What Should I Expect?
« on: July 03, 2008, 04:02 PM »

i'll be in lagos in October to meet up with an oil firm, they called me for a Manager in Training position due to start in December. I have no idea what manager-in-training means but i'll sure find out on my week long visit in lagos.
While i was visiting naija in March my uncle advised me to move back and he asked for my CV,  he forwarded it to his companie's HR dept, a week later they called me and informed me about the position. There's no interview involved because it's kind of a hook up thing, i'm simply meeting with them

Here's the deal: i'm a mechanical engineer in the US, been working for 2 years now and the pay is good. I don't mind moving back but what should i expect from a naija company, i don't want to ask for too much and i don't want to sell myself short. what should i expect as per salary and in benefits?

Don't mind the first response.
Some of us in Naija earn very good pay (as good as those in the USA).
Don't resign from your US job yet.
Only take a vacation and come check out the offer in Naija.
It could be better than what you expected.

are salaries in nigeria negotiable? i know the the middle/ top level of financial coy they can be but as a trainee manager/manager-in-training i doubt it, I think you should ask your uncle for the going rate

Good luck
