Anybody else notice this seems like a lot of Somalis are getting into this field after university nowadays or transitioning from other fields into tech

we even have our own community Somalisintech on twitter and instagram with thousands of people connected

what do you guys think about this seems like a good development for our community

Rarely meet anyone really in “tech”. It’s usually filled with people who are interested in IT or recruiters or even someone selling something.

Get a Degree, for the people who genuinely are serious working in IT. Currently working on my masters in Computer science then will obtain my PHD

100% this. Most of the Somali majors I know in CS are completely bullshitting it, none of them know how to properly code

I barely meet anyone who acutely graduated. Most drop out as soon as they take database classes, or even worse they cant through calc or discrete maths. The ones who do leave to work in other areas like management. Im yet to meet any somali working in actual tech with a 4 year stem degree.

Tech was the shiny field in 2010-2020, where you could land on any job by just knowing one or two languages, no prior work experience, now it is crowded af and needs new more complicated skills to get a job. Imagine they ask 3 years of working experience for entry levels?
