I must say i am a lucky and hard working girl.I finished my Bsc dec 2014,took my cert 2015.I got a job after an interview with an electricity distribution company in 2016 with the help of my aunt who happens to have the power as the HR.Am not upto 6months in the company.Which is the due time for our comfirmation.Now,i have another job offer from a commercial bank in Nigeria to be paid up to 80k.Now am confused cos i have alot of plans i need money to execute.Working in a financial institution will hasten my plans of travelling out of the country with work permit as an accountant.It will also get me more experience. Leaving this current job that pays lesser,my aunt's dissappointment,and the pressure employees of commercial banks faces recently is worrying.Although my aunt promised me a better position with accounting dept after 6months.I need constuctive advice.I dont want to make mistake thinking am wise.

Maybe if you answer this question: where do you see yourself in 5 years? You'd be able to decide which of the job aligns with your long term plans.

Op wateva u do let ur aunt know so dt she can back u up.


Na beta person.

My advice is limited to the infos u posted
Firstly,
1. The bank S is higher than ur current S
2. The bank will hasten ur plans of traveling out of the country
3. The bank would give u more experience compare to ur current place of work
But,
1. Which is more sustainable?, considering the way bank re trench staff at the slightest downturn
2. Do u know the opportunity ur current place will bring when u get promoted in 6months time to the accnt dpment in comparison with where u wnt to go
3. Will the salary u get after d 6months promotion equate or beat the 80k?
Be patient my dear, ponder over this advice of mine and ASK BABA GOD, because *mAN propose GOD dispose*.................. #OnlyGodKnowsAll

How will d bank hasten ur travel out plans dear? Or do u mean financially?

And if d salary u are being offered at the bank is 80k them its most likely a contract job. I could be wrong

However, from the info you have given, ur present job seems more attractive in terms of security( and the presence of ur aunt ). Besides you are still a dtarter, your present pay is not that bad. You could grow there faster.

Keep your eyes open

Goodluck

Bank jobs are not guaranteed ... And you work like a slave ... Except is a top position ... Reasons why I hate been an employee ...

MY ONLY ADVICE 2 U IS, PRAY N LISTEN 2 UR CONSCIENCE. DO LET MONEY BE UR MOTIVATING FACTOR. BELIEVE ME I NEARLY MADE DAT MISTAKE SOME MONTHS BACK.

you never start work u dy think of retrenchment


bank 80k....I smell UBA!

I believe that if you understand the magnitude of the risk you want to take now, you will back out. The bank job is enticing with just a minor salary difference but have you considered the pressure of meeting up with targets, late night working, using your salary to cover up for any loss as a front desk officer (cashier at the counter) etc. I will advise that you dont look at the supposed blissful life of bankers, get closer to them to know their pains. If you do, you will not jump the gun. Finally, think of job security. I believe with your aunt as HR, your job at the electricity company is more secured. However, the final decision lies with you.

contract staff in bank? dont be deceived dat bank job which is more likely a cashier role will not hasten ur move out of Nigeria. beta go write acca but with an 80k salary how u wan run d acca
