Mrjuice:

At the bold, millionaire in Pounds or Naira ?
Nna eh, that means my bros is wealthy!!! He's a UK citizen, an independent contractor, and a .NET/enterprise software engineer. But but he want to make life very very comfortable for me in Nigeria without me thinking of traveling abroad after telling me to learn c#. Bros I no want, I wan travel.
By the way, I am a React front-end developer & Django backend developer as well, but more proficient in Reactjs. Abeg I dey look for visa sponsorship job.

Well, your brother is saying the truth. C#, .NET core framework is a good skill to have. There are plenty opportunities out there. I believe if you learn it, you will always find things to do.

Yeah. The residency permit is hard even for white Europeans, so imagine how it is for blacks, especially black Africans. Swiss immigration laws discriminate across regions. It charges more residency fees for black Africans compared to say Americans. So, those blacks there might be those who have citizenship in an EU country. But yes, Switzerland is the go-to country for higher salaries in Europe. As with every high earning place, it attracts a lot of qualified applicants.

NGOs are largely different because they are either affiliated with UN-sister organisations and transfers are common. Also, they don't employ a lot compared to the real industry.

And one thing that is common in EEA countries is that, they are lenient regarding residency of another member of EEA, that is if you are living in a Schengen country for like 2 or 3 years, when you move to another Schengen country, yours previous duration of stay will count in the new Schengen country and you can get PR or Citizenship very fast. And EU blue card is also very nice and it makes Migration from one EU country to another very easy including Switzerland.

Gerrard59:


Impressive to read. Having the skills is the koko. The developed world is willing to hire and pay someone regardless of origin, looks, skin colour etc., provided the person is skilled. Well, that is how they stay developed - meritocracy.

I am curious, do you know anything about Switzerland and the blacks working in non-UN affiliated/NGO organisations?

Switzerland is very good as well and they pay good salaries, I have some backs working as tech guys there , but they are not alot as Scandinavian countries and Eastern Europe. Their resident permit is quite hard to get and alot of bureaucracy. One of my chapter leads just joined my previous company "EPAM systems" in Zurich, though he is white. I don't really know much about the NGO companies there, but I know blacks are working there and their resident permit is quite hard to get

Oh and if I want to move to Europe from Chile, it's very very very easy. Infact I can do it before the year ends if I want lol. I did do some interviews with some companies in Spain but I stopped because aside one company which offered 70k euros annually and relocation to Spain, the other salaries were lower than what even companies in Chile were offering. No be withcraft be that

Lol. Spain is not even paying high salaries, I have some Spaniards that are coming to Lithuania to work. Salaries in Spain are not great at all. Also, it depends on companies as well. Some companies pay more salary for the same positions than their peers. If I want to relocate to another country, it will be between the Netherlands and Denmark, they have good benefits for expats and high salaries as well. And black people in top companies in these countries. The company I am working with which is a bank has its headquarter in Denmark and the guy heading the Technology department is From Nigeria living in Denmark, I could imagine the amount they will be paying him . To be honest, if you know what are you doing and you have good skills and experience, you can thrive in any EU country

tensazangetsu20:


Everything you said can be gotten right here in Chile. At senior level, it's very possible to make up to 10000 USD every month. The income tax level is up to 40 percent Sha as a full time employee but if you are an independent contractor either with Chilean companies or foreign it's a 15 percent or so flat rate. The tax is so much lower. Why I came to Chile is that Chilean passport that allows you to work in the US legally. Trust me a whole lot of american companies are ready to hire you if you let them know that that option exists and is a very straightforward option to bring you over.

I don't know if you still remembered when you helped me back in 2020 when I was having some issues with modals in react. It's been a long way since then

Yes. I remembered . I am really happy for you.
I am not even talking about Chile, I was just reacting to a post comparing UK, France to other EU countries regarding Salaries. What most people do not understand is that some countries that are unheard of or small countries get doings than those popular countries. That is what you are facing when some people think Chile is not good. UK that I am seeing a SWE salary starting from 28K pounds annually.

I'm glad I came upon this thread. I read all the pages through. Congratulations on your recent job and country move, tensazangetsu20. I went through a few posts about the UK, France, the Nordic countries, and the EU. What I will say is that, in some EU nations, you will make less money as a non-professional yet still be able to support yourself with a few menial jobs. When it comes to professional occupations, such as those in technology, you will make a good living. As a Software Engineer (Cloud expert) where I presently reside, the average salary starts at 3500 euros, yet Lithuania is one of the lowest paying countries.If you're talking about Denmark, Germany, and other powerful nations in Europe, my friends who work in the Netherlands and other nations make a lot of money. As a foreigner, you are eligible for a 30% tax rule in the Netherlands, which means that 30% of your earnings will not be subject to taxes. If you look at the generous income my colleagues in Denmark are receiving—and we work for the same company—you cannot even begin to compare salaries in the UK and Denmark. The United Kingdom and France do not rank among the top eight countries in terms of pay.

