years time we dey here, Godwilling we go see where E dey. |
