Re: Amazon Recruitment Of Software Developers In Nigeria 2022. Opinion by realunclej(m): 5:26pm On Jul 05, 2022 |
Earlier there is a thread about Amazon Recruitment Of Software Developers In Nigeria in 2022. You can read the details here - https://www.nairaland.com/7212596/amazon-recruitment-software-developers-nigeria There were a lot of comments on the post which shows as Nigerians we still have a long way to go. In this thread, I will highlight some of these comments and share my thought on what is fact and what is a myth. My opinion is open to criticism but please be constructive. The idea is to encourage us to learn and move. Please if I highlight your comment, there is nothing personal. DISCLAIMER: I MAY HIGHLIGHT A COMMENT WHERE POLITICALLY INCLINED PERSONS ARE MENTIONED, SUCH CASES DOES NOT IMPLY THAT I SUPPORT THE INDIVIDUAL OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL CANDIDATES. IN FACT I CONSIDER IT LACK OF INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY TO BRING POLITICS AND RELIGION INTO NON-RELATED ISSUES. THE TWO NICHE ALWAYS CAUSE DIVISION. Before I proceed, I will like to state that this is not the only opening job for Nigerians. Amazon has been driving recruitment since the beginning of this year and there are many opening positions. You can visit this page for details - https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?base_query=&loc_query=Nigeria&loc_group_id=&invalid_location=false&country=NGA&city=®ion=&county= Back to the topic, I will start the conversation with this first comment below. 1. The government needs to invest in Education to produce software engineers not agbado and cassava. WRONG ADVISE While we do not deny the role that the government should play in improving our academic standard, it will be wrong to wait for the government to do something that can improve your life and personal development. There are many free and paid opportunities out there to become a software engineer without government input. Many successful Nigerians in the field are self-taught because the Universities lack the capacity to deliver. Just prepare yourself and go for the abundant opportunities out there. |

2. This is really good but damn Lagos only abuja and port Harcourt nko? Like I said in the introduction post, there are many positions for Nigerians and it is not limited to Lagos. There are also remote positions. Besides there are many sites out there who will employ Nigerians who meet their requirement irrespective of where they live. Google is your friend. Here is the link again https://www.amazon.jobs/en/search?base_query=&loc_query=Nigeria&loc_group_id=&invalid_location=false&country=NGA&city=®ion=&county= |

3. The job qualification na war. After going through all the job positions on the Amazon pages, I can state categorically that they are the minimum you can see in terms of skill requirements. It seems Amazon is aware that most Nigerians still lack the capacity to deliver at the high level. That is why they open most Junior level or associate positions. Others are not very technical positions as well. In fact with 3 months of serious studies you can master some of the requirements. |

4. Nice offer. All the best to the applicants. Me I still dey battle with jscript If I am in your shoe, I will apply. Let them reject your application first. In the process they may even suggest what you need to meet up for upcoming opportunities. At least with your application, Amazon knows that you exist somewhere and will probably keep inviting you for more opportunities. If you don't apply for fear of rejection, no company will know about your existence. 2 Likes |

5. I wish I have the qualification. My question now is what will you do about it since you wish you have the qualification. It is not enough to wish, if software engineering appeal to you, go for it. 1 Like |

6. They already have software engineers in Canada and the States they just don't want to pay them their worth. These countries have an aging population. Besides there are many tech companies in this part of the world competing for the few available experts. Advance in technology has also make it easy to hire remote workers and create a virtual workplace. Also, some of these companies are expanding to other markets. If they don't recruit in-country person, will they bring in people from USA to attend to the Nigeria market? Take note two that Nigeria tech companies also hire foreigners so it's not just about the pay. 2 Likes |

8. Most of the people we call yahoo yahoo boys can do this job very well. But we criminalise our talented young people and canonise our certified criminals with political posts Point of correction. Yahoo boys are trained to scam people not code. Many Nigerian youths are making legit money more than the so call Yahoo boys and they have rest of mind. Many of the Yahoo boys outsource the tech part of their scam business to other skilled engineer. So, please don't glorify criminality. 2 Likes |

10. Smart and racist move because they know an average African will do anything to live their country and seek greener pastures abroad. There are programmers there, they are just looking for the ones that don't know their worth. You say what? A company is trying to expand and looking for the locals to employ. If they bring there people and ignore the locals, I am sure you will be at the front leading a rally clamoring for quota system that they should employ indigenous people.

For those with profound skills in Agile, and a solid record in development, please search for Grind 75 and study all the questions for the next three weeks. This is ideally a mid-level role. Amazon places more focus on system design and behavioural aspects. They will likely ask "Common medium" leetcode questions, considering the country we are in, but 70% of the rating is gonna be on System design and Behavioural. Good luck 1 Like |
