My brother, I have been in this situation in my early days. I can only ask you to consult with your God. And b4 u quit the job you have (that's if its ur plan eventually) make sure u hvae ur offer letter. Contract jobs can be shitty but with God we are all winners. |

Seek God's leading first. D fact that it glitters does nt make it a gold. And sometimes little is much if God is in it. Final answer!!! Seek God first.# Ilevic 1 Like |

You should take the new Job, not just because of the obvious reason (cash incentive), but for the future. I mean, you will be working on a project with a reputable firm. Don't you know the booster that will give to your resume? As opposed to working with a relatively small, unknown company? Guy, don't even think twice. This is a great opportunity. 1 Like |

Hey Buddy, take it. Life is a risk, Face life with confidence & courage. I had a similar situation 2007, I got a 3 months contract job with same MTN doubled my current pay which was a permanent job. With counsel from my late mum and his Grace I took it. It led to many opportunities and I have moved up & done pretty well in my career. Please pray about it but take it. 2 Likes |

Everybody is screaming take the new job! take the new job! @ OP you didnt provide us with the duration with the new contract, is it 3months? 6months? 1year or indefinite contract, knowing the length of the contract can help you plan ahead. If its just a year then i will advice you to stick to your present job, its not always greener at the other side ooo! and more also job recruiters dont like someone who hops around in between jobs, just have a re-think and as people said, put it to God in prayers 1 Like |

domwas2: It depends on the kind of work the new job entails. If it's going to add value to yourself and also boost your CV, please take it and keep searching for better jobs. Like someone said above, you might meet some people there and hit big connections. Personally, I will take it. Best of luck |

Monetarily, assuming your new job is just for 6 months, you will get wealth of 1.2million. while in your present job you can only amass that sum in 30 months!!!! Technically you have gained 2 years!!!! Even if it will take you another 6 months to get another job. I believe you are still good. MTN is a well recognized organization in Nigeria hence your resume is better than before, more robust, more experience and more presentable. Inter-company experience is actually also better than working in a place all your life because you gain more experience in "business" processes and meet new people (networking) which is highly important. My advise...go for the new job. Dont let fear of the unknown debar your progress. Good luck 3 Likes |

5 times of what? That's more like a month's salary handling your current job's 5-month salaries ![]() Well, you must make enquiries on how long your services would be needed at MTN to avoid making a 'silly' mistake. |

The point here is not only you should take the MTN offer for the pay but also for the experience which will add to you Resume.you will have another job Experience and also a higher pay.who knows where the next offer might take you to.A higher level I think.so come on,grab the opportunity and move on.God has more better things down for you. |
