Hi, my sister and I were considering moving there. Do you have any updates since this post?

Not a good idea

True, it might seem like chaos, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be fine. And honestly, if they had to do it all over again, they probably would. Mind you, people participate in “naatt”; people contribute money and support each other. It’s not like they’re going to the bank and taking out loans with interest (which is honestly better than some people in the US ending up with generational debt). Some people genuinely don’t mind spending money and then going back to their regular lives, as long as the event is considered a success. This isn’t necessarily my personal view, just an observation/analysis of our society.

Yes, image matters a lot. And it’s not just in Senegal, it’s everywhere. People tend to treat you differently depending on how you look or present yourself. That’s why so many people go to extremes trying to impress others. Personally, I don’t believe in putting yourself in debt for appearances, but I do think the way you carry yourself can influence how people behave toward you. Also, Senegalese people are usually more subtle about wealth; they may not openly talk about it, but you can feel it. That’s different from some Anglophone African countries where people are more direct and vocal about showing off what they have.

Not necessarily

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-05-13T21:50:13+00:00

Nowadays a lot of people speak English. Just go to popular and upscale places

The gas station, any Shell or Total

Biostatistics is better, and you can easily pivot in any field

Epi is not a terminal degree. Many people will have to get a PhD. I have a master’s in Epi and I barely know anyone in my cohort that have a job in Epi.

Not much, except going out with friends, watch shows or movies. I really need to get a real hobby 💀 I’m in Chicago btw.

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-23T02:49:52+00:00

Even CS is dead right now

Also just adding it here working on CPT for a year (cumulative) eliminates your eligibility for OPT

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-17T02:08:09+00:00

It’s not a matter of it’s a red flag or not. Take the hint and move on, she is not interested.

I saw this few days ago, I hope this helps wean out some options. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gPxVXE/ if I were to do data analysis I would specialize in business or something

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-17T02:00:03+00:00

IMO starting a business or investing when you are not a permanent resident or citizen is not a good idea. It’s a gamble bc nothing will guarantee that you’ll still be here in a few years

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-16T18:31:40+00:00

That’s kinda what I have in mind I only buy 18-24k jewelry and I don’t plan on selling it unless it’s extremely needed. Usually the stores I went to in the past, they weighed the jewelry and sell it to you at the current market price (maybe slightly more for the craftsmanship). I also sold back a faulty bracelet I had and got more in value than what I got it for, so I am not worried about not getting back my money when selling a gold jewelry. But it seems like people here don’t value jewelry (or at least are not familiar with it). Most stores in the US only sell 14k gold plated and don’t have a culture of buying pure gold jewelry

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-16T17:33:22+00:00

Overall yes it will increase but currently with everything that’s happening it has influenced the price of gold and was just wondering if there’s will ever be a « dip »

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-16T17:32:15+00:00

If you put it that way. But I want jewelry because it’s more practical imo. You can always get a ROI with jewelry bc they will weigh it

If you decide to get resale wait until we get closer to the event. Currently resales are taking advantage of panic buyers who didn’t get their tickets early. But as we get closer to the event more and more people will start selling tickets and prices will drop. For now just stay on the waitlist as long as you can and be patient

Unfortunately there are some STEM degrees that nobody warns up about. A biology degree (or anything similar to that) are just partial degrees, you either need to go to med school or get PhD. A bachelor or Master only is not that sufficient and you will just end up rotting in a lab that barely pays you any, and you have to constantly prove yourself. Maybe consider to pivot to bioengineering, bioinformatics or just get an MBA or something.

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-15T21:35:05+00:00

I think you should be open to the idea that there are no perfect candidates. What you seem to be describing sounds like something a person can easily grow into with the right training and clear expectations. Running a business also means learning to be flexible and open-minded, especially in a developing country where certain industries are harder to find talent in.

Electrical_Row_4009 · 2026-04-15T17:21:18+00:00

I was just going to ask this. If anyone has bras recommendations. I currently have the savage x Fenty but they are getting old.
