the newme accelerator is not for africans. it's for black people in america, which is different. the latter group is of african descent but live in america. if Yawboakye went to the newme companies to look for a job he would still face the same issues that he would have faced with any other american companies. my advice is to do elance/odesk until you can get what you want.
- 1dundundun 13y agoI'm pretty sure that NewMe Accelerator network could be a good network for him eventually but the main thing that he'd need to do regardless of race/culture is to get some experience under his belt. I agree with others. Freelance to get some experience and if possible, get to the states for school and work your way from there.
- yawboakye 13y agoI'm very aware I need experience. That's why I'm looking for a job. Okay so my main reason for looking for a job is because I want to grow and learn as much as I can while being on a team at my workplace. There are very few good programmers here (in Ghana) compared to the US or Europe. I can only grow so much if I don't get a job in the top 2 or 3 companies in Ghana. IMO it's different with the US where there are millions way better than me and there's tons of good companies. It's easier to find the opportunity and environment to grow to become a better programmer. I can move on afterwards.
