Thanks Intelligent dude.

The altitude of my bosses and colleagues towards me presently is very positive, and I believe it will be same in the new place. My calculation is has analyzed below
New Place,
Additional N53k monthly, smaller organisation compare to my present, head of my unit, job can last for at least four years, and unknown working environment.

Old place
Bigger Organisation, has more future in terms surviving, work as a support to the head of the unit, friendly colleagues and fear of being tagged not loyal to the organisation by requesting to leave in the first place, the last is my major worry.

I will weigh and add all the advice I get on this platform and other friends to the risk calculation before taking final decision.

Thanks

Bro, Good morning.

I understand how you feel and what's running through your mind. I red Bus Admin and Hr at the same time so I can practically say this situation can be handled without any fear. In Hr and the society at large, you have every right to air your view especially on situations that affects you directly. Don't be scared of losing your job just because you expressed your grievances, I believe those people there are well educated and should understand your plight. We are all human beings!

What you just need to do is prove your worth by putting in your best on your job. Let them see the reason why you need to be treated fairly and justly. For them to have listened to your complaint means they never wanted you leave the organization, Besides, given the size of the organization and such other things as job security, friendly colleagues, your passion for the job, etc, just don't worry, it's all gonna be fine staying there.

I want you to bear in mind that, an organization where employees grievances are considered and handled with just and fair, such org is the best org to work. They can never think of using it against you because they know your worth and will not want to lose you in a hurry.

My brother, all you need now is God and continued personal development. I know you are way older and experienced than I am, but this advice is based on my professional view.

I wish you God's favour on this job and all your endeavors. Go bro!! No shaking!

Hi OP...I bet you...while both positions has its perks...while I see you are obviously missing something which goes beyond money. At the new organisation you stand a big advancment in your career which is being head of the Unit.
While dangers associated with this may include a new organisation may sway eitherways by growing or folding. If you are not scared of taKing risks the new organisation will be a good place for you but if you have responsibilities and can't afford risks. You can stay with the present job. However, if you decide to leave make your present employer see the reason you are leaving them isn't because of money. Trust me you pass a better signal telling them you intend to leave because of the position not money...best of luck

my advice would be to leave, if you have been around the corporate world for a while, you would know that later your current organization would still hunt or victimize u for this action of wanting to leave. They know your worth and don't want to lose you, but they would not bat an eye lid if they are to relive you of your role. so my brother move on. plus you said, that the new place is offering something above what your current place is offering, so why wait. However, if you look at both organizations, which has a better corporate culture, work-life balance, etc. these should also come into play when deciding.

Cheers!!!

I am sorry if you see this as oppressing, I did not start earning this in in first job, even though some are that lucky, I started with a job of 35k in 2008, and the 35k was reduced to 18k monthly when the organisation was not doing well, and when it folded up, a got a job of 45k in Abuja in 2010, and that of 60k, and that of 100k e.t.c before I got to this point, and I hope to get better and I pray for God's favour. We shall all be blessed, time and chance makes the difference between us and the rich

This reply is really motivating. I started with a 6k job in 2009 wen i was 18, i have upto 15,18,35k now am on 60k and i wish to go higher. Can u please tell us what qualifications u werr able to bag on ur jobs that made ur value dis high n what industry you are in. If u dnt mind, it is really appreciated.

Stay...if they did notvalue u they wouldnotve raised ur pay. At times a technician does a job for me. I know his pay is 2000 naira but i give him 500 naira. If he takes it my bad and if he wants a race i go to 1k till we reach that 2k mark.
So ur company mite b usong same tactic. Stay with them and proof ur worth for this race. Dont show signs of being too greedy though.

Good day to you my fellow Nairalanders, I kindly need your advice.

I got a new job five months ago, and my monthly net is a little above 300K. On getting to the organisation I discovered my that some of my colleague with same skill sets earn close too 400k. I became demotivated, and I started applying to other organisations, and just last week I got a new job offer of above 400k monthly, I spoke with my supervisor on it and about me resigning, and after 3 days, the management of my present organisation called me and offer to give me close to 400k if I decide to stay. Please I kindly need your advice.

I personally will love to stay because I love the Organisation and my skill are well appreciated but my major fear is that it may be used against me in the nearest future by my present organisation. I really need your advice especially for someone that has experience this below.

Thanks

I was just laffing reading the first post. Op why are u pressing people upandan na? Well, I like your story. It reminds me of mine. Attended an interview once and one of the interviewer was surprised that I have worked in several places. She wondered if I won't leave theirs soon. Now to your question, if you love the environment and the culture there, pls stay. I remembered where I once worked, the salary was OK, the title was mind blowing and if you enter my office, if you be babe, you must gree by force, but I hated everyday I spent there. I was even surprise I didn't die from bp or heart attack.

A lot of people need to change their mind set. The country is in recession does not mean there are companies not willing to pay for value. When a company or organization knows your value and are confident that you would be a great asset to them, they would pay any amount to keep you.
So the challenge is to constantly develop yourself, so you can get to the point where you are seen as an asset and not an option.

@OP, if u still enjoy the work enviroment, colleagues and other incentives in ur present job, then u shud stay with them but if the problem is not just the salary difference, then u shud move to the next one cos if u don't, it might come back to hunt u in the future... sometimes, a new challenge is always worth the risk.
secondly, pls could u send me a good CV to my email - ifeanyie12@yahoo.com

Once you aim, pull the trigger.

I think you should take the new one; unit head and fear of being tagged not loyal.

@OP I will advice you to take the new job and move on with your life. No matter how friendly and considerate your present employers are, when the going gets tough no employer will stand by an employee who has ever threatened to resign in order to get a raise.

A friend of mine got a job in Sokoto and his family was in Abuja. after 4 months he applied for another job that the position is in abuja. He apploed and was invited for the interview. The guys were curious abt why he wanted to leave so soon and explained but theu werent convinced. to them he seemed like an unstable guy who wont take time to contribute to their organization instead he will be looking for where the grass is greener. So he was dropped. Its usally advisable to stay in a play for at least 2 years... maybe 1.. but some organizations wont take1year. If such appears frequently on your CV then employers will become very wary aboit hiring you
