I agree with you that the slack channel will be a better media to have fruitful discussions. Having the ability to remove people is something every discussion should have

My thoughts were misplaced when I thought this thread would benefit others, especially newcomers.

Well, what a waste

no we should continue. I think the people trying to derail the thread have given up. We need to motivate and encourage the smart ones that the career is rewarding. Somebody posted a good site pacoboxx if I am correct, i was able to download cheat programming books with lot of examples. So the thread is okay.

@DrLevi you can create a slack group, we can have the convo there, most are civil, you can't govern NL. But I am serious about relocating, I was a major force in ensuring my babe relocated and even got her a job in Poland at Netguru, these things are not hard if you are good. We should talk more about it privately

Hmmm! So finally your babe don leave you relocate? God will make away for me too.

The best way to deal with trolls is to completely ignore them, don't give them a reason to start or continue an argument.

Your sense of entitlement stinks to the high heavens. "Tell us how to make it"? How many people have poured out their souls on these threads about how they managed to be successful getting a remote job?! Have you applied for jobs? Have you prepared for interviews? What am I saying sef? Crossover dot com has openings for L1 and Level 2 Technical Support. Have you applied for those? And passed the exams?

You talk a lot of "sheet", mouthing off about stingy people. Na you work the money for them? U buy their data? U buy petrol for them? U follow them sit down 8-hours non stop dey work? I collapsed yesterday midway through work cos I've been working two jobs for a total of 17 hours a day. And you f*cking feel entitled to someone's money after they have brutalized their bodies for 8 hours?

You need to cleanse your soul of your negativity. You really talk a lot of nonsense here.

I was hoping to at least try to moderate the thread but I'm just going to take the sidelines from henceforth and contribute when I can.

Humans are hard

Good Day Sir,
Please don't let these unfortunate trolls discourage you.
I strongly believe that the information dropped here would practically change the life of people who are interested to better their lives.
I have being working remotely (write business plans, financials, market research, Pitch Decks, etc) on freelance platforms for some years.
I want to upskill to Data Analysis/Financial Analysis to get a remote job, build experience, to enable me raise funds and move out of this country.
Therefore I believe that the information dropped here will be useful to me and others as well.

Don't be discouraged.

The thread is back on track. Let the pacoboxx, upwork, indeed, data, alg, Python, Java, JS, even Perl, DevOps et Al continue unabated.

8am to 1am. It is not sustainable long term though.

The second job is for a fixed term and I couldn't say no to the money on the table.

This kind suffer working for hours, person go come dey feel entitled to your money
It is not long term, you'll surely break down.
The lord is your strength
But I guess there are breaks in between

Officially, each employer does not know I have a second job. And expect me to deliver 100%. You go execute a combination of sub-tasks to complete a main task. If your execution was 99.9% complete and you miss one small step, you get told that your execution was 100% incorrect. And maybe that miss was that you failed to update a project tracker after doing all the hard work.Na hin one person dey shout stingy and "fake remote workers" up and down. Make he do am if e easy.

And yes I "forcefully" take breaks. If you sit down 17 hours straight your entire body will scatter. The breaks are unpaid. So for every hour I take a break I'm not paid.

For 'newbie' or the 'uninitiated', some terminologies
DSA: Data structure & algorithm
Alg: Algorithms
FAANG: typically refers to the US 'big Tech', which is 'fluid (that is, changes with time). The likes of your Meta (META) (formerly Facebook), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX); and Alphabet (GOOG) (formerly Google)

DrLevi:
Having studied a bit of DSA, I could see the usefulness for large user base but most companies barely scale that much. Everybody won't build the next TikTok or Instagram or work in FAANG

But the game is the game. We have to play by these rules

Hannania:
DSA is a fundamental knowledge every profound programmer is meant to know.
The tools we use are built with complex Algorithms. Most tools used at FAANG firms and the likes is in-house built. So ideally, an engineer that can "design" such is needed, that's where DSA test come into play.

While searching in linkedin use the keyword visa sponsorship or visa and then country of your choice. For those who want to japa. You have to look at the jobs one after the other. Not all the links sponsor visa.

hopefully by God's grace. You can also use the sponsorship keyword as well. The job below is an entry level job and offers sponsorship. Although this is if you are in Uk but there are others who sponsor from africa. Just check each link one by one and apply as much as possible.

I think to relocate out of the country these are the best ways

1. Freelance Job = Freelance Visa

As long as you have a freelance job, my advice is enter countries with low restriction and apply to another country from there.

2. Relocation Job
This is the hardest, it cost less to migrate an EU person than a Nigerian unless you are extremely too good .

No matter which way you go,

It's the same requirement

You need to be skilled to be considered


There is another route, but if you can run your company , have transactions running through it, you can have your own company employ you and you can show that you work for a company, this requires too much money.

So like Tensa will say study your Algo and DSA

@LikeAKing there's no golden rule to relocation/remote job, you have to be good to apply for jobs and pray for the best, sometimes it's luck and sometimes it's divine. My advice study your code and do more work, anything other than that is a waste of time.

What kind of freelance jobs you meant?? The ones on sites like upwork, freelancer among others??

airsaylongcome:


I second the slack move. I'm also on qt's slack channel and have a private channel there that I haven't started using. Half of the people that come to the programming section are toxic. The other half are looking to get a foreign remote job from information gleaned in the programming sub forum and can leave "those idiots on NL"

You mind sharing invitation links I could join on slack??