I also read about the independent contractor someone talked about, it is very true, as an independent contractor in the EU, you are going to make cool cash easily and there plenty of jobs to choose from, I can't remember how many offers I got , but it is meant for permanent residents, there are doings in EU countries, it depends on your experience and skills. I have a friend earning 8000 in Lithuania as a Senior Software Engineer and this is a country that is not in the top 30 highest salaries countries

manneger2:

You should have use Turkish airline, u are going to Poland?
And there is discount for student, emirate is costly l, me that is in Dubai can't use them

I sent you a PM bro. Please, I want to ask you something urgent.

Misshelz:


Maybe the branch you’ll go to will be able to help but over here, the staffs were confused. I ended up with fcmb. I pray it is fast enough. They’ve debited the money though..

Please when did you make the payment for the Form A, because someone told me that it takes time with GTB and Zenith.

Vlibray:

Taofeek you can post the email where the polish embassy told you this on here to clear up the issue.
God bless

that's it

Vlibray:

who is they ?

Polish embassy and most of the countries issuing one year or National visa.

Vlibray:

The polish embassy won’t deny your visa because it’s expiring in 9months time .
The only thing a passport that is expiring in 9months time will cause is this ; you won’t get up to one year polish visa if your visa gets approved.
I have a friend here who got his visa approved on a passport that was supposed to expire in less than 6months time. (He applied for visa in October 2020, got his visa in 2020 November, passport expired in March 2021)

Are you sure about this?. I have the same issue as well, I have gone to renew my passport but they told me that it will take 6 weeks and I need to resume September 1st.
I still have a year validity on my passport but they said they need a year and 3 months validity on the requirements page.

Growingboi:
Thanks you for this...Did you petition EFCC online or how did you do it? Plan to involve as many security agency as possible

I have friends in EFCC, they wrote a petition for me and I threatened the bank as well to jail their staffs. UBA were calling me day and night. Banks don't want someone to be gentle with them regarding fraud. You need to take it with iron hand.

Growingboi:
I woke up this morning to see that a large sum of amount has been debit from my GTB account to an account in ECO. I have however blocked the account to prevent further activities on my account and I have also raised a case file with police report to ensure the fraudster account is frozen(if the money has not been withrawn).

The bank official ask me to get a court order to get the fraudster arrested when found. I then called the IPO in charge of the case for this update. She said the court order can only be done in Ibadan, Oyo state and said it will cost me real money. I contacted a police friend who said I should go to state CID Panti to lay complain.


If anyone has experienced this before or has an idea should kindly advice me on what to do next. Help a brother pls.

Bellow is one of the transactions done. It was done several times.

Same thing happened to me last year December, someone gained access to my UBA account and transferred 400k to different accounts in zenith bank. I am not in Nigeria but I fought hard for it and threatened the bank that I will send alot of their staffs to jail. I involved CBN and EFCC. I got back my full money with transfer charges after 20 days.
Dont take it lightly with them, involve CBN and write a petition to EFCC. They will be the one to do everything for you and follow the person that transfered your funds.

chiefodera:
please help me on how to recover my bet9ja account from bet9ja. I have already posted the whole situation here

I don't really know about bet9ja, but you need to call their customer care and explain your ordeal to them as well if you can contact your bank to present an evidence. If things remain the same, involve efcc, they will act fast because that's what I did on my case and have gotten back my money.

Adekola1984:
[i][/i]....may God help u to recover ur money...

I got back my money today being the 19th day of the incident. I didn't take it easy with them and I threatened them alot. So I got the alert this night.

I have the same issue, on 10th of December, someone hacked into my account and withdrew 400k to two different accounts in zenith bank, I told my UBA bank and they said they will investigate, but I have been doing my underground investigation and I have the contact details of the accounts they transferred my money to. I have called him and he hsaid he knew nothing about it that his bank has called him and he will return the funds on Monday but the second account still yet to say anything. I have promised UBA that some of their staffs will be in prison before 25th, they have been calling me everyday though I am not in Nigeria.

Karleb:
I noticed python doesn't come with come with easy and clear way to implement interface and abstract class and because of this, some python articles I've read played down on the importance of these in python.


How do you as a python programmer implement these especially before python 3?

Does popular frameworks like Django and Flask have abstract classes and interfaces?

In Python Class, We have Encapsulation, Polymorphization, Abstraction and Inheritance.
Each of the above terms has its own function and you can implement abstraction especially in Django, cos all you need to write inside the class is abstraction = True.

TheCarpenter:

If your project is small, go for HEROKU. Personally I haven't tried AWS but the testimonies from people who have doesn't seem positive. You may end up been debited/charged.

