OP i feel your pain but hear this.Before quitting make sure you have something else to fall back on, maybe a business venture or another job at least.I understand the salary may be meagre but a bird in the hand is always worth two (or more) in the bush.That small salary you're looking at has some expenses it caters for so don't quit with nothing in mind as an alternative. You never know the value of what you have until you lose it. Just my little advice. May 2018 favor us all.

Plan towards establishing yours. It will be rough at first but don't be scared to take the leap. You can convert part of your home to your office if you live close to the road. Save as much as you can enough to acquire a signpost and other necessary equipment and float yours. You don't have to start with 10 desktops. You can start with one. The biggest part is to start. Once you take the leap and determine to succeed, you will be surprised where you will find yourself 5 years from now. I have seen such success over and again, in different areas. But do not quit unprepared. Save, then quit. You have the skills to start yours. You may even start with normal business center duties and online registrations as you couple that with laptop repairs. As more business come in, you can expand, then start taking in students. And so on. Also, do not neglect branding and social media marketing for your business. Very important.

Where do you conduct your training

godfrey01:
I work with an ICT company, as a technical staff. we train students when it comes to the use of computer softwares. Also we are into computer maintenance.

But there is a bad side of it, I don't get paid on time. and apart from that, the pay is not much despite the huge income that comes into the company from training and repairs of computers and printers. I receive five figure as salary and its not able to cater for my monthly needs. The worst part of it is that I was not given xmas holiday despite the fact that the school is on holiday. and what pains me most I have not been paid December salary and it has made the christmas celebration very bad for me. I think I am just being used to build the organisatiion with low return on my side.

I have thought of quitting the job several times, but another thought comes to me not to. Please niaralanders, I can't keep this decision to my self alone and I need your advice. If you were In my shoes, what will you do?

Bro quit and establish your own, you can start from working as a contractor to firms (pay as you go) to raise fund and establish your own.

It pains me to see an IT guys working for firms for peanut or crying for lack of money when you can actually make you monthly salary in just one day.

Proudly IT Engineer
Proudly Telecom professional.
Proudly contractor.

Do you really need finance? Do you build website and are into programming? Then please go into freelancing. I know about freelancer dot com. And you can also advertise your skills here and get people to patronise you. There are some things you can start with your computer alone
Re: Want To Quit My Job. Advice Needed Urgently by Nobody: 8:49am On Dec 29, 2017
Before you quit, can you sustain your life for the next 3-6months w/o crashing. If YES, Quit bro. If NO, don't quit yet. Plan your exit. Do all you can to secure a better job within the next 3-6 month. Wisdom is the principal thing. Good luck.

Print a complementary card and business banner for yourself; while you are still working for your boss, move around and share your complementary card to people of interest. Start building your own career while you still retain your job.

With time, when those contracts and calls start coming, you will naturally do the needful.

If you read through your write up, you would discover its all negative. It obvious you focus on the negative part only. LAW OF ATTRACTION STATES, "whatever is going on in your mind, you are attracting to yourself". Try to focus on the positive side and you would attract positive things to yourself.There is always a good side to everything, you just have to find it.
Secondly, it wont be a good idea to quit your job, except you have enough cash to last you for 6 months to 1 year. If this is not the case, why not hang-in there while looking for a better option.
Trust me I am talking from Experience.
Do not make the mistake of quitting if you don't have enough cash to last you or enough cash to enable startup your own business.

Hello bro, I have been in the same shoe with you. I went crashing when I left my job. The reason I crashed was not because I made a wrong move. NO. But because I did not plan very well. I recommend one book " Before you Quit you Job"by Robert Kiyozarki. Make sure you planned very well before you quit. Don't just quit because you are angry. Quit with a strong plan, strong purpose and strong desire. Best wishes.

How dare you call him foolish? Is the organization is personal property? Someone had to sacrifice many things for the organization to hit the ground running, including his former job maybe. It depends on his personal analysis of the prevailing circumstances. He's got skills, some other organization will find him worthy soon. Quiting without another job even makes your senses come alive better and lead to better brainstorming and unleashing of several hidden potentials. So allow the young man be. I'm talking from my own experience.

it is very sad for a professional to be in this kind of situation. Your problem is fear of the unknown. What you can do is to setup your own I.T company and be doing small same thing as in your workplace assuming you are not totally tied down. If you run it for some months and feel the income can sustain you, then resign. If you continue with such establishment as the one you are working with you may not make any move to leave, time waits for no one.
