Good day friends. My friend and I have been 'in-between' jobs since last year. She saw a post here on Nairaland she felt she qualified for so she applied.
She got called for the test which she passed and even got invited for the interview afterwards. She has gotten the offer letter but she is reluctant to go because of ... (you know what) the pay.
It's a Trainee position for 6months for which she will be paid 40k. From that 40k, tax, pension and Health insurance would be deducted. After all the deductions, she would be left with roughly 35k.
She stays at Ibafo and the company is at Ikeja.
Should she take up the offer?

Please advice. Thank you

Yes, for experience

Not everyone is in Lagos. You needed to provide more details to get better advice. For instance, what's the bus fare from Ibafo to Ikeja and back? Again, it depends on what she needs most at the moment: For example, is the pay her priority? Or, since it is a trainee position, does she value the experience above the pay for now?

Trainee Consultant in an upcoming Consultancy firm.

Let me verify from her. Thank you.


I'm back . Because she's also a part time student at UNILAG, transport each day costs 900/day. Working with 20 working days in a month, she'll spend 18000 on transport monthly.

35k minus 18k equals 17k. If the pay is her priority, this is surely poor. But the experience part of it could worth more than money. There are cases where people work free of charge just to gain experience (If you know Robert Kiyosaki's story, you'd concur). In my view - and also depending on other issues like whether she is single or married; whether she has kids or family to support; whether she has a strong sponsor for her studies, etc - let her accept the job for the sake of the experience. Or if she needed more time for other things, she could try self employment. Let her decide what she needed most for now in advancing her destiny: Money? Time? Experience? Other? Grab a good day.

the money is poor cos of distance and the position is not attractive.

.

jashar:


Ok. Thanks.


Kaiii... it is well ooo

take the offer, if you have nothing doing at hand, the job is an opportunity to network and acquire more skills, by the end of 6months, you won't regret it, they may retain you or you meet someone in the specialty that will assist you.

A journey of 1000 miles start with a step, I know of people who accepted job offer less than 30k just for the experience, and they are earning fat pay now, so she shouldn't be focusing on the pay now but rather on the experience, cuss with experience she can make a better future tommorrow, moreover, with the present economy in Nigeria, many employer can't afford to pay that much now so if a may suggest, she should take up the offer while she be at the look out for a better offer, cuss the devil you know is better than the saint you don't know. be wise o! there are limited job out there.

hmmmm, who says the position isn't attractive? What do you about consultancy?

Op, she should take up the job! Better opportunities will open from there. ..

Wow! Finally got the job. Congratulations!

Jeez 40k! Tough luck, grab it my sister with both hands. As long as there is no binding agreement that you have to stay 6months, then keep looking. Grasp as much as you can while on it.

Remember, experience over pay is what you should consider.

Don't worry, be happy.

How did the consultancy turn out to be?
Have you move yet?

this is silly.
where's she going to get the t fare from?
she better tell them to loan her the money for a small venture:
buy goods you can sell at school.
sell b4/after classes.
advertise on social media.
focus on turnover, instead of profit.

and minwyl-
beta tranfa to skool near ur haus.
N900/day transport, shior.
