I had 475 waiting for ITA! and so it begins. I'm happy and scared at the same time.

Thank you for the realistic response. Saw a YouTube video of an Indian that studied 4 hours daily yet had to take the exam three times before she could pass. This is is after immersing herself through movies etc and 14 months of hardwork

Ghaliz:
I'm going to hazard a guess, you're never going to learn French in 6 months never mind pass the language test. The only way you'd even be done with A2 in 6 months is if you enrol in intensive classes i.e 3 hours a day, 5 days a week . A1 is 120 hrs of study A2 is 120, B1 is 180hrs, B2 is 240hrs.

There is no realistic way you're done in 6 months, tutors are not a shortcut either, most tutors especially Nigerian ones you find randomly on the Internet couldn't pass the exam themselves it's just a money grab, your brain needs to not only adjust, it needs to override the English language and your natural reflexes to think in English. There's no way you're passing the French Exam if you think in English, translate to French. You're not overcoming decades of conditioning in 6 months. The exception been you're a genius or an unusual flair for languages.

If you truly need a working strategy to pass French if you're only attending evening classes not giving it your full attention, holding down a full time job you're going to need close to 2 years, the 6 Months has no basis in reality.

Best strategy, since you're married the lower earning spouse quits and devotes his/herself fully to the French attends the intensive class to B2 for a year, 2-3 months for exclusive exam prep you might be able to achieve it in 14 months.


General disclaimer I don't send DM's I don't read them either and there are scammers on the loose in this thread. I will answer questions here

Exelica:
I can’t remember the particular thread, but check out Nairaland’s Upwork thread or go through qtguru’s posts.

Can you please share me the thread you're referring to @Exelica

Exelica:
Hello Qtquru, you mentioned remoteoliver’s guide on optimizing Upwork on a thread a while back, were you able to pay using any Nigerian card? My verve card didn’t work.

I've really been inspired watching you build chrome extensions.

This is the advice that I can think of, getting Tech jobs are hard because you need to prove yourself, most companies want devs that can take on jobs with minimal training, and it's not the basic design of static sites, it's understanding JS and building applications at least.

The easiest way is freelance, a job is harder to get than freelance, I do Chrome Extension and it's actually easy than building a React Application, that's a niche to try, if not find non-tech gigs like WordPress Content manager.

As for power, that one is a difficult one.

If someone advises you, people, you people reply with insults, which is another reason, a referral is hard on this section, how can I refer a dev that insults people for no reason?

Ciao

Woke up today feeling overwhelmed. Been in Canada for a year now and I can’t believe the way my life has upgraded. Let me tell you my story.

So after working in the banking sector for a number of years, I decided to relocate, but I wasn’t getting good opportunities in banking. I had a friend who was a devops guy and he was making some cool cash as a tech guy and thought I’d try to get into tech too. I tried to learn coding, but quickly figured out it wasn’t my thing (all that money down the drain).

Anyway, I started searching online for how to get into tech without coding and that’s how I came across this tech school in Naija. They were super helpful. They helped me explore my options and finally advised me to take a course in Salesforce. Honestly, I was skeptical because I’d never heard about Salesforce. They sha sent me all these resources to inform my decision and that was how I learnt that Salesforce is this tech CRM software giant and all these big companies use Salesforce to manage their customer relationships. The shocker was when they connected me to some guy in Australia who had also done the course with them just so he could share his experience with me (just as I’m sharing mine with you, I guess) and this guy told me he was making around $85K!!

Omo. That day that day, I paid for the course (I think it was around N300k that time) and started taking it virtually and I have never looked back since then. What I liked about that tech school is that they would train you like kilode - not the one of just giving you links and pdfs to read o. Actual training. As if that’s not enough, they paired me with a mentor who guided me throughout the process. The guy in charge of the programme (Sam), that guy is an angel in human form. At that time I was working many hours in one restaurant like that but this guy would unfailingly follow up with me to make sure I’d completed my projects and all that. The hands-on support ehn. I couldn’t believe it was a Nigerian company, tbh. These guys made sure I prepped well for my certification exams and when I took it, I passed. They now helped me get a placement in one Australian company so I was working remotely and after my placement, those guys retained me. It was like film trick. The way I quit my job ehn. I can’t believe the way my life has changed since then.

Anyway, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If I can get into tech, you can get into tech too. If you want to learn how to code, that’s fine. If you don’t, there’s also a place for you. Sha make sure you learn from people who know what they are doing and who are committed to ensuring your success. Not vibes and insha Allah.

BRAZIL is giving Digital Nomads Visa.

If you work in the new creative economy, with up to $1,500 monthly income from your internet-based works... you can go ahead and move to Brazil.

This was announced by the head of Brazilian National Immigration Council, José Vicente Santini, on January 24th, 2022.

You don't need to have an employer from Brazil. You just need to have a track record of income flow from your Remote Works, Freelancing, Creative Designs, Software and Web Engineering...

Brazil wants you to live in their place while doing that work. High speed internet. Good social amenities. Of course, your residence will add to the country's economy.

The Visa is for One (1) Year but can be extended! The only restriction is that you are NOT permitted to do local works in Brazil. All your works must be international and remote.

The govt will start accepting applications for the Nomad Visa in few days. If you are educated and skilled, there's huge opportunity out there.
