Fintrak Software Wants me To Sign 4 Years Bond,
Is there anyone within the company that could share some information?

What kind of bond? What's the implication of walking away before the end of the four years? I'm asking cause it all depends on the terms. Years back, I got a job that required me to sign such and according to the terms, I would be practically tied down within the four year period. I interpreted that to mean they'd been experiencing high employee turn over, and instead of them to find out what's making their people leave, they wanted to do a brute force approach by asking new employees to sign ridiculous agreements. So I turned down the offer. And guess what, they called me back and scrapped the idea. Did I eventually join them, that's a story for another day.

This is actually very common in the Nigerian software industry. The first answer that came to my mind was "don't sign that!" but your case might be different as there are factors to consider such as the terms of the contract, your experience level and how desperate you are (or how confident you are about easily getting another offer) and also, your age (how old you'd be after after the four year period might affect your employability then if your experience level doesn't level up, and they know this).

Best of luck!

I got the mail also

the fine for leaving before 4 years is about 6million,

If it were to be a 2-3 years bond I wouldn't mind but a 4 years bond is way too much for me. ( That's enough time to get 1 BSc, 2 MSc, or even 1 PhD.)
