“I have been in America for one year and six months. I have had a job for close to nine months now. I work as a Data Centre Technician at Google. To me, Google is the best company ever. They give us breakfast and lunch, there is a basketball court and other facilities for employees. As a company staff, you are even happy working because of all they offer aside from the salary.”

Jeffrey who lives in Virginia said he works for eight hours each day. He added that, overtime allowance is also paid when one works beyond their agreed time.

Jeffrey encouraged every young person who can venture into IT to study and venture into the sector.

“You just have to be determined when you come abroad. Don’t let anybody discourage you. Some of the older ones here have not led a good life, so they do not give good advice. Everybody cannot work in the tech industry. There are other jobs that you can do and equally make money.”
