My people.....have you ever taken a career break?
When is the right time for one to take a career break and is it workable in a society like Nigeria where everything seems hard and most jobs are not easy to come by.,,......

I'm asking because pleasure at work now has become so intense and it's taking other things away from my life..,..that my regular leave days will not suffice.....

But how do I explain that I just walked away?
How I'm sure that I can quickly get something else once ready to return to work?

Would advice will be highly appreciated

This thing called career, does it really exist?

Just look for what will serve the masses while putting money in your pocket

You are still repeating the word " career "

It doesn't exist oga!

Just do what will serve humans and get some money

Education is mainly for exposure and higher reasoning ability

In an unstable economy like Nigeria, your focus must be economic stability and to achieve that you must understand how to use the principle of entry and exit. Know when to enter a place and when to leave, but before you leave ensure you have maximize your opportunities.
1 It all begins will having a purposeful vision and a 7-10 years plan of progression
That will make you develop more skills to be strategic in your field or choice of endeavor so that even when you are silent you are noticed
2. That you have a functional wealth creation and wealth management plan that can carry you upon your exit
3. That you have the right networks that can pull strings for new installation for you.

All I mentioned is what politicians don't joke with.

Village people have made a sculptor of you. They have started manipulating the head.

If you take a break, you will break down completely. Don’t try it. Don’t let your village people to rejoice at your downfall. J did it once, I regretted it. Luckily, I am a computer professional, so it was a little not too difficult to get another job, but I am still regretting the break till date. As a matter of fact, I have .......

After rigging election like Tinubu and shouting emilokan throughout your campaign....

Na joke o, but Tinubu rigged election Sha

Back to the topic, it all depends on the individual...

Once you're frustrated

That's a bad idea in a country like Nigeria, unless you have other streams of income.

I would suggest you stage your vacation as a means to free yourself off the pressures in bit. An alternative is to get another job and tell them you will be resuming maybe two months from now. Resign from your job to give you enough time to relax before transitioning into your new job.

I remember when I resigned my job at the bank trying to get into tech.

Saved up some 1m and designed Tshirts for amazon in their merch program.

8 months down.. The 1m had depleted down to less than 100k and the amazon gig wasn't paying that much.

Omoh. I con dey see shege small small....

Luckily for me, before the shege metamorphosed into shege banza, I secured another job with a small financial institution.


Career break!

Save a lot of money. A lot of it. The Nigerian labour market isn't like abroad where you can get jobs easily.

Make sure you have a side hustle or business that can take care of you. Not one one kobo... I mean a side gif that can pay your rent, feed your family and you still have small change left.

Else..... Career break go turn to compulsory early retirement.

Today

When you’re tired

whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Try not to relax too long on your break

Na village people dey whisper to his hears

After u don make like 200 million naira in cash.

When you start doubting your life. And you no longer know if you are coming or going - time for a break!

When your body tells you to.

when you are done!

don't ask me. i don't have a job 🥲🥲🥲

When it's getting boring
You can try and learn something new in another field

Career break isn't a common thing in Nigeria because of unemployment. It's common in the western world because people need to rest and do some other stuff e.g. child bearing. The job is still available when they return.

career break in Nigeria?? lol.. only if hunger get break.

meanwhile

I offer Forex and Crypto trading Guidance and mentorship program. Feel free to pm me if interested.

I took a career break, and never returned to my normal paid employment. My work was becoming boring after 2 decades, and I knew that I shouldn't remain in paid employment to my 40s, so I took a long leave to do a contract out of state, when I returned, I resigned.
