I’m a 24M from Nigeria, and I’d say I’m pretty experienced. I have over 4 years of experience working as a software engineer, mostly specializing in frontend development. I’m also good with mobile app development, but I’ve only done personal projects in that area.
I’ve worked for companies in Nigeria, Dubai (remotely), and the US (remotely). I took a break to get a second degree in Canada (computer networking).
Now the problem is, I’m done with school and can’t seem to find anything. I keep getting rejection emails left and right, and it’s making me second guess my career decisions, even though I’m a seasoned developer.
I’m starting to think my bachelor’s degree in CS from Nigeria and my foreign experience aren’t valued here in Canada. Maybe I need to get a CS degree from here and gain Canadian experience, but both are impossible for me right now.
Should I give up and pivot into something else? Currently working as a security guard.
