I find it difficult
To land a Job.
I stay in Nigeria, and here in Nigeria, there is no local jobs that I can apply for as AI, Computer vision and Data Engineering.

Sometimes I use to wonder if it's because of my Location 😕😞

Anyone, has any good advice for me?
Please, I am all in for any advice.

Companies usually cannot hire someone from a different country because of tax laws. If you live in Nigeria and are applying to jobs in another country, they probably actually cannot hire you since you’re not authorized to work in their country. You would have to immigrate first. But if you’re looking for jobs in Nigeria, I am not sure what it’s like there so cannot comment.

I apply for remote mostly.
Most companies are not ready or willing for relocation.
I ready for a relocation, but I need to get a Job in the respectful country.
So thats why I go mostly on remote.
Here in Nigeria, my field are not been needed here.
Or i would say no local Job in my area of field.

Even working remotely in Nigeria for a company that does not have an office there is not common. US companies are not sponsoring h1b visas due to the $100k fee.

Yeah, that's the new visa law
Which is very discouraging.
But the US is not the only country on this planet.
Many others await skillful workers, like me.
But it's hard to find them.

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
