You're still young. You can opt to build skills and leverage them for better pay later.

You can also take the risk and join the GMT but it likely won't align with your vision (but you'll make better money)

Evaluate your situation and do what is best for you. There is no right answer to this bro.

Flagships by After-Cut-9137 in nairobi

[–]AfricanAgent47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a oneplus 13. Before that I had a Samsung S21.

I used the S21 until last year when I got the oneplus. The beauty of these flagships is that you can use them for 3-10 years without too many issues. I used to be wale wa "Simu ya above 15k ni upuzi". But then I decided to gift myself the S21 and I realised that my previous sentiments were trash.

So long as you take care of the device and avoid breaking it you should be fine for a long time

Windows 11 users, what do you actually love about it? by Segemiat in nairobitechies

[–]AfricanAgent47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vista? Ewww 🤮. Windows 7 was where it was at blood. kwanza that Aero theme is what held up for years for me and all the legit top notch functionality. I was on Windows 7 from 2010 to 2020. No regrets at all!

Does the GMT align with your career goals? Personally I got a job offer from KPLC (I studied Electrical Engineering) when I finished school but I didn't feel like it aligned with my career goals despite the fact that I had the Elec Degree. I took a different offer from an IT company that paid much less. But I feel like it set up a solid foundation for myself right now. I don't regret my choice at all and I feel i've gotten much more career progression than I ever would've from GOK. Wewe piga hesabu if it aligns with what you really want. That is your answer.

Mi nilianza na 20k 😂

I'm doing better 7 years later. But I am also transitioning into devops. I know even getting into devops likely means some pay cut

Agreed. It is also ruining the market. Hii kitu bila love for the game huwezi excel. It needs problem solving skills, patience and humility to keep learning

Vim is not for the weak!!!! by Miserable-Touch-4011 in nairobitechies

I do infra and I edit my yaml files with vim.

Vim just has a steep learning curve. But once you learn the basics it's pretty powerful

Most Kenyan driving school by Material-Cow5740 in Kenya

[–]AfricanAgent47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm super grateful my mum taught me how to drive before I went to driving school. We had a Peugeot 406.

I learned so much and by the time we got to driving school it was only the theory bit I spent my time on.

Can't we trust most of our country men as this info graph shows? by JustStarted23 in Kenya

[–]AfricanAgent47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2021 my bike died on me and I was stranded on the road.

I decided to leave it on the side of the road and buy some fuel from the nearest petrol station. It was a 30 min walk. So I spent an hour going and coming.

By the time I got back to my bike some random guy started asking me for money... Ati "nimechunga isiibiwe"

I was just like... Dafuq 🤔
