I’d argue yes. There has continued to be more VC opportunities and PM opportunities as conpanies continue to establish global HQs in Nairobi, Joburg, Accra and Lagos. I’m not as familiar with the Northern opportunities. I do think it helps to be at an larger tech company then transfer to their office based on the continent.
