How can you grow remaining stuck in your comfort zone?? You are comfortable with a job that isnt challenging. My brother go to the new company and test your strength and skill.

I wud have agreed with u on dis BUT when i remember dat dis is Nigeria a country who careless of its citizens on how Foreign entities treat them, I think its beta he remains at this comfort zone for now until a beta opportunity presents itself.

Mafa Mafa O lo fa.....................

You should be looking at upskilling yourself. NOUN, CIPM, MBA

Going to a Chinese would limit your growth. Working in a company with big name doesn't necessarily mean you will grow career-wise. I am a living testimony to this.

Dear NLanders,
I have been working for a tier 1 Bank in Nigeria for some time and so far it has been quite good. I work with great people and the pay is reasonable. Recently, I got an offer to work in a multinational telecoms company. While this seems like a good offer, I am worried about working for Chinese/Indian companies because of the negative report about them generally. Your considered opinions and/or experiences would be appreciated.

Many thanks...

Go for a job that offers peace of mind while working with them.

So far, Chinese, India and Lebanese do not have good records regarding respect/human feelings for employees

My Brother,

Teleco in Nigeria has a flat structure. What i mean is that the growth path is not there unless someone resigns, gets sacked or dies can you get an opening. Then over 2,000 people will apply for the role.

There is no promotion based on performance like banking.

Look before you leap

me I av few questions to ask.
Is the bank work stressed u dat much? did they treat u wit respect? is the bank work affecting ur home/ relationship? av there been any career growth from the bank?

Think abt dos things before leaving. Cos personally from my experience Chinese/Indian/Lebanese company is nothing to talk abt. Fine the pay might be quite good, but trust me u will work for dat money, sometimes dey feels they are doing u a favour with the pay.

Not of all of them thou, I av few people who says good things abt dem just like some bad and good Nigeria owned companies too.

I had encouraged u to do finding abt the company well from people who worked there probably via LinkedIn. Ask questions as regards to why the position is vacant in the first place and lot more. I hope this helps.

Good Luck

If it is Huawei leave the bank and accept the offer quickly before it's too late.

The experience in Huawei (a multi-national telecom giant) is much different from the average Chinese owned one man business out there, don't let the terrible emotional stories out there deceive you. You can't compare the remuneration (the complete package) and the other perks with what the average Nigerian companies offer.

Unless you are a top executive in your bank and doing extremely well, don't let this opportunity pass you by smiley

In my honest opinion there are a lot of factors to put into consideration before I give you a professional opinion.
First , what is the nature of your employment with the bank you currently work with and what kind of employment are you being offered at the telecommunications company?
Secondly, what are you drawn to? Do you think you have a flair for that industry?
Lastly, what contains are you currently working under with the bank and what conditions will you be working with in the telecom organisation?

Once you can answer this I will give you proper directions.

Good luck

Multinational or not, Chinese and Indian companies are the same. It's about orientation.

Beware!!!

To make all these worse is that employment in telecom industry in Nigeria is without any form of security. The employees do not enjoy protection of the labor movement.

To be fore warned is to be fore armed

Of course, the pay is better chief.... That's why I'm considering in the first place.

Bornsinner7:
Since you never indicated which of the Chinese company and if the offer was better off than your current job

I'd suggest you remain where you are.. you already stated that the pay is reasonable and you're good with the job..

The experience in Huawei is much different

Huawei is a top notch telecom company. That's why she needs to give more insight abt the Chinese multinational company.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

My candid advice to young professionals - Change jobs and change roles every 3 years before you become under-appreciated at that old job.

It broadens your reach and keeps you fresh with new challenges.

It's not always about the money.

You applied got the job and now considering if you should take it. What was the motivation for applying? Since it is a large company, there sure would be appropriate structures in place. Go get the new job.

Salary is about 50% higher than my current take-home with added allowances and benefits. As for improvement, I'm not quite sure but I guess that's a personal decision to make. Pieces of training at the current job are limited to areas concerning financial institutions. Lastly, there would be no need to move address as both companies are in Lagos. Not quite sure about house/flat/car allowances.
Thanks

Neutralobserver:


1. What is the salary like at new job compared with old job?

2.Any room for advancement, training, etc, etc. in new job vs old job

3.Any fringe benefits like extra allowances, offical car, house/flat, etc etc. Do you have to move adress to take job? Are you comfortable moving address?

Where are you people seeing all these jobs?
I have been applying for job since 2020 till date, I have not been called for one interview. And the positions I have been applying for are the ones I have similar experience on.. I don't know where the problem is coming from, should I blame village people for this?.
Abeg I need better job..

@Op, if the new job pays better than the one you have, I think you should go for it. Forget about what is said about Indian/Chinese companies, it is not a bad place to work.. Cos I'm currently working in an Indian company but my salary is not that much,, What they want from you is, do your work, be smart, don't give them excuses why you didn't perform , they just need positive result from you, that's all.. If you do all these, you don't have any problem with them.. They hate laziness and unseriousness...
Good luck in your career
