I'm glad that you're already charting your future during NYSC, that's pretty an early start which is commendable. Now, this is my 2 cents with respect to Finance field, Consider enrolling for an advanced global certification during your NYSC, preferably, ACCA (you can do ICAN if you can't afford this) or CFA, this will get you through the door in the competitive labour market after NYSC. Also, start brushing up on job aptitude tests as well. Then gun for the top finance corporations after your NYSC - The big 4 firms (Financial Advisory/ Deals Advisory / M & A or P.E units), AFC, etc. Get 1 to 3 years experience in any of these good firms and along with your professional certifications you should be able to get a fully or partially funded MBA from a top university (preferably Ivy league) in USA. With all these, you would easily break into Wall street after your MBA, and get juicy Finance roles. 2braithe: |

2braithe:Very strong GPA, first or second class upper. CPA and good performance in the interview. If your goal is to travel abroad at all cost, if you have the money the quickest way is the care assistant part to Canada or UK. Any legitimate travel consultant in Nigeria can guide you through |

Lovemaester:well, you can learn it online I believe from an institution in the USA or Canada but if they study such in our university or polytechnic that is fine. You just need a 2 year degree course program to learn it. That is the first stage, having such knowledge, since you are coming from Africa, you just have to lie on your cv on where you have actually worked in it using it. Don't get me wrong, you can still work with it in Nigeria after all we have geo thermal plant coming up in Nigeria but make sure you use international companies like Schlumberger, Haliburton. I can't type much, go research and don't wait to be spoonfed. Apply wisdom. I can tell you the truth, if you are in the states and you study such course , oil and gas companies will be looking for you. Because you are from Nigeria, it will not come easy but if you can manipulate your cv by having the experience in stanvanger, Norway or another country etc then you might stand a chance. Like I said, you have to research, think and apply wisdom. I have an Italian Ghanaian friend back in Ghana who spent 1year applying for jobs through indeed. He finally got a job in Ireland. Also note, it depends on the region if you study such course where those oil and gas companies will find you upon completion because those oil companies have a rapport with the university. This is another nugget I have dropped here.. 1 Like 1 Share |

femi4: To see jobs in tech now is war. I searched for internships, the ones is Nigeria were old(posted months ago) or has some kind of requirements that if I possess them, I won't be needing internships. Remote ones abroad have over 1k applications in few hours. The requirements too were stringent. Junior developer positions require 3-5 years of experience with skills and knowledge cutting across Web dev, cloud engineering, systems design, devops and project management. That's an entire IT department!!! I don't know how I want to break into that. |

och12: Thanks for these. Some suggested Auditing. Does it matter or I can always go into any of the aspects you mentioned(Advisory, M & A, etc) just for experience? As for breaking into wall street, will I get a sponsor to sponsor my visa to stay or I should do what others are doing(find akata)? |

The response of one who hasn't travelled to the First World before. Not everyone abroad is struggling with minimum wage jobs and childcare. There are people whose business generates millions of dollars every year. The man that bought Gatwick could probably only have done if he was based here by stealing at a Presidential level. The chap that sold Calendly nko? Those are the whales. There are many Nigerians who are earning six and seven figure salaries in the West but you are only familiar with those who cannot afford airticket to come home and bury their mother. Upgrade Your Standards and expectations. Praying4Nigeria: 1 Like 1 Share |

Dynamicboss:some part of frontend as how? You said software developer can be either full stack, backend or frontend. Tell me the part of frontend that web developer deal with that make it different from the frontend that software developer do |
Re: Which Of These Two Careers Can Help Me Migrate To The US? by Dynamicboss: 8:23pm On Apr 03 |
Easybet1: I am mixing it up anyways. Web development is more like developing a website based on business requirements which you can be a front end, back end and full stack. However, most time it is seen more of a front end because it focuses on functionality of a web. Languages like react native, html, css, angular, etc. are used for website design. |

Dijita:Look. You are a scammer. You keep branding how you have this and you know people you got jobs for and how fast it was possible when we who have exposure know it’s all lies. You are a liar and setting up the trail as an expert abroad hooking people up with jobs. Stop it immediately and go and find a real job. |

2braithe: That you don't need to go through the study route as a means to get inside the US. Work authorisation is not certain after studying in the US. Your aim is to work in the US, so the NIW solves the issue. However, if you are dead on private equity or IB, you need an MBA from a top Business School. Also, the university and grade you graduated also plays a role. Which university and what was your grade in undergraduate levels? 2braithe: That is where your grade and GMAT score comes in. Score at least 780 and a fat scholarship is certain. 1 Like |

Gerrard59: Alright. Due to anonymity, I wouldn't want to reveal my school. But it is among the top 6 in Nigeria(It is a federal uni). After the MBA, I can apply for the NIW in the US I presume. |
Re: Which Of These Two Careers Can Help Me Migrate To The US? by Gerrard59(m): 12:22pm On Apr 04 |
2braithe: Good grade. You need to get quality work experience in Nigeria. Once that is achieved, then write the GMAT and score exceedingly high. |
Re: Which Of These Two Careers Can Help Me Migrate To The US? by 2braithe: 3:49pm On Apr 04 |
