I am a techpro in a 3rd world (4th world maybe) country, Zimbabwe to be specific . Now it’s well documented that development in Zim is at a stand still. Now what bothers me is that despite the knowledge that I have in I.T, I wouldn’t know how much, but I have seen other pro’s from other countries asking relatively easy questions yet they have higher positions and a better paycheck.
I.T in 3rd world countries is not developing at all and when an I.T pro tries to go elsewhere there are all these restrictions inspite of having better knowledge.
There is no help from outside when you are in I.T in a 3rd world country. To add to this situation many undeserving people end up at the top in 3rd world I.T departments because of nepotism and corruption.
What does one have to do to really develop their career in 3rd world I.T? I have worked in various industries in Zimbabwe but I am deeply dismayed with the state of affairs in I.T. I want a balance between career development and a good paycheck but it seems the more I try this i just cant climb the ladder.
