r231: I never called him, unintelligent; I said temping everywhere is unintelligent. And you just alluded to the fact that the 'guy' in question also has his own limited company. Would you advise someone who hasn't got his own company to follow his footsteps? Bear in mind that your friend won't really pay taxes if he earns below £25,000 p/a. Stop giving examples of isolated cases to buttress your point, cite examples which are attainable across the board. |

jay bee: Taking all those courses also cost money. Egbon mi, you know how difficult it's to pay bills and rent ni ilu mama charlie lol. Money comes and go like magic, especially when you're not earning anything within a period of time. |

HiiiPower:They do cost money hence the more reason why you have to be calculated if it's your chosen route. Most Nigerians that do contracting just follow the crowd instead of creating their own niche. They are also known to start driving them top of the range cars, living beyond there means once they start earning the dosh. |

jay bee: Hey, that's the problem with most of our people. Everyone seems to always follow the crowd, and listen to 'feel good' tales. As for the ones driving top range cars, that's what get them the women lol. No wonder there are many 'iya n da gbes' around London, cooking fish stew for every available bachelor lol. |

I am due to finish my masters end of this month and already have an offer from an engineering firm, I also know someone who will finish this month and also has an offer with an IOC. A classmate will also start with an engineering firm when our results are ready. I know someone in my church here who had 2 offers, one being with and oil servicing company. The oil servicing company had to almost double his sign-on bonus to make him join them. There are jobs and there are people looking for jobs too. If you pray and do your part diligently, God will show up. Do you know that companies like Accenture, PWC and other consulting firms are still looking to fill their 2012 quota? Yet they haven't found the right candidates to fill those positions. for those saying there are no jobs please check job boards and you will still see vacancies that are open even though now is not the time most companies recruit-they are simply open because they have been unable to fill those positions. 1 Like |

HiiiPower: It's not apples and oranges mate. You can get a permanent job directly from a company OR through a recruitment agency! Recruitment agencies in the UK tend to receive a one-off fee from the employer for placing a permanent employee. |

For the 2 million Nigerians in the UK only 5 people have been able to share their success stories,that's not even 1%. Pls people should share the success stories for us to see but be honest about it because we know cooked up stories or tales when we see one,we can detect if you are a roadside agbero in London by mere reading of your post no matter the grammar used to convinced us. |
Re: Nigerians have good jobs in UK (enough Of Sad Stories) by Nobody: 6:36pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
r231: And to add to that, a lot of temp/contract earn a lot more than permanent staff on the same job. |
Re: Nigerians have good jobs in UK (enough Of Sad Stories) by HiiiPower(m): 6:39pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
Claus: And where's the company going to deduct that pay from? Most of you have no idea about what you're talking about. I believe most of you kids! |

HiiiPower: The Joke is actually on you. There's nothing like permanent jobs these days when you can be made redundant before you even start the job. If you are highly skilled, it makes more sense to be contracting. Yes, contractors earn more than than permanent staff..FACT. |

Thanks for sharing your story, I have loads of people with such stories but I hope they will come and share it here. People are making it both here and naija, so hope to hear more stories.

HiiiPower: I work in financial services and it's a very common occurrence in this sector. Forget all the bonus you get as perm staff. Add everything up, it still doesn't get near what some contract staff you are doing the same job with earn. |
Re: Nigerians have good jobs in UK (enough Of Sad Stories) by HiiiPower(m): 6:47pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
denzel2009: Loooooooooooool!! Explain what you mean by 'contractors'. |
Re: Nigerians have good jobs in UK (enough Of Sad Stories) by Claus(m): 6:48pm On Aug 12, 2012 |
HiiiPower: Hahaha. Cheap shot. Anyway, I work here in the U.K. and I had to recruit someone as part of my team. The remuneration negotiations we had were completely independent of the one-off fee we paid to the recruitment agency. The fee to the agency was relatively small at approx £3.5k. We spend far more than that annually on his training, airfare and hotel bills while on business, and definitely don't need to reclaim £3.5k from his salary. |

HiiiPower: English language was the never the idea behind this thread. This thread was to educate people about the UK educational system and jobs. Tell me, what would your club analysis do for an average man that wants a big break in the UK? What would a struggling village man make out of clubs in Bradford or Hull? My english is half-baked, right? Let my tutors & professors worry about that! Try improving your brain beyond the social scene/circuit cos its evident that you are a block head. Instead of you to educate people about the opportunities in the Uk, how to survive and what to expect, you are bothered about the club arena like that would feed the masses. I see your ego is bruised, u dnt need to hype or brag! Let people tag you as relevant! Na only my profile you check? You for request a background search, Rubbish! Please let willing members educate themselves, I won't reply you again! |

saxywale: If you're talking about 'highly skilled professional' contractors in fields that the particular has no permanent staff, who has the same skills set then, you might have a point. But what type of company outsources jobs, when they have people who can do the same thing? I bet you, if the company has someone who has the same skill set, as the 'contractor', there's no way the 'contractor' is going to earn more than the in-house staff. Stop comparing the wages of regular staffs, with 'contractors' who're above them in all ramifications. Compare likes to likes. That's like comparing the wages of an accountant assistant, to an ACCA qualified Accountant. |

Cuddlemii: Unlike you and your ilks, I can talk about clubs (based on the discourse at the time) and switch to talking about professional jobs, and what's attainable. That shows my flexibility on all subject matters. Brag? I haven't even said anything about what I do for a living, nor, how I live, simpleton. Add reading and comprehension to your challenge, and give me a report on your progress at the end of the month, dolt. |

denzel2009: Blockhead, tell me why companies outsource? And tell me why a company would outsource a job, it has an in-house staff who can offer the service required? |

wow! so hiipower is still here displaying his ignorance. Contracting is the way to go in the UK. if you have the right skills and in the right sector. Do you have any idea what some contractors earn i left my permanent role for a contract job and it has been no looking back since then. permanent job. . . . . nahhhh |
