mechanics: What kind of useless advice is this? Do you live in Kaduna? Yet, you are crying of security! When was the last time you came to Kaduna? |

motymop:Bad advice. Op if you decide to take up the offer, make sure you relocate with your family.Because of the security ish in Kaduna I would have advised you to forget the job. All the same , just follow your heart. |

motymop: OP just follow this advice. Don't let those who don't know shit about Kaduna put fear in your mind. See this as an opportunity to improve in your career, since you're being given more responsibilities. This shows growth. And moreover if you continue to stay in your comfort zone, you'll get too comfortable and you wouldn't know what you're missing. Kaduna to Abuja is just about 2hrs sef 2 Likes |

Weigh your options carefully, check were your long term gains are and use your head to make your choice to your advantage. The place you are is it better, on the long run what have you gained so far, what will you gain so far staying back. On the other hand were you are going to is it better for you, what do you stand to gain many more year to come.....? Check all favourable options and work with it. You are in a better position to decide your Advantage. |

First congratulations sir, note its not the whole of Kaduna that is unsecured talking from the angle of a person who has spent more than 25yrs in KD. Although I have no knowledge of banking but I do love challenges. ultimately I will tell you to pray about it to God for guidance. congratulations once more Sir. |

FairlyUSEDpussy: You shouldn't be asking this question, you should have resumed in Kaduna since last year. The fastest way of growing in banking, is by moving from one good bank to another. Often, this movement comes with promotion (the next level), better pay, exposure and contacts. In all, growth! And you are better positioned since you'd be working with the Group Head. This means, steady growth and advancement (promotion every 2 years), talking from experience. Grab this opportunity and never look back, provided the third generation bank is not among those struggling to survive Modified: Sorry, you were quoted in error, was to quote the OP 1 Like |

Talk to a team lead or someone with negotiating powers about the offer you have. You might get a better offer from where you currently work. If not, I'd advice you to move as that's the fastest way to climb the ladder in the banking industry. |

san316: If you're not married please take the offer move and enrol into an MBA program in Zaria ensure you finish it before 3years time and see yourself become a potential Division Head. Better still there's NEXFORD ONLINE, MBA, which is also acceptable and they're gaining more grounds now. But if you're married consult your wife about the relocationg issue. Remember why you applied in the first place it's not for you to chicken out. Remember to also keep building your clients base, you'll be getting extra points in terms of appraisal. 1 Like |

san316: Bros, GRAB the offer fast!!! 1. If you crosscarpet or port you can never grow in the banking industry. 2. If its a newer bank, better for you, that assures faster growth dlr you. The levels are already filled in the old established banks. 3. No need to be in a comfort zone, experience would help you develop new relationships and grow your customer base. Basically, your management would give you at least 1 year before confirmation, and nothing would happen even if you did not meet targets. Sales is time based, they would give you more chances. By the way, never forget LAST IN, FIRST OUT MANTRA in the banking sector. Cheers, wish you a progressive career in your bank |

I am ex-banker. You need God guidance to take an informed decision in the Banking sector. Assuming you give the names of the banks and new role, I would have been able to advise to some extent. |
Re: Dilemma: Advise From Experienced Bankers Needed by ppogba: 5:35pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Life is all about taking risk. Staying put where you are is a risk. Taking the new offer is also a risk. Life expectancy in the banking sector is short. Go for the new offer and save like a mad man. Whatever you save today will be your saviour tommorow. |
Re: Dilemma: Advise From Experienced Bankers Needed by jjmk(m): 5:40pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
san316: Just move. The fastest way to grow in the banking sector is by moving. Then face the new challenge head on. At the back of your mind remember that u will need to move in a few years time, hopefully to a higher role. Goodluck and all the best. |

san316: I will advice you move from your comfort zone for the new experience. That is the way to grow in the banking industry bro. KD to Abuja is not that far, you can be coming home weekends to check up on family and all. The city center in Kaduna will surely be safe security wise. I've once been in this same situation of yours in the past, I decided to stay in my comfort zone when I got another offer in another bank. I was so comfortable nothing will happen to me but 4 months after I rejected the new offer, unexpected happened and I was let go of my so to say comfort zone. Going back to what I rejected, I was told no chance again. Like someone mentioned earlier, you only grow in banking by moving from one bank to the other which also include locations. In fact we have so many scenarios where you can come back to that your bank with higher responsibilities in future... Also of utmost important is PRAY about it for God guidance too |

Re: Dilemma: Advise From Experienced Bankers Needed by kings4sera(m): 5:46pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Oga, What is your grade and what grade are they offering you in your new Bank? Is it a marketing role with targets to meet prior to confirmation of employment? Does your wife have a Business she is doing in Abuja that she will have to abandon all because of your new role? Are you enjoying your present role and Boss irrespective of the pay rise you may get in your Kaduna?? If you eventually lose your Job in Kaduna where are the opportunities available there relative to Abuja because Laslas Banking ends in Tsunami |
Re: Dilemma: Advise From Experienced Bankers Needed by ibechris(m): 5:47pm On Aug 13, 2021 |
Pls,If u love ur family and ur life reject that offer. Kaduna is the most violent state against other faith. Apart from herdsmen crisis there,it is the only state in Nigeria that experienced more riots and violence than any state in Nigerian. Most people are running away because of the insecurity that has befallen the state and the current governor isn't helping matters at all. Pls,remain where u are and I am sure u love ur family. Abuja is far better than any state in the entire North. Goodluck to u. |
