Instead of him to stick to his construction job, learn the nitty-gritty of construction, get his contacts and one day start his small construction company where he will in turn become an employer, he is busy looking for government job where he will be receiving salary and doing less work all in the name of job security.

With a federal job, you're less likely to be fired without notice or some flimsy 'downsizing' policy. It also does come with some 'benefits'. However, in the end of the day, it's your choice to make. Think through it.
Just to add to his point. You are about to become redundant and unproductive to the nation.All what civil servants care about is promotion and salary increase. That is what civil service is all about here in nigeria.

Govt teaching hospital, ur salary can't be more than 100k. E too try 120k. Infact am almost sure as an engineer in d hospital u will start with 70 _ 90k . That range. Then u have to wait every 3yrs before u get. Promotion if there is vacancy ofcourse. Then u get addition 15k. Every year u add a step and get 3k. There is no housing allowance, wardrobe allowance , car and what have you.

You will leave a slow and steady life.

Pros you can close by 4 and u can always liaise with ur colleague to go do ur outside runs.


Or u can connive with odrs and sell govt disel .hehehehehe. That was a joke.

Okay oga I don't know how much they pay u in the firm u are, but this is the exact situation. Coming from someone in the system.

So make ur choice.

You don't know the salary structure and you received a job offer? Are you joking?

Even if you didn't then why did you apply for a job without asking around for the salary?

Later you would come here complaining that you salary is too small and your boss is over working you.

It could be godfatherism , he probably didn't apply and will only know at the end of the first month of work what he'll be earning. I know a guy who graduated the same time with me , had a 3rd class and boasted he would get a job before any of us in my class , sure enough the guy received an offer just after NYSC from Lagos state ministry of Agriculture ( We heard his uncle was highly placed in the political arena in Lagos then ).

That's a lie . There is no how you will get an appointment from FG without know the pay ! F.G agencies will always write what you will earn on your appointment letter.
Anyway, lets assume that you are dreaming of working with the FG and you are considerin leaving your job, if that is the case ensure you have your letter before leaving oooo .

Calm down bruh. I work with federal govt and I have no letter yet. I don't know my salary. Employment letter comes after training.

if that should be the case, try and know the salary range. But if I were you, I would leave the construction company unless they pay 'hyper' form of salary. This is due to the fact that there is job security working with the fg and you will actually get promoted when due and also retire benefits is also there.
Re: Should I Quit My Present Job For A Federal Government Job? by momove4real25(f): 4:39pm On Aug 20, 2015
It depends on ur qualification. D Health salary scale in any ministry difres from normal civil servants, if u enter start from level 8 that's enjoyment fr u. Even d state gvt health workers prefers that job to that of private sector talk less of Federal. I dnt think dre is job security in private sectors once u leave that's bye bye. But public or civil servant u av ur gratuity and pension. Take d job if u are asurred. if u quit one job fr another without bin sure.

Kai see people dying for a job I want to quit. And nobody has. So far answered the question. Coming from a construction company I guess U r not a medical person so U will be entering at Conhess 7. Ur take home should be btw 105k & 115k. I know u thought its 300k. For ur info a director in the civil service takes home just above 300k, that's after almost 30 years in service. Is that your vision? And get ready to survive without pay for at least d first 3 months (that's how long it takes to get u into the payroll).
Forget FG jobs, this job security rubbish makes U mentally lazy. There was a way the so called insecurity moved me to create my own security when I was in private. But all that disappeared when I became a civil servant, afterall salary will always come. Leaving private to FG is the biggest career mistake I ever made. I'm in the process of unmaking that mistake.

You applied for a job and you don't know the salary range whether through scrupulous or unscrupulous way and you are here seeking for futile advice instead of embarking on a rigorous research.

Please stop disturbing us with your problem because it will be hard for you to make a right decision when you don't get your fact right. What a lazy man?
I actually did not apply for the Fed govt job, my uncle just thought it wise to inform me of the opening! If I may be interested! And I see it as an opportunity to get closer to my political ambition! Thanks any way for the advice!

Whether your dead grandpa or the ghost of your age-long dead grandma applied for you or not, count it as an opportunity because many might have put their heads and legs in it but to no avail.

Therefore, there is nothing hindering you from conducting the findings whether on line or offline. If you dedicate a day to do your research even by visiting the company or otherwise, there will be a way out.

Please don't make any decision until you get right information: information is the key.
