Our story
Built by engineers
who made the journey.
We were engineers in Nigeria. Targeting roles at international companies. The technical knowledge was there. What we lacked was the reps — the ability to take everything we knew and perform with it under live questioning, in front of a panel who had never met us, across a timezone, with the stakes high enough to matter.
We got the offers. The companies paid for everything — flights, relocation, the lot. We spent zero on the move.
That is not a given. That is what happens when you can perform under pressure. When your answers hold up under probing. When the hiring panel, halfway across the world, decides you are worth the investment of sponsoring your move.
That is one path — and it is a powerful one. But it is not the only way. Some engineers migrate first through a skilled worker visa, a points-based route, or a graduate visa — and then land a job after arriving. That path also works. It just means you need to hit the ground running: strong enough technically to get hired quickly once you are there, not after months of searching.
My Next Hop was built to prepare engineers for both outcomes. The preparation infrastructure that used to only exist if you knew the right people or could afford the right coach — available to anyone with an internet connection and the motivation to put in the reps. Regardless of which route gets you there, the interview skills are the same.
There is a third story too. A growing number of engineers using My Next Hop are not planning to go anywhere. They are in good roles — at strong companies — and they are choosing to keep their technical edge sharp. Design reviews, performance conversations, the moment the room turns to you and expects the answer: My Next Hop is the place to keep that muscle in use. The depth compounds whether you are heading toward an interview or simply making sure the one you could have tomorrow would go well.
“The interview is the gate — whether you are going for a sponsored role, arriving first and hitting the ground running, or already well-employed and simply keeping your edge sharp. We built My Next Hop because we needed it, and it did not exist.”
The team
We are a small, focused founding team. Every feature was built around a real problem — one that at least one of us has lived.
Co-Founder · Network Development Engineer
Network Development Engineer and co-founder of My Next Hop. Built both platforms from personal experience — the interview preparation tool that helped her land the sponsored offer, and the migration planning platform Japa Reality, built for engineers mapping their move. If a feature exists in My Next Hop, there is a real story behind it.
Gbenga Joseph
Co-Founder · Network & Cloud Engineer
Network and cloud engineer with hands-on experience across enterprise infrastructure and cloud platforms. Co-built My Next Hop to solve a problem he experienced directly — the gap between knowing the material and performing it under pressure in front of a live panel. Focused on the technical depth of the question bank and the realism of the interview simulations.
Our mission
To give every network engineer — wherever they are and whatever they are working toward — the preparation infrastructure that used to only exist if you already knew the right people. Whether you are targeting a new role, a sponsored international offer, or keeping your current technical edge from going cold: if the knowledge is there, the only thing standing between you and performance under pressure is the reps. My Next Hop is the reps.
Built alongside Japa Reality

My Next Hop builds the interview skills that hold up under real questioning — whether the offer comes before you leave (sponsored role, company pays for the move), you arrive first through another visa route and need to land a job quickly, or you are already in a good role and simply determined to keep your technical edge sharp. Our companion platform Japa Reality is where you discover which migration routes are actually open to you — based on your finances, age, education, profession, and family situation. Some engineers have more options than they realise. Japa Reality finds your routes. My Next Hop makes you hireable for the destination you choose — and formidable in the role you are already in. Both platforms were built by the same founding team, from personal experience.
