Either you pray and trust God to direct you or you choose UBA outrightly.

The recent contract staff in UBA were almost disengaged at the end of their contract but by the intervention of some senior personnel in UBA, they were converted to permanent staff. For UBA, you have a chance of conversion but Zenith is strict with their terms of agreement. Also for UBA, you certainly would learn more. In all, trust God for direction because he knows the future. As a man, I would suggest you go to UBA.

I could use your advice…

I have recently finished medicals with Zenith bank and UBA, and I am pretty sure to land both jobs. Both are contract jobs; however Zenith is offering a two year contract while UBA is one year. The salary difference is not much, so that is not a deciding factor for me, at least not at this entry stage…but I would love to know the pay at confirmation. I’m more concerned about career advancement and job security now.

I would appreciate your inputs as to which offer is best. Kindly state the reason(s) behind your suggestions. I would really love to hear from bankers.

Thanks.

Kowing his pocket rate will help me make a choice. If he's the U KNW SAY MONEY NO BE PROBLEM type, then i'll recommend ZENITH. But if he's the I DONT LIKE WASTAGE type, then UBA with indiscriminate act of ten ten naira deduction for ingenuine reasons is your portion.

Do not I repeat do not go for zenith.
its a life contract job, you will quickly see that there is staff and there is others, thats you. I dont know the uba situation I admit, but I know the zenith one, and its not nice. Its better than nothing, but you have uba which isnt nothing. If your fear is the contract lenght, the both always renew it, in uba they might/should convert you to full regular staff at the end of it, in zenith they never will, you will always be different, you will always be contract. But then again experience is the best teacher.
Bro, there's somtn very untrue about an aspect of your post
Re: Please Help Me Choose Between Zenith And UBA by jogojogo: 11:26pm On May 14, 2015
I am a Banker, UBA is a bigger brand than Zenith and honestly you would learn a lot working in UBA than working in Zenith Bank. I am talking in case of contract engagement.

in human opinion and as a staff of one of the mention bank i will advice you to choose Zenith....Not because of the duration nor de likely reason of bin converted. the truth is; in both banks u may nt bi likely converted. we that ae in de bankin sector we ae tired n lookin for somtin beta. as a mata of facts all banks ar movin into de contract stuff. infact almst al organisation in Nigeria ae drivin towards dat. but Zenith is a lead n de workin environment is beta compare to uba. al said and done; commit dis matA in 2 Gods hand n seek His direction bcus he knws de end frm de beginning.

@OP

The bitter truth is that neither of prospecting job opportunities qualifies to be ascribe the revered term " work " . Therefore , I will advise you to go for the one that offered you better pay margin . Meanwhile , here in nairaland , you cannot find bankers , rather at most you will see bank workers .

ADVICE FROM A BANKER..the only bank that converts iis GTBANK and they are d best becos they keep icreasing their contract staff salary from 68k to 80k then 90k b4 converting automatically..I once worked with dem BUT d remaining banks do not convert but would always renew ur contract..they can never ask u to go unleSs on an integrity issues or not carrying out due diligence.

SO my brother the factors to consider are as follows.
1) Go for the one that pays more and be ready to save d money and start a business then reign or else one day d job wud resign u.
2) The bank that is closer to where u live..banking job is streSsful, don't add lagos traffic to it.whish wud make u wake up 4am and reach home 10pm
3) Closing time..some bank close 4pm while some 5pm..GTbank closes 5pm
4) How busy d bank is.. don't go to a very busy bank..becos d crowd wud give u job dissatisfaction.
5) Saturday banking..some banks allows their workers to come on saturdy.
Apply this ideas b4 u choose, NOTE: the first and second point is very important..thank me latter..and remember my brother, u are not a BANKER but a BANK WORKER

Is the contract renewable after the initial term?
Did the bank renew the contract of the ones before you?
How often does the bank lay off their contract staff?
Length of contract: 2 yrs vs. 1yr.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years.
