Hi guys. I have never been more confused in my life than today.
I lost my contract job on the 28th of March 2018. Since then, I have been networking and applying for jobs online too.

Fast forward to today, I got offer letter from a private firm I did interview with 2 weeks ago and I was asked to resume tomorrow, May 7th. Now today again, a federal university I submitted my CV with (man know man thing) contacted me that my name is on the latest employment list released. Both jobs have almost the same salary. I'm confused like kilode! I don't know what to do. My mind is tilting towards the federal job but it will require me to relocate while the private firm's own is located in my state of residence.

I have never been this confused in my life. The private firm's employment offer demands two weeks notice before I resign or they will hold my guarantors. Please advise dispassionately. I have been looking for work for nearly two months. Now, it's coming as a confusion to me.

Mods please move this to front page. I need to think properly. Opportunities like this don't come twice



Federal job.
Job security and opportunity to improve and grow your research profile, publish, apply for a scholarship abroad and leave the country.

Despite being the first to ask the Op to link me with the private job, he ignored and linked someone else(a female)! Wetin man dey do him fellow man! cry
How did you arrive at this conclusion? He has repeatedly said he will see if he can recommend someone to take his place, how do you expect him to do that when he has not decided to leave the job yet? Please stop hastily jumping into conclusions especially as you are still looking for a job as i could lead to loss of opportunities.

That's my offer acceptance letter from the private firm. I have already filled and scanned it back to them before I received news of my name being in the employment list of a Federal university.


Mods please help me send this to FP. Please
go start work your grace, while you wait till you have the letter from the fed. Shortlisted name Is not a guarantee of the job my grace. Till then nairaland can advice you on how to tender your resignation letter to the lords of the private firm.

I don't know why I'm the only person advising the OP to take the Private firm's job.








Maybe there's something I'm seeing that others can not see.

You already know the truth, I am sure this question is just for formality sake. Perhaps, incase your village people have decided to blindfold you, kindly return the appointment letter to the Private firm if you are really sure of the Fed. Govt job. The two are not comparable even if the Private Firm salary is higher. Fed. Govt job remains the best, even better than most Multinational company jobs, except you are looking at a career path you want to pursue.
Bros fed. govt jobs are over-rated. Apart from the juicy agencies like CBN, NCC, NNPC, NIMASA etc. all the others na wash......as an assistant lecturer in a fed university, my salary was 115k, na me carry my leg run enter private...no be all private dey bad; higher salary, more bonuses, more training opportunities, faster growth etc.

He asked her to DM him and you said "he ignored and linked someone else". Read your comment again.
All I am trying to say is do not be quick to crucify someone as it may lead to missed opportunities.
Wish you the best.

Re: Got Two Job Offers Today. Please Advice On Which To Choose by Princeofasia: 2:40am On May 07, 2019
take the private firm. or better still ignore both of them.
no be advice you want?
Re: Got Two Job Offers Today. Please Advice On Which To Choose by engrJAAB: 7:41am On May 07, 2019
NO BIG DEAL BRO...Congratulations, everything na double double.

Go and resume at the private JOB first. The fed govt job just says your name is on the list, not that you should come and resume. It might still take months before you will called for verifications and resumption.

So go ahead to start the PRIVATE job. When it is time, simply give them the two weeks notice and leave.

I think you should take the federal job. However, you can start with private firm first. You may not start the federal job immediately.

Meanwhile, call for your excellent project research work of whatever kind.
Re: Got Two Job Offers Today. Please Advice On Which To Choose by Nobody: 8:11am On May 07, 2019
Accept the private job for now because the federal job might not release your
appointment letter until months later. Also you can always resign from the private job and accept the federal job. The federal job usually give you more time to accept the offer. Relocating shouldn't be a big deal. Married people relocate and from your write up it seems you're single. If it's the location you don't want you can apply to another university with time.
All the best.

From my own perspective, But the first person didn't quote or mention the OP like the girl did. Of which he can easily see the mention. Unlike the open air many comments just like the first guy. The girl was specific not just commenting but quoting the OP direct for help.
From ur own perspective. How many times u don help ur fellow guy over a girl undecided

Bros, before taking any action as regards the confirmed job placement at the private firm,please be double sure your your FG appointment letter is handy AND YOUR NAME NOT SUBSTITUTED on the long run. Resume with the Private firm first. Thank you.

My believe: Whatever you do for a man, is a debt, which could be returned someday. Whatever you do for a woman, is a gift!
