Hi There,
I am Dr.CK , I have been offered a job as a General Practitioner from Gleneagles Medical Healthcare Ltd, based at Victoria Island, Lagos.
I am actually fascinated by this job offer but i am also confused on making a decision.
I have been reading the posts in this forum and most were informative, but, i still have some queries and it would be a huge favor for me if i could get some right information & suggestions.
My queries are as follows:
1. How much value does a doctor have in a society? aspects of respect, response & safety
2. How much does a doctor earn? as i have been offered 300,000 Naira/month + Food + Accommodation, is this package worth
3. Would my salary be enough just for surviving or will i be able make some savings
4. What all terms of contract i will have to take a double check?

Is this ur first job doc? If yes, then grab it for more experience purposes ...u never know until ur IN..

They offered you 300,000 naira per month!!!!!!!!! + food + accommodation and you are here talking about respect and shitss.??

Why are you rubbing it in bro?
Take the goddamn deal Doc and stop making us feel bad.

Tell us more about your experience level and if it is foreign or local experience.

Are you a junior or senior doctor? How many years experience do you have?

Is the accommodation in a serviced apartment and are they paying the annual service charges?

Is the food when you are at work?

What about transportation? They are not giving car and driver?

Dude grab d job with both hands.... 300k is nice for a start up salary... The problem of living in VI is the high cost of accommodation, but with 600k you can get yourself a standard self contain apartment or better still you can get a cheaper 2 bedroom flat around obalende

Tell us your experience before I can judge

Is this a temporary role?

This appears as if they are not giving you any real accommodation on the long term.

This is an accommodation you can't move your family in if you decide to have one, you can't furnish and design as you wish and you can't have social occasions in.

You will need your own apartment if it is long term. If it is, what is being offered is just something that allows them to put you on 24 hours call, not for your convenience.

A 2-bed apartment in the VI locality would set you back between N2m and N3m per year, add anywhere between N100K to N800K per year for services (if it is a Serviced Apartment residential set-up and depending on what services are being provided).

A 2-bed on the mainland (further out) world be between N0.7m to N1.5m.
