Hello all,

Good afternoon. My name is Juicegal and i'm new on this forum. My brother has being job hunting for quite a while now and has applied to various organizations and it seems he is getting favourable feedback from one of the Nigerian banks in Lagos to work as an entry level full time staff-(Executive trainee). A friend is also keen on connecting him to work as an admin assistant in the British high commission abuja. Please which is better in terms of good working conditions, job security, future prospects and maybe pay package. I know i can get experienced answers here and i appreciate your inputs on this.

Thanks for your responses.

well bank jobs seem to be the most lucrative in Nigeria today, but jobs in British High Commission are sometimes for short or stipulated periods, but it is dependent on what he wants and the career path hes chosen for himself, as for pay..the bank is better and growth will be in sight in the nearest future. finally if he gets the British on a permanent basis let him sail on....

Thanks so much. will have to find out if the BHC job is PT or FT.

If it's a permanent contract by all means go for the British High Commission job.

Usually their pay is good and comes with benefits. They respect closing times as stipulated in your contract (you're expected to go home once it's closing time regardless) and there are no marketing targets. It is a generally saner environment to work in compared to the Nigerian banking industry.

If I was faced with such a choice I won't blink before knowing what to do.

Hello Juicegal, please I am applying for a British High Commission job and i AM LOST. pLEASE CAN YPU PUT ME THROUGH?

British high commission is the best don't joke with it but if you pick the banking job please having searching for job for so long, pls assist

British high commission,hand down!!! They pay more,They dont over use their staff as they do in banks. I have a friend that joined BHC a year ago,she has been sent to UK twice for training, her salary is about 310k. If o had this opportunity,I won't even think twice.

I would choose the British High Commission job.
