I haven’t held a strong opinion on anything in this app in a while but in this, I disagree with Noble Igwe 1000%. YES! Millennials have it easier than GenZs. Gen Zs are working harder, and doing multiple jobs is not a flex. Let’s do a quick root cause analysis. Why do people have to do two or three jobs in the first place? Yes, there are more tools and opportunities now, but the world is far more competitive. Inflation is wild. The cost of living keeps rising while salaries stay almost the same. Entry level folks are struggling to even get interviews. Layoffs are happening everywhere. Remote work opened up the market globally, but do you know how many people consistently get rejected for those remote jobs simply because their location is Nigeria? Today they’d tell you frontend development is the skill to learn. You learn it. Then it gets competitive. You go and pick up web3, problem. You move to product design, suddenly “there are too many of you.” It’s exhausting. If you had ₦3 million some years ago, you could buy that Camry muscle. Today, even if a Gen Z earns ₦5 million from a freelance gig, that same car is out of reach. I know the world is bad for everyone, but Gen Zs are feeling it the most. They’re starting adult life in a time when everything costs more, opportunities are fewer, and the pressure to “make it” early is intense. So no, millennials don’t have it harder. Y’all had more stability, clearer career paths, and a (somewhat) economy that rewarded consistency. Gen Zs are figuring out survival in chaos, juggling jobs, building skills nonstop, and trying to stay sane through it all.
