You'll start seeing a lot of dick measuring contestants here. The real people who are making 10M + per month don't need to shout. BTW, if you're earning 150k per month, go and up your skills.

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!

The mistakes OP made are: not mentioning the grade of employment - experienced hire or entry-level; industry/field and state of residence. Even in the US and UK, salaries across fields and regions differ. The major difference between Nigeria and the US especially is the latter churns out jobs pretty regularly. Although some industries have had a lull in employment and inflation has devalued salaries.

Everywhere toff!

Why Not, Blogging Business Is The Best JOB

princeemma69:
yes people are getting it, most banking jobs and big 4 pays more than 150k and their job recruitment is mostly based on merit

You will get it, by God grace, Amen

Anything below 500k can't be considered as high paying job . Even 500 k should be considered as average income

Kola5281:
I still went for an interview this morning, the pay is within 250-200K here in Lagos, no be managerial post ooo, just normal post, i just hope i'll be called.

200 -250k for a Job? Nigeria is cursed. People are earning 900-1.5m where I work

Really?

My company pay most Civil works associates on contract 150k-250k base on your negotiation ability. Mid level staff collect within 500k and above. All unit heads earn over 1 million monthly. It's a renewable energy company by the way

Yes they do, 150k is small na, even 200k-500k and more dey but

1. E fit be say na your salary as the owner of the business sha or

3. You fit bribe or sleep your way into the jobs or

Your post is the reason why 'high paying' jobs might be elusive to you.

I earn above half a million, (salary). My friend got a job in Lagos a tech firm too and he gets paid 2.3m monthly..


There are jobs Bro... For the past 3 months, I've made over a 1.2m monthly from salary and other freelance jobs, but I am still not happy..

Things are tight asf..

Location matters as well.

₦300k in VGC or Asokoro might be equivalent to ₦800k in the village.

If your job is remote I see reason why one wouldn't relocate to a town where things are quite cheap.

At the end of the day, it boils down to how much you can save after deducting comfortable expenses.

I concur, but irrespective of your earnings, try to be happy. I know it's not easy as I also find it hard to be happy, but we all need to be happy as people serving the happy God.

No connect sir.

I'm serious

I earn 1.5m per month but I won't consider it it a high paying job compared to my certifications

Exactly. I earn 1.5m per month but bills no dey allow me save above 100k per month. The country is no longer funny. Our naira is shit

FriendsAndFans:


I'm in nigeria and we spend naira at the moment.
Omo if it's dollars I won't mind o

I'm looking for employment or a business at the moment

Can you be a driver for that amount?

With nepotism in tech your days are numbered in that job. Tech is not for quacks.

Na lie....I am a living testimony...just gather 4-5 years core experience in an area, don't follow crowd (most persons are data analyst these days but there are some roles that pay higher), sell yourself, hunt big(apply to bigger companies, don't underrate yourself, na people dey work there)....you will be highly sort after. In Lagos, a poor man can secure a very good mouth watering job.

Anything less than 500k is not high paying job with The present economy

Your No. 4 ought to be No. 1

That is human for u .

We can never be satisfied untill we will leave d earth.

That's why d rich are also investing to get more richer

Babawee:
people earn above...
I work with an indegenous company here in Lagos
take home is 240k
I'm still on the look out for a better pay...
for me an average pay should be 400k and above

You dey greedy o!

YoungDaNaval:

Which bills are you paying that only 100k will be left out of 1.5m

Yeah, they’re still out there, but they’re not as common as they used to be. You usually need specialized skills or a strong network to land them. Tech, oil and gas, and some finance roles can still pay that much, but it’s competitive.

FriendsAndFans:
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

Above 250k though

Apus:
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.

What are the online gigs

mkoabiola:
Anything less than 500k is not high paying job with The present economy

How much is 500k?

Absolutely
Try getting a relevant skill after research and apply for a job that’s remote from abroad

Try banking, you can still get in without a godfather if you meet age and qualification requirements

If you have a rich family member that can move their money to any bank for your sake, you can approach a bank to get a marketing job if the deposit is substantial

Try NGOs they pay well too

Start an NGO yourself and apply for funding from abroad. Do exactly what you say you will do to help society and pay yourself a good salary legally out of it


Start a YouTube page and drive towards monetization. Just $100 per month in advert revenue and merchandise sale is equal to 160k naira


Start farming. Still pays alot

Rear goats and chickens

In the middle of the scarcity in Nigeria, there are people doing very very well. Infact anytime the naira devalues their naira income increases

cucumbar:

His a chronic womanizer and doesn't understand how money works.

Yes! The least paid staff of seun that owns nairaland hens 500k per month
