yeah 90k is weak for O&G work. 800k is more like it

BUTCHCASSIDY:

Lol just clocked , cleaners, admin,receptionist etc work in oil and gas company too ! So maybe deoends on the job role cause its wayyyyy too low ..
expect that pay from Tantalizers. Or Mr biggs

To be frank, she doesn't have job experience. Her CV is blank. She need experience to put down on her CV. You guys should remember that she is been giving the offer as a fresh graduate.
The writer did not tell us of #100k is her basic salary or basic with other allowances.
As for me, i will tell her to give it a try for 1year. If she didn't like the job, she can leave the hob and go back to her own stuff.

The only advise one can get is the one-one advises him/her self, work out the Maths by your self, while working for your self how much do you make in a month, secondly, how much the company that wanted to employ you is to pay you in a month, compare and come out with the answer yourself, if your business pay better, stay put, if not take the job, don't forget to take other factors into considerations

Very correct. The distance from her home to the island is another problem. Serious stress. Well if she has the power, she can accept the job and still continue her business. At least if business is not moving, salary will help out at the end of the month.

An important factor is cost of transportation. This will gulp a chunk of the salary too.

She should hire a sales boy/girl to help her manage her business and go ahead and take the job. If a relative is living close to her shop, she can ask them to help her monitor the sales boy/girl activities from time to time.

It's more productive when you put all your eggs in one basket and watch over it. Your business basically turns to make or break for you.

Ain't nothing like a "side business" if you are looking to breakout from what you do. It's either you are here or there! You can't seat on the fence and expect to break even.

hello ,
Please i think i know some of these oil and gas firms and their administrative jobs..you first have to understand that, the oil and gas firm is not an oil firm they go out(send their marketers) to find jobs for the company and hence is not like you will be having other oil firms coming to your office( giving you room to get the main connections you need) . you will more or less just be in the office all day doing secretary kind of job. I think you should think it through very well as the only people who will be having better potentials are the engineers in your office who would be sent out to fields when you guys have jobs, than you who will just be there in the office. the things you will have contact with will be mostly your boss,colleagues and maybe get to take calls.you might only be allowed to privilege information when your boss wants that. but believe me..you might never get those connections that you think you will get..because you will be more like a bank teller.

wish you all the best...

She should employ someone and go for the job,she'll get a lot of contacts at her job.

Tell her to combine the two....work for the salary, why you employ someone you pay 10 or 15k depending....every Saturday go to your shop and access how it fairing......increase your source of income , don't rely on one.

Are you saying rewiring ain't possible?

eezeribe:


For the fact that she opened a business and was still applying for jobs,means that the business was just a last resort and not her passion.
so she should close down the business and go for her 8—6pm job with 80k—100k salary.
That is what her brain is wired for.
People whose paradigms are designed by default to be in the left quadrant,have no business trying to be in the right quadrant because they will one day return to their natural habitat.

If she is still confused on what to do...
She can aswell close the business,reject the job offer and go back to her village and start weeding farms for people.

Dont close your shop...

No greater freedom than that of being self employed.

She can employ an honest person to look after the shop while she's off to work.

Nevertheless, No greater freedom than that of being self employed.

Simple and short... She should get a trusted hand to manage her biz, and take up the job. With time, everything will fall in place.

Two words that scatter people's brains when it comes to jobs.....Oil and Gas....upcoming nor service doesn't matter. She has started a business...doing well.... has made lots of connections... overcome the start up mistakes and difficulties... has seen much potential ... business is growing... room for expansion...profit is growing..... her business venture is now paying off but.......how on earth would it make any sense to drop all this time and effort to bring her business to this height only to neglect it to go venture into somebody else's startup business where nothing is guaranteed? Let your cousin inbox me..... I swear I can find her something better to smoke.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

idris4r83:
Oil n gas baby! she can employ somebody or a trusted relative to run her private business.

nothing like trusted relative bro. They will mess up at the end of the day.

If she doesn't relocate, na stress go kill am. Iyana ipaja is far, let alone ikotun egbe. Damn! It is serious ooo. Experience on the job is good if she can cope.

She should compare & contrast & decide for herself, she can employ some1 to stay in office.

The job will drain her and take up all her time. Also at this stage of her business, no one will be able to manage and grow her business like she would.

If she takes that job, she will start complaining after 2 months and you will come again and ask our opinion.

There is nothing fantastic about the offer. You said she is doing OK with her business, why don't you advise her to put in efforts in growing her business more.

Gbam!!

I concur... The best way to make it is to have multiple source of income.

accountbalance:
1. 80 - 100k per month shouldn't take her away from her self employed gig.

2. I believe she can make that amount or even more on a very good day.

3. Selling IT products is a very lucrative business especially on a large scale

4. The only reason she should consider the island job is if she needs some more money to invest in her business. In other words, she shouldn't close down her shop, put someone that is trustworthy there while you do your day job. Target should be to save money for investment.

Good luck.

Need I say more? If she's unsure of the performance of her business in 5 years, let her do number 4 but with a focus to grow the business through whatever advantage she can get. If she has passion and commitment to the business she better remain and run it.

It is not enough to earn and carry about a certificate! That's phase 1.
Life is about relevance and proffering solutions. Someone right now somewhere is looking for someone who can do something for him/her and get paid! Opportunity Meets with preparation! Is your worth only in that paper certificate even though you hardly have a REAL skill?

Therefore;
While you search for that job and keep waiting (very frustrating), DO NOT WAIT IN PERPETUITY! You might consider investing in knowledge-based skill that has unending returns. EACH DAY , YOUR CAPITAL IS YOUR KNOWLEDGE, SKILL & BARE HANDS! More GUARANTEED than any other cash based investment! With smartphones as the future, YOU CAN NEVER GO BROKE.

8 Engrs n counting

She should consider the island job to get more money and experience to invest in her business. In other words, she shouldn't close down her shop, put someone that is trustworthy there while you do your day job. Target should be to save money for investment.
And get some experience,build the financial strength of her business which getting the monthly salary will help her to do. The expenses will be less on her business running capital.When the business blosm ,she can resign and face the business squarely.
