Forget about all these speculations you are doing in Nigeria, there is no way you can enter the US legally as a student and not get sponsorship after your study, unless you are not a smart Nigerian. If you no see sponsorship in Tech or Finance, you look for it in another field, cleaner, hotelier, care assistant, porter, etc. You can even pay for sponsorship, if you're schooling you try and be working and saving for your sponsorship incase, just have good orientation and make smart friends you will be settled. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Am a recent masters grad from a US university. Although I got a good job after graduation, I won't recommend this route if you're not very bright. The odds of success aren't high, due to the present job market and the H1B situation. You can risk it though. Other advise will be to try and secure funding, full or partial |

Getting an H1B is increasingly difficult. So even if you have an employer willing to sponsor, it doesn't guarantee anything zagorakis: |

Investment banking is not easy to get into. It’s usually children of the big boys that get in with few brilliant ordinary people. Your best bet is to enter a big 4 audit firm. 4 Likes |

Go and study medical courses, write the exams from Nigeria/Africa and start looking for sponsorship jobs on LinkedIn. H1B visa is assured. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Whichever route you choose, get at least five years work experience in Nigeria, then apply for NIW, as study route to the US doesn't guarantee you a legal stay. NIW is definitive process, while H1B is lottery based, aka tumbo-tumbo. Regarding professions, both finance or accounting (there's a dearth of qualified accountants in the US) and tech are good. But regarding the former, you need to do your CPA. For the latter, you need to be very good to beat the competition. The competition for jobs isn't even the problem in the US, but getting an authorised visa to work. Studying in the US doesn't guarantee you thar authorisation. In summary, NIW over study visa. 2 Likes |

Go to finance..specifically accounting.. if u can get a big 4 role... that's a very easy path abroad... but then why are u so desperate to be abroad? Hav u even done the pro vs con? The grass is always greener on the other side. 2braithe: |

Daeaad: Bruh If you have these skills and you claim you make zero dollar while you’re in Nigeria, you would make zero dollar anywhere in the world also, that’s just the harsh truth. Nigeria is not made for anyone, it’s up to you to make Nigeria a “place” for you I’m not a motivational speaker, fvck it, but you’ve got to learn how to put yourself out there, how to position and sell yourself. A Wordpress developer that knows how to sell himself and find high paying Wordpress gig would make more money than a software engineer guru submitting basic applications randomly to every position he comes across. You’ve got a good skill, if what you wrote up there is true Restrategize, change your approach. All the best! 3 Likes |

Quidsin: Thank you. However, I prefer other aspects of finance that isn't accounting. Regardless, there are a lot of them in US. Getting sponsorship is the main hurdle. |
