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 cuz 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 dont mind moving back but what should i expect from a naija company, i dont want to ask for too much and i dont want to sell myself short. what should i expect as per salary and in benefits?

if u r presntly working in US abeg stay there cos here in Nigeria the pay is nt ok and with alot of stress

they will use u alot more than the amount they r paying u

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
