let me tell you one thing bro. What seperates you from others is taking the plunge when others fear for their life. You have been earning 26k for a year, ask yourself are you progressing or are you stagnant? Since you started the job, how many ICT training have you embarked upon? You seem so comfortable and very much afraid to take risk. Years from now you would be in regret and bitterness when your mates overtake you, will you take responsibilities or would you look for whom to blame for your shortcomings?

Welcomme:
I graduated in the year 2015 and did my NYSC in the year 2016 to 2017. Ever since, getting a job has been something else. Well, last year I took up a teaching job in a private school and the salary is around 26 thousand naira. I have been on it for a year now. I hardly have time for my self considering the number of classes and periods.

I recently got a job with Stanbic bank as a Direct sales agent (marketing) with a salary of about 50 thousand.
I am afraid of taking up the offer because of all these bank targets and how to meet up with the target. I am afraid let me not lose the job I have now and take up this offer and can't meet up with the target.

Pls those that have done this DSA job and others can do well to advise me and give me first hand experience and way of meeting target.
Thanks.

Firstly, I'm a DSA with a bank and right now I'm considering resignation. Let me explain your job role to you in case you don't know. As a DSA you are a foot soldier and your core duty is to achieve a target of account opening and other bank solution which include cards and other bank solution. You may also be given SME target. Not meeting it is not a problem in your first 2 month. But subsequently it becomes an issue when you consistently fail to meet those target. Remember you are to work under every circumstance so under the Sun in the afternoon you must work. You will also have deposit target, for me it is 1.4million naira monthly but I've never even gone pass 300k average balance. You are also to book loan and manage customer. One of the fear factor is that you can't go pass 50k earning as bank always have graduate trainee and your chance of getting converted to a full staff is very slim. Although you can also converted since some people have trend that part before and are in a better position today.

Conclusion
I don't regret taking a DSA job role with my bank. In fact the experience is worth it. But I think the effort I put into my target if channeled into my own business, I will be a better person.

Before you choose weigh your options well, research your job, meet those who are currently working and ask about there experience( you can ask anonymously) see whether you can cope.

Don't make a decision because you felt your mate are more successful than you. Most of them won't tell you what they are going through.

flexyrule:
I know a DSA that works with Stanbic that earns over 350k as commsion every month. Management approved that he should be converted to a full staff at Entry level with a lower pay and he refused.
Its not always about where you are, it's about how well you're doing wherever you are.

CreepyBlackpool:
Taking the bank job is a risk oh!!
But if you aint risking you aint living.
Sha try the bank job. If it don't work out, the school will most likely not take you back.
If you run out of options sha, you try political thuggery, I hear it pays well

Phygo:
The highest Risk in life is not taking Risk.
Or
Are U scared of challenges.


I'm a BSc holder,but managing 45k here in Kaduna with one heartless India company.
I work 7to7 including Saturdays. Most times I come on Sunday after church if there is need to run production.

Guy, man must survive. All na experience and ability to explore other opportunities.

One more thing, WORK SCARCE OOO.
Abi U wan carry LAPPY?

Tolumiide:
Bro, look at yourself earning 50k, like the experienced teachers in that school in the next 11 years and make a decision now.
You're comfortable in that school now because you have no responsibility. I have been in a private school environment for awhile, tough doing some other ICT stuff to boast earnings, I can tell you that teaching in a private school is not a good option for a man. As a graduate, instead of taking up a teaching job with 30 to 40k, go and learn a hand work, with your education you will surely make a difference. Take the risk, do other things too, keep on moving bro. God will surely help you.

shakaranews:


Well said bro. I was a DSA with Access Bank, pay was 40k. They promised retaining us after appraisal, but we were dumped like garbages, all of us. I surpassed my target, but was still dump.

I hated the job, I hated everything about it because we were treated as trash, other bankers treat you like slaves, oga will always be shouting on you as if meeting target is easy. In fact, I hated the job with passion and have also developed hatred for banking jobs in general. I don't apply got Banking jobs. The bitter truth is, no banker, I repeat, no banker, including the Managers love their jobs. Everyone is jus tired and frustrated in that building.

I laugh when most people laugh at teachers. Do you know that most people are now coming into Education/Teaching? Teaching is one of the best profession around.
The ops did not tell us what he makes after the monthly salary of 26k. What of the pp he does? What of the holidays? You have started on a low level, what you need to do is to improve yourself by going for a PGDE, then you move to an international school where you will be happy
with yourself for being in the right profession.
My brother, THERE IS NOTHING IN BANKING!Its glorified profession...please improve yourself in teaching and you will never regret. Stay in teaching....it pays....You will thank me later.
