Hi @stuxnet79. Yes, great talent is in demand, especially engineers and data scientists. At last count there were only 2,000 sr engineers available in Nairobi.

Hi @stuxnet79. Yes, great talent is in demand, especially engineers and data scientists. At last count there were only 2,000 sr engineers available in Nairobi. An absurdly small number for a city of our size. On data, everyone sees it as the infrastructure of the future. Data underlies the financial sector, as few have enough collateral. Data underlies the supply chain when there is so little price transparency. First Access and Twiga Foods are companies in each space respectively. Compensation varies pretty widely. Anywhere from $30-60K USD / year + equity for entry level. Like everywhere, this depends on company stage and sector, FinTech+Corporate being the highest salary.
