| An Office Job Of 70K Or Home Lecture Between 90- 110k. Which Will You Prefer? by butanep(m): 5:50am On May 31, 2016 |
Good morning nairalander. I am kind of confused about taking an office job or continue with my private lecture which I started a year ago. After youth services, I scramble the nooks and crammy of Benin and Lagos looking for an office job but to no avail. All application letters written to organisations didn't yield any positive result as I waited for invite like a woman waiting to deliver her baby. I initially taught it was my CV, so I gave it to a professional to help me edit, still no good organisations called me for an invite even with a sound result from a science discipline. The little money from NYSC was also getting exhausted. I began to think the way forward. After about three month without getting any positive reply from organisations, I just decided to forget about applying for both online and offline jobs because it was depressing. I decided to find something I can do to fetch me income. After presenting my request to God, in a dream God told me you have something to fetch you income, use your brain. I began to think until the revelation became clear. Since I reside in GRA where the rich men and women reside, I did a flex which is very attractive for the service of a home tutor in mathematics, physics, chemistry and Technical Drawing and scattered it around big schools and strategic locations within GRA Environ. I began to pray and wait for calls. Two weeks later, I got a call from a woman for my service to prepare her son for WAEC and JAMB examination . After negotiations we concluded at 30k. After that another client called and we concluded at 25k. Just like that until I got about five lectures ranging between 90 to 110k per month. I was so happy and I later caved a niche for myself two moths later. Sometimes I can boast of saving 50k or more per month. I then stop applying for jobs because there was no time anymore except on few occasions... Six moths later, I got a call from ABC company requesting me to come for an interview. I went for the interview and performed very well. The HR were smiling as i levelled all their questions with ease and even gave them classical illustrations. The moment came for salary negotiation and they asked, how much should we pay you? I said 100k and above. They started laughing and I told them that's what I can accept with confidence. They told me their payment for fresh graduate is 60k. I told them I can't accept 60k, that my input to the company will be worth more than 60k. They told me that's all they can offer, then I boldly stood up, thank them for the interview and left their presence. A week later, I was called from the CEO himself to come to the company. He told me he heard how I refused a salary of 60k. He conducted a personal interview for me and I performed very well this time even without preparation. He told me he will add 10k to the initial 60k offered to me adding up to 70k. I told him I can't accept because what I do earn me more. He persuaded me and I told him I will get back to him after three days, that he should give me some time to make up my mind. He accepted and I left for my daily home teaching. Once I accept the offer, I can't even take a single private lecture again because the company operate from 8am to 6pm from monday to Saturdays. I won't have time for myself again the way I used to as a home tutor. I was even planing to set up a lecture centre but with the job, I can't do it anymore. The home lecture is stressful and tiring but I'm just happy doing it because I get positive results from students and parents. The company is also a place I can build my career to a certain level but it will just imprisoned my life which I don't like as a hustling guy. Nairalander what will you do if you happen to be in my shoe. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Interesting..... I must tell you... Any paid employment that won't give you times 2 of what you currently earn as SELF EMPLOYED home teacher is not worth the delve. Once you can earn aprreciable income from any self employment, stick with it....its much better than any 8 - 6 wage 64 Likes 5 Shares |

i would suggest you continue with the home tutoring since you are the boss of yourself and try to save money to venture into tutorial centre or any other reliable business, likewise the lesson is given you much income compared to the office work. pls that your lesson area, is it in lagos or benin because i aim to start home tutor in lagos here but i dont know the amount i can bill the parents per student. 7 Likes |

butanep:@bolded , very wonderful. . You already have a plan to expand your business; the other offer isn't worth stopping your ambition please. .. ●You're your own boss! Nothing better pass this  ●Excellent work-life balance! Unlike the other job which will give you little or no time to venture into other important stuffs. The other job will practically tie you down esp as you're to work on weekends too.... ●If you do well with your plan, you may even start employing other graduates to help you tutor! You may even grow to become a known tutoring centre! From there expand to a school or even more! ● You also have passion for teaching... ● The new job wouldn't even pay you better. .  I don't even see any confusion here, except you ain't confident that your tutoring business will flourish. . Whatever decision you make shaaa, don't throw away your entrepreneurial desire; not everyone is fortunate to have a 'good business idea'..... the "office work" you're considering is owned by someone like you. ... All the best..  18 Likes 1 Share |

Continue with what you are doing now. I can bet you that in few months time, the CEO will call you and give you reasons why he cant continue paying you 70k, and probably fire you if you refuse to accept pay cut. Its your choice though. 11 Likes 1 Share |

butanep my nigga.. You know what you want already. I think you have passion for teaching which is very commendable and at the same time, you still want to work in corporate organization.. Expand what you doing and before you know, you will be employer of labour..You can even let someone run the lesson for you while you away but ask yourself if there's job security in Abc).. 2 Likes |
