Crash out 🤦🏾‍♀️

I guess everyone is experiencing the post graduation depression. It's hitting me in my guts right now. Here is the situation. I have been home(shags) for the better part of the year. The last months of the year I came to Nairobi. Everyone has been insisting it's better to be in Nairobi than shags to have a better chance in landing a job/internships. I even left shags because it started draining me mentally. Everyone wants to know when you are getting a job...why are you not working ...look for jobs online.

The issue is when my folks leave in the morning for work and come back in the evening and still find me at home, I know they feel disappointed. Then the conversation about jobs come up...ooh you're not aggressive, don't be picky ...just take any job. In short wanaona ni kama uko lazy. They still don't get the concept of remote work. They think you're not busy enough.

I came to Nairobi after all that...I'm being hosted by my aunt. The situation is the same pia huku. Everyone looks at you kama uko lazy...like there is something you should be doing that you're not doing. Niambieni place naeza enda nitoke tu kwa nyumba ...there are alot of side eyes.

I have a degree in Computer Technology, specialising in Software development.( if you have gigs involved me). What are people doing differently that i have not done? Especially in software development. I have solid projects on github. How are you approaching clients for gigs? If there are volunteer dev gig available. Involve me please.

End of rant. I want to hear other perspectives on how to navigate this phase.
