Starcomms Just Offered Me A Better-Paying Job. Should I?

Kt,

Do you believe in God? did you pray about changing your current job before starcom offer? if yes consider your prayer answered if No  rely on your own intuition. A yoruba man will say "Alatise lo matise ara e" you have seen and experience all with your former employer so you are the best man to know the best time to call it quit or you want to stay because you consider them "not too bad". YOUR FUTURE IS THE ULTIMATE.


Good Luck.

10 Questions To Ask About A New Job

I think the new Company should be able to answer these questions for him
if he applied for the job himself then, he should know most of the answers to these questions and if he was headhunted then he shoud just ask them directly.

You better think very well before doing anything, though change is good but it aint easy 

Yeah if he can get someone working in starcom fine but he has to be sure the person is give him the right inform.Which most people wont tell expect you are truely close.
Thank for adjust'g my article 2
@kt2003
You need to get your facts before hint'g his present employer because jobseekers are to occupy his sit in seconds.
Though i got no facts but i heard starcom is not a forward  thinking coy in terms of HR. find out sha and Goodluck

Thanks people. Appreciate it

which AD agency be that, insight or UB40 ? cos i know they have direct flow with starcomms

   Why not try evaluate the too job, that is your present job and the new offer. Remember you have a carrier to protect and to build, never you consolidate on the close relationship you have with your present boss, though that could be a point (cordial relationship) with your boss. you can still cultivate same with your new boss to be. contact starcom human resources unit i think they will give you necessary explanation. I stay in Port Harcourt, with what i have heard about they aren't as good as other communication service provides such as mtn, vmobile and Glo. This you can observe from the kind van they use for advertisement here in Port Harcourt, the van is right off.

Kt2003, the thing with working in an agency is u neva get d same buzz working anywhere else
that much i guarantee u will  miss. However I will say there is no better experience than having
a taste of life on the other side(client side). i will say seize the oppurtunity to explore. lucky for
u the pay is good. when u get the" itch" u can always switch over. Truth is if u ve been in one of the
top three agencies in the land there are good prospects of been re -absorbed into the industry.
so take the plunge man ! thats what i will definitely do.

take that, like name like wrds.
i see you are a man of you words someone seeks your advice and you just send him advice without think'g _{(in your words)}. Okay o!.

u might want to paste your post on any topicunder jobs for better opportunities http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-29.0.html or strat a thread
cheers

  I still wonder how somepeople  see life.  Why do u want to move, for cash or career advancement, if it's Money, Boy you have the whole world at your feet, move on , if it's career wise, you may have to consider your present job and the challeges in the new job, These  you should have known/ask on the process of interview. But mind you 6 yrs exeperience in the same job and the same company is regarded as one yr experience by pschologist/hr. It's always good  to move ahead, even if starcooms doesn't suite you at the end, try spending at least 6 months and look for another job, it will be in your CV that have a telecoom Experience, Open your Eyes boy, Those who are scared of making mistake/ taking Risk doesn't grow in Life. I had that same problem 6 months ago, i took up the decision of moving , Though i didn't get all expected , but i am working hard to exploit all the opportunities in my the company to my advantage , then i will move ahead. Life is what you make out of it.
