I wanted to share my recent experience with all of you. I consider myself a skilled product designer, and when I first heard about the salary offer for a Lagos remote job, I was honestly taken aback and even had a good laugh about it. My initial instinct was to reject it outright. However, after giving it some thought, I realized that I've recently completed my NYSC, and job opportunities aren't exactly pouring in. While I occasionally take on gigs from different sources, they don't come by very often.

So, I've decided to accept this offer, even though it still feels a bit unusual to me. I believe it's a stepping stone towards more significant opportunities. What I'm truly looking for now is to connect with people who have a steady flow of design jobs. If any of you know such individuals or companies, I'd greatly appreciate your help in making those connections. Feel free to comment if you'd like to see my portfolio. Looking forward for remote positions as a product designer. Covering website and app designs, product branding, general design etc..

I've been a part of this amazing Nairaland community for over ten years, and I've gained so much from it. Now, I hope to find support and collaboration within this community to further my career as a designer. Thank you all for your time and consideration!

majesticguy:


Nawa oo, some folks are really heartless. 10k for 30 designs a month. Do you design with a PC or Phone?

sulaimon22:
You've taken a bold step by accepting the job offer. Freelance jobs doesn't come often, major reason why you need to have a side hustle. The offer is a stepping stone and I wish you success ahead.

TemplarLandry:
Yes, by doing your job diligently, you're further honing your graphics design skills.
When they see your diligence, they'll increase your salary. They would also start directing clients to you.

youngsahito:
It might be a test from them. After 1 month, you have to reach a concrete agreement on salary increment.
So it's even a three month probation, I hope they increase your pay to a high figure cos I can't imagine paying somebody for 10k per month.

otipoju:
.

They are thieves. 30 designs in 1 month is 90 designs in 3 months after which they will tell you they don't want you anymore.

Let him go and join fiverr as a freelance and spend your time there. Even on nairaland I give graphic artists jobs for 25k for one design.

You accepting this offer is degrading your skill and causing problems for other graphic designers out there. Even those that work in business centers take at least 3-5k to design a simple flyer. What you take for a month is what I take for a hour's work on graphic design.
Sorry to ask, don't you have working costs like data, NEPA bills, fuel, recharge credit, etc?