As for DO, their lowest charge is 5usd per month.

even you can use Heroku if your project is big but you have to part away with some money... The reason I prefer Heroku is the fact that it supports some external features and libraries for your app or project, something like websocket, redis and many add ons... Django hosting in general is not cheap, that's why many people prefer PHP cos it's hosting is very cheap.. If you are building in django and you want to go live to the public, just make sure you have enough money to part with cos it's not cheap.
If you can look at pythonanywhere as well, their cost is cheap as well, relatively cheaper than Heroku but they don't support websocket and also their postgres database is paid unlike Heroku that's free.

Donpre:
FBVs in django rest, that'll be a lot of code and things to import. My problem with FBVs in DRF is the many things to import and use, it gets me confused

when writing serializers, CBV is mandatory because you will inherit from many classes such as model serializers but when I am writing views, I prefer to go for FBVs with the decorators because CBVs also will include decorators when writing complex views and concerning the import, practice makes perfection, when I started, I always struggled to find the import module but now, everything got sticked to the brain. GRAPHENE is using only post data with additional queries features but mostly common used API for Django is DRF because of its rich features and simplicity such as Post, Get, Delete, Put and so on....

denzel123:

how do you go about using django and react ...i'm really intrested ..i'm a new comer to django currently learning after just finishing python

you can easily fix django and other javascript frameworks with the help of Django Rest Framework, so you create APIs endpoint where your frontend will be making calls to... I will advise you to be more grounded with Django first before learning DRF so that you can easily plug everything.

TheCarpenter:
Taofeekdboy, did you send a PM to me?

yes, I sent you a PM

TheCarpenter:

Bigger than what freetier on AWS will run without been charged along the way

On Heroku, you can still host your app there, the only problem is the cost of hosting on Heroku, it is not cheap. You can also look at digitalOcean as well cos their price is relatively cheaper than Heroku.

teamoneline:


yeah thanks, about to hop on react. any tips going forward?

React is awesome and easy to setup, just make sure your javascript knowledge is solid so that you won't encounter difficulties along the way.

TheCarpenter:
Wow, interesting there is a django thread on NL.

Anyways anyone in for some exploration with Django? More of a contribution to a project I'm building. Comes with a lot of technologies

what's the project about?

teamoneline:
https://quizoo-app.herokuapp.com/

django app. a quiz maker app. not the best of functionalities or designs but built to demonstrate CRUD.
tech: django, jquery , bootstrap (my ogas at the top are bending the DOM with reactjs me i dey here dey use jquery. )

up next e-commerce..

that's cool brother, it is awesome... Keep it up.
You can learn of the javascript frameworks to complement Django

NIGHTLIFE100:
I can confirm 1000% that there’s employment visa for Nigerians as I saw one from my company with my eyes today. Congratulations to everyone

please is the employment visa from abu dhabi or dubai?

Donpre:

You're one of the few. I started with FBVs so it feels more natural.
I'm warming up to class based views though as FBVs in DRF na stress

What problems do you have with user authentication?

I only used CBV in drf when writing serializers and simple blogs views or sort. Recently e-commerce I developed for a client, the views was written in FBVs as I am more comfortable with FBVs, tho CBV gives you the leverage to write less code but I am more comfortable writing FBV unless I am writing a module.

codeigniter:


you can use Django channels for Django async. flask is similar to express but instead of callbacks it uses wrappers

how was your nodejs and expressjs experience

It was a nice experience, you have the full control over your application, you can customize it the way you want. I suggest you look deep into expressjs.

Donpre:

Yeah i frequent the docs, read up on the new async decorators and views but didn't find an application for it till i used express.

Wow! maybe i'm learning express the wrong way. What resource did you use?

Also which has brought in more $$$, between express, django and react? I need to streamline my roadmap

Express and flask has something in common, their easy setup.
I used the docs and StackOverflow. I will try the new asynchronous feature with Django, try express, it is really interesting and you do things by yourself unlike Django where things have been written for you, only little customization.

Donpre:

Tried express and it felt so different from how things work in django. Still not getting why express is more popular than django, aside its asynchronous nature, express na just stress plus javascript too is one weird language.

What do you mean by "one way no enter road", i thought express had more jobs opportunities

Django is now asynchronous in the new release 3.1.4. I fell in love with express the first time i used it, it is easy to setup and use. What I meant by that is you need to know more than one stack to get more job opportunities.

Donpre:

Nice!

Thought you moved on to express and node

No, I just added MERN stack to my skills... One way no enter road, it is good to try new things.. If you are solid with Javascript, then express is easy to pick up and moreso, if you are good with data structures and algorithms, then you are on the track of making beautiful apps.

pixey:
You have really gone far.Mine level is to create simple CRUD apps like blogs etc.Integrating react and django is like shockwave man! Security and speed impact.

yes bro, practice makes perfection, yes I really like the combination of React and Django... Most importantly, it's security. You will get there bro, just keep on practicing!!!!
