Oceanic Bank Vs Etisalat Nigeria

I have to sincerely let you know that with telecomms, u have to specialise if you want to attain higher heights, i.e you must have a specialty(electronic engineering, software experts, and database personnel with skills etc). These acumen would make place you above the crowd.Telecomms is a more conducive environment to work, training is continuous, and you meet and relate with brainy people(no experience wt telecomms though, but as a lay person)
In banking(Oceanic in particular), at inception, it is not worth the while, you are an apprentice, i can say this from experience, i have a masters degree in Info Science, yet, am working as a Cash Officer,imagine? In the long run, the higher you go, the better it becomes, but With God ni sha o!!! Working from Dawn -dusk is the name of banking, especially if you are a rookie, i thank God that banking is putting food on my table, but, give it a deep(est) thought before taking a life-determining future.

don't try what you are about to do o! don't ever think of going into banking.you may regret it if you do.forget the money.you'll get more than what they're offering in telecoms later,you just have to keep developing yourself.

I'll suggest u go for the telecom. You can still cross to banking if later u wish

hi all,
this is a very interesting discussion and i think i can say something that u all will benefit from.
i work in one of the biggest telecom company in this country and i will say that im regreting ever joining them.
telecom is a sector where u will enjoy if u are the xperienced type,but as a young graduate please,dnt go into telecom because it will give u nothing but heartbreak.i never had this insight when i was joinning the sector two years ago,i had a similar opportunity to joing gtbank bt then there was this brouhaha about telecom sector wish i ended up singing with them.
in telecom,there is nothing like promotion and structure and the pay,after six month,your guys in bank will be getting far above what u are getting and they have a enough room for promotion because of their expansion.
let me give u a sypnosis,i have a friend that joinned guinness when i was joining this telecom company two years ago.late last month,he was enployed into my company at a higher level and a far better pay than myself,u ask me why?because this telecom company does not give a damn about trainning its personel but rather enjoy hijacking personel from companies that have traiined thiers,and don't forget that i have two years experience too like my friend,

join a bank now and apply in two year time to any telecom company,they will employ u nd put u far above your mate interms of incentives and position.

av fun 

bros how u take apply for that etisalat stuvs??

my brother please remain with the telecoms outfit,i'm a banker and it aint fun at all,imagine with all the stress u go through,u are constantly living in fear of fraud because u don't know what comes next if i get the chance i'll bounce banking oh,after sometime it aint bout d money anymore

As far as am concerned this issue of bank versus telecoms is all about your passion.

I am a computer Engineering Graduate, my passion is for telecoms and am doing well in that area as am already a Certified Cisco Networking Engineer but my best friend and classmate loves the bank sector which he joined during his NYSC. He is not planning on leaving as he is also doing well over there. He has improved himself as a Microsoft specialist.

So my their; Passion is the key in selection else you will not advance even in a green land.

Let me give you an instance, I have a friend I leaved with, he became a Branch manager in the space of four years from the date of his NYSC with the bank but in that same bank some people have worked 10 years before him and most likely will never be a Branch Head SO?

Where do you feel you can excel?
