AntiWailer:My dear, 180k to 1milli in 10yrs doesn't happen again since post credit crunch of 2009. Besides I never spoke about money. I spoke about career growth, self development, cognate value addition. |
Re: Do Not Accept A Banking Job - I Refused To Listen by AntiWailer: 12:03am On Aug 05, 2020 |
FellaG: It still happens. Just take that from me. The strategy is that u dnt stay in one bank and before that can happen u need to acquire required skills and keep developing urself . Your career growth, self development , cognate value addition are all dependent on you. |

Invest your time in IT my man...Be a guru in whatever specialty you choose. Below are a few examples of good paying IT certificates. If you are good at what you do, you don't have to leave Nigeria to work in the field, trust me. Personally, I would go for AWS....

14june: Visit nairaland programming section and search for Data science. You'll see a post by Ejiod on how he made a transition. You'll gain insights from there. You can take free courses from edx.org or coursera.org All-in-all, it will require a great deal of determination and mental fortitude but it's worth it in the end. 3 Likes |

LyfeJennings: I've kept on saying that I am comfortable but career dead. How do u guys skip that part? After working for 10yrs,you will realize that money is not everything. Earning 200k as a bachelor without time for other things seem like a big deal. Earn the same 200k for another 10yrs being married with kids, yet with no time of your own or freedom to pursue your ambitions or career growth then comeback here and say what u said again. 2 Likes |

The best advise you will get is this: Find a problem that is facing Nigerians daily, look for a solution. You will see yourself embarking on a journey that will build you and reward you financially. Never go into any field based on mere recommendation, do the research yourself. It will save you heartache in the future. Dunning-Kruger Effect states that, “the knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task. meaning - the less you know about a field, the more you overestimate your own ability in relation to that field. the more you know about a field, the more you underestimate your own ability in relation to that field Now you are at a cross road, the Dunning-kruger effect will definitely come into play here, you will get a lot of suggestions and will definitely overestimate your ability to succeed in those field. Instead of looking for trending skills, look for problems around you and go into overdrive on how to solve those problems and you will be amazed that people will be willing to pay you for the solution. Elon Musk is a classic example, he had identified problems in the US (NASA high cost of payload, ineffective electric cars, etc) and he went on overdrive and came up with solutions to NASA issue, electric cars etc and soon is on his way to becoming the richest man soon. I left Nigeria few years ago and when I arrived in my new environment, I noticed a problem here and it had to do with the payment system I started searching for ways to solve the issue and finally found it. When I launched the solution I was amazed at the number of people begging to take their money to use my service. It changed my life. 1 Like |

truthsayer009: For market facing staff (marketers), you can even earn promotion every year (very rare these days) but it’s guaranteed 2-3years upon excellent performance. Please note that some spend years on same grade and that’s because they performed below expectations. To avoid remaining on same grade for too long, Banks then introduced “notch”, this way, a staff can move along the notch line (steps) but still on same grade but salary keeps increasing minimally until normal promotion comes. One can get an outright promotion without necessarily moving along the notch line but it’s based on excellent performance. It’s also easier for marketers to move from one bank to the other and such movement comes with next level which is the same as promotion but in a different bank but be rest assured of pressure to deliver on set target. Growth is easier for marketers while the back office staff (operations, internal control/compliance, IT staff etc) can remain on same grades for years. I know of a bank where the operations manager spent 13 years on same grade. She was not alone. So many others experienced that. |

showafrica: Some people here are urging him on. I am not discouraging anybody but for somebody at that age and being a family man it is better he find another job or start a business then he can then study programming a side hustle. But programming as the main hustle no dey easy o. I am talking from experience. 1 Like |
