And here i am thinking of quitting my job of over 300k cause it's stressful as f**k and i find it hard to save.

I don't mind getting a job with less pay that gives me time to face my online gigs.

If you can’t save from 300k, trust me even 500k won’t be nearly enough for you.

Hello I am curious. What is your idea of high paying jobs? High paying jobs are Job offer that pays above 150,000 naira.
Do people still get those kind of jobs nowadays
Even a job that pays N200,000 is no more a high-paying job as at this moment.

Sorry! I am not trying to sound insensitive. But i dont think 150k to 300k is high paying. 300k should be classified as avrage at best.

I just changed $200 x #1575 (geegpay rates) this morning and more than half of that money is gone as i type. Now that amount of money can never be classified as highpaying.

This is coming from someone that still lives under his parents roof ooooo

Before some say things like you are living above your means. If no be say una want person to dey chop low budget food once a day. There is no way to go about it.
What do you mean by geepay rate. Is that a financial platform?

Human beings always compariing nonsense......Some even dey use USD calculate, job wey you started for 70k 3 years ago and they now increased your salary to 150k, some mumu go convert am to dollars and expect the companies to increase salary to something suitable in USD. ......No be juju be that? Is the company making twice as before in profits or you just expect it to perform magic?


Let's all go back to common sense reasoning, high paying job is subjective, for someone earning 60k, 150k na very high paying job. For someone earning 150k, 500k na very high paying job and for someone earning 500k and above, 2 to 3 milla per month can be considered high paying, while someone in my condition won't even consider 15 milla as high paying.

All in all, even if na 100k you dey earn, what matters are your expenses, more than 50% of all workers in Nigeria earn less than 150k per month, how dem dey do am? Figure it out and you'll discover the difference between knowledge and wisdom!

Sure. Just that competition has ballooned as it is survival of the fittest. Also, certain metrics such as young age to beat age discrimination, being so good at passing aptitude tests and the name of the university have been made everything tougher. I no lie give you, I am not sure I would be able to compete in the job market in present-day Nigeria. The population choke plus anaemic growth. If Indians and Chinese youths could leave their countries and go to other places to get jobs, Nigeria shouldn't be different.

You are spending in naira. OP could be living in Ado-Ekiti or Benue. How does 150K sound small in those places? It is like you people don't know the Nigeria you live in.

Remove the mindset of man no man shiit. It's exist for sure but there are private establishments that recruit on merit. Very many as fuvk.

Get the right skills in your field and be proactive. Don't stay idle and give up. Change field if necessary.
A very important aspect many young Nigerians should do away with. Apply early, perfect the CV/cover letter and most importantly, practice aptitude tests. That is where most job applicants fail. Be very good at Dragnet and whatever tests are used for assessments these days. Applicants who can ace 5 out of 10 of such tests would get a good job within a year (centris paribus).

Focus on yourself. Nepotism is there but not all firms hire through the back door.
