You could be doing it for a job, to join a spouse or family, because of peer pressure or to japa. These are good reasons but not enough

You really have to do it first for yourself. The TechNation application process makes you take a pause and do an career inventory check and answer questions like this with hard solid evidences:

🚀 What have I done so far in my career so far?

🚀. Have my achievements been relevant so far so the local and global tech ecosystem? Have I made true impact?

🚀 What are you beyond you 9–5? Are you more than your work?

🚀 How well have you braved and made something of yourself despite the ravaging economic conditions ?

🚀 Who is rooting for you and really gets excited when you get big wins?

🚀 Have you been an asset so far to your employers, colleagues and mentees?

🚀 Are you just working or building something or doing both?

🚀 How well informed are you of the trends, development in the global tech ecosystem! You can be a tech bro and still be completely ignorant. It’s wrong.

🚀 Do you have a mission for your career yet? Or you’re just winging it!

To be endorsed by the TechNation body as a UK global talent is that career appraisal you never knew you needed, a very thorough, intentional, specific process meant to verify and validate you as an exceptional promise or talent.

After multiple failed attempts at full masters scholarships, failed visa applications since 2017, and a complete first rejection from TechNation, I mean there were great achievements then but terrible attention to stated and requested details.

Second attempt technation attempt? came back strong, prepared and got a solid win in record time!! Got endorsed in 10 days [standard wait time is 8 weeks], been live in the United Kingdom tech ecosystem more than a week now., exploring new climes, a bigger career launching platform to the entire world!

Another Win for the year in the 0.6% success rate category.

If you’re a Mid-level and senior talent within the digital technology space? You need the TechNation Appraisal. You need that reality check. Trust me.

Here’s to more wins. This time, more global wins.🔥🔥
