I got celtel job 1 month ago,though i started with them as a contract staff.Just this month i got an offer from IBTC.Pls,
i welcome advice from the house.presently,the pay of IBTC is slightly above that of celtel.
But the celtel job is not really challenging as i learn little new thing on the job.

hi dear i would recommend that you went for a job that will equip you mentally and give you challenges. that way you have the necessary skills. however i give this advise only if you intend to build a career in financial industry. if not then you would be in hot pepper soup before you know it. it really isnt all about the money you know.
take care

Well, it depends on the department you are in celtel and the department you will be in Ibtc.If you are in call centre, i know of somebody there that is complaining of no career growth and almost no promotion.But if it is the business development, finance,marketing or engineering, i think its worth it cos the stress wont be as that of a bank and the career growth is sure.
On the other hand, IBTC is also a multinational considering the fact that they would be merging with stanbic, training opportunities is great,both within and outside the country, great salary, and good career growth especially if you want a career in the financial services.
So dear, u can weigh the two and decide.Goodluck and remember to share the money wen it starts coming

i just got a call from zenith now asking me to come pick up my letter this evening or tomorow morning.

This even make me more confused.Anyway,thanks to those who have so far advised me.

However i welcome more contribution from the house.

You need to be specific about the kind of job you've been offered by the 3 employers. Otherwise, we can't help.

i am in finance at celtel,i have not gotten my posting letter from the two other employees.

But seun why did you sound so hostile.

i would say u take the IBTC offer.I heard their prospects are good in the banking industry and better pay too,esp entry level.If u r in contract staffing in celtel,u might not get confirmed o.its ur choice sha.moving to IBTC would however boost ur cv cos u can state there dat u have worked in celtel before moving to IBTC.what do u think?

I'll advise u go to IBTC. i work withe IBTC pension fund, wont lie to u, it is an environment u'll want to work dont really know if the banking section is like the pension fund but i guess it is the same. we even call our MD by name, no one to bully u up and down like so other banks. everyone calls eachother by name and there is so much room for u to relate with anyone freely. the first time i walked into the MD'S office and knocked, the P.A was just laughing and the MD himself told me that they dont knock here. its an open door policy.

think ibtc

Dear,
It could have been much easier if not more objective to advise you if you had detail your current post and the one you are anticipating. Meanwhile, I think it could do you great favour if you could take time to remind yourself where you are heading to. What area of human endeavour do you want to build career in. Money is not the only factor to be considered while taking up a job. Think of the comfort associated with the said job, growth and prospect therein. Please never forget to ask God to guide you in this regards. I wish you the best man.

am happy 4u,am presntly working with ibtc kano branch,its a good place 2work, i leave office early and leave home around 7:15 in d morning, i started working with ibtc since december last year and ever since its a good experience, today i left office around after 5 am presently browsing, make a wise choice, and to does still looking 4 a job, God will soon and surely give u ur dream job

hey guyz,
what does it take to secure employment in Ibtc or its Pension fund subsidiary? I am an HND graduate with DISTINCTION, to the glory of God. Please, i need advice and contribution. I am currently with a bank on contract basis.

Any useful info as to how to progress in my career is welcomed.

Love u all for the agape love for one another.


Waiting for response,

basically a good job is any job that u enjoy doing and gives you the good pay. make ur decision

I would suggest u join up with IBTC. There is no doubt that their hopeful merger with stanbic will be a huge sucess for them and if u are there u can be sure of a good career growth.

U shouldn't even be in celtel when its just a contract job.

Then as regards to Zenith. i would prefer u be in IBTC personally though Zenith is also one of the biggest bank in Nigeria.

The onus is on u to make the final choice out of the two because celtel is not an option.

Congrats.

Since you complain about challenges etc at celtel and you are also a contract staff. I’l advice you to go to IBTC. You will be more poised to develop yourself there than Zenith

I do not think Seun sounded hostile at all, my dear. Anyway, if you really love the world of deals and bargains; of opening accounts and working through mazes of figures meaning vaults full of money, go the way of banking (IBTC preferrably; how I wish you got Intercontinental, which to me is the best bank to work in, though this is a personal opinion). But iF banks do not fascinate you, and your area of study in school does not point that way, go for Celtel. Above all, pray and fast for Yahweh's direction. He may reveal in a dream or in a trance, or through signs what He wants you to do.

And, my brother and friend, let me say: C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !

my dear two industries you have your job offers are really good.
but I would like you to consider your bottom line as it applies to these jobs personally.
You have a job as a contract staff in celltel i don't consider it fascinating because you don't have sense of belonging and responsibilty on your job.
I understand your agility as someone who is new on the job because it will get to a point where you'll appreciate my point of view.
If any bank is offering you opportunity as a staff i think you are better off, as far as am concern you don't ave a job as a contract staff am sure this is your first experice even in the oil industry where contract staff are well paid it's not fun!!!
PLEASE WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

It depends not only on salary but place of living.If you dont want to leave where you reside can you opt for Ibtc if you are posted outyside Lagos assumiong you are living in Lagos.If yes go for Ibtc if not stay where you are.The choice is yours.

Guy u better chosse IBTC cos
1. Beeing a contract staff is not a good thing at all. Its a stigma to any fresh graduate cos if u were to leave there to another place u will start from start again. and it takes a while before u are converted in Celtel.
2. IBTC is merging with stanbic, and u are employed as a full staff, is has more potentials than CELTEL in terms of career movement wise.

Please abeg move to IBTC so long they are given u a full staff employment.

Contract staff is hell.

I want to say thank you to all concerned nairalander.

I have finally resolved to pick the IBTC offer.

My decision is based on widely soughted advice

from different quarters.Thanks.

Arochy,let me tell u something,it is not how well a company may look outside or how well paid they are,commit all to God and he will lead u through safely to the best place.U cannot really tell if Celtel or IBTC or Zenith will be the best in the future.COMMIT IT TO GOD N I BET U, WILL NEVER REGRET IT.GOOD LUCK
