I'm in a fix now. Pls advice me:

I read engineering but work in springbank as marketer for 128k as monthly salary.

Now I got another offer in an indigeneous oil services for 100k monthly.

Pls advice your guy what you think is best.

Is it marketing in the bank or an engineer in an indigenous (one man biz) oil services?

whatever your vision is for studying engeneering,the oil man job could set you on course to accomplish it,the bank job is good too, if you do well in the field you will rise very fast.
PRAY

most engineers in banks hate it. . .

in the oil and gas job, you will be pursuing your profession, which is much more interesting  but - BE WARNED - the one man business is often an extremely lousy place to work . you work at all sorts of odd hours(granted this is like a bank) you may not get your salary on time (ogas cash flow problems become your cash flow problems), you may find yourself doing all sorts of menial jobs for oga and his family . you may  not get aa promotion/raise for a long time( one man biz peeps seem to think they are doing you a favour by employing you and that you should even pay for the experience.

one the other hand, if its a company with a lot of exposure etal, you could quickly pick up enough experience  and soon find yourself in a correct company. if you are not married, and not about to get married anytime soon, plus if you're Young and have not picked up what i consider to  those self destructive  big boy habits that plague bank workers ( weekend clubbing, keeping an image buying expensive designer goods.car/electronics with 'soft loans/ friendly credit facilities'  you should be alright.

it may not be feasible, but try to find out about this company. maybe even talk to some of the employees. do they seem bitter? if you cannot see a guy three/four years ahead of you in a position/status/level  comfort you aspire to in the future, that is often a warning on its own. you can also try to find out about the oga. does the man chase women? is he a flashy person? does he have a personal project that is eating up income? these questions may seem a bit too extreme, but its a one man biz we're talking about here, where ogas rarely draw a distinction between their staff and the business. an oga with a high maintenance wife/habits, will often fund them before attending to employees needs, you may find yourself picking up oga's small girls, you may find that oga is living the life while the staff are living like paupers. . .

in the end. . .like i said. . .if you have no ties, or if you do and madam is also earning good money . . .go for it! don't waste those five years of engineering as a paper pusher in some dull bank where you do the same thing everyday!

ps - i just saw the marketing part . ol' boy. . .its tough enough for those scantily clad hot chicks in marketing to meet targets - a guy in marketing . . RUN!!!

In as much as i don't believe this story i'll only tell you this. You must be crazy if you choose the bank offer. There is no job security at the banks, especially spring bank. most banks are in financial mess but they won't reveal the truth. a word is enough for the wise, go for the oil company and broaden your horizon.

Truely a fix it is and not an easy decision to make.
Pray about it.

PS: I'd chosen the Oil company sha. 

God help us.

Good choice.

Why don't u believe? . . . and the poster is not crazy! Every1 has a right to their opinions.

@ Poster . . . . I'd go for the Engineering Company offer.

pick up the offer of an engineering job even if it is 80k, when you start going to rig you will earn more.

i read marketing and i know how challenging it is. pls go 4 the enginerring offer so far is ur area of discipline. all the best in ur career

Hi,
may i ask a question where you forced to read Engineering at School if yes then continue with the bank if no go with the Engineering job. It is better to work at where you will be comfortable with than to work at a place because of the money.

Guy the truth is that you know indeed what to do JUST DO IT!

It all depend on the buz operation and administration. I work in oil and gas , a servicing coy. and its a One man Business. We have good system in place. Viable HR, accting, admin etc. If the coy have a workable system and they operate on best practice and there QaQc is in tact pls go for the engineering Job. What are they providing ? what service do they offer ? Will you be going to the Rig (Platform), are u a field Eng?, which dept are u posted to (is it a place to gain experience ?)  Do they pay regularly ? .  Confirm all this b4 u leave Banking job. Do they promote yearly bc . Is the owner a politician ? Check the current staff, do they have cars? Do they have loan system for staff. In my coy u r entitle to .5m yearly as soft loan.

Kindly leave that your banking waste of time,
and pursue a career related to your field of study.
QED

@poster
question, in which direction do you want your career to go,
do you have a passion for developing yourself as an engineer
do you see any foreseable future in the banking industry for yourself as an individual
, do you enjoy the prospects of work as an engineer or as a banker,
success always lies in our passions, so check where ur heart really lies,
cause everyone will profer answers based on their personal preferences which is not wrong anyway,

Do you have career goals? You should know the line you
want to follow or is it about the money only?

if the oil service job is a 1 man biz and its under 5yrs, then i will advice you continue with the bank job coz 9 out of 10 1 man biz fail under 5 yrs.

Money, Money, Money!
You personal & career goals in life should be the driving force; not how much u will earn now.
Think deeply & choose for yourself, if we help you choose, you'll be asking NLs a new question in a few months time.

Guy, both jobs have thier risks, but u must check for the one that has a long-run effect, if u dnt do well in the bank marketing job, am sure u will be thrown away but the engineering job(depending on wat u are doing there) will certainly give u a lift to other opportunities even though one man's biz is risky. I will choose the oil firm job if it was me, the choice is urs.

my guy, the cardinal consideration here is to research into the oil company. the size of an organisation does not really matter as regards pursuing a fulfilling career. If oil servicing is your thing, then go for it. career fulfillment has a better weight than a fat pay package.

think thoroughly before you leap. there are other prospects in the future.

Luck

My broz,
Just go for the engineering job that relates to your own field of study and by so doing that you can also set up your own 1 man biz in the nearest future as soon as you get the experience and also understudy the systems and ways of the owner of the company.

even tho d money is peanuts buta as long as it has 2 do wit ur field of study., my broda go for it and with wat bi've learnt its not easy bieng a marketer in d bank
there's one of them i know at my former place of work_{im in school now}he offer's secretaries of bosses who have accounts with dem money to notify himeach time thier boss have any money to pay in2 his account so dat he can personally come and pick it up

is dat work?

the only prob i ve with the 100k oil serv thingy is it is one man.and check ur job roles against the salary and ur career plan b4 hoppin in.oil serv nowadays could mean anything oooo

This is the best response to the question

if the oil service job is a 1 man biz and its under 5yrs, then i will advice you continue with the bank job coz 9 out of 10 1 man biz fail under 5 yrs.

I will advice you to do a thorough investigation into the one man oil business , because the early years (1-5)yrs is always very rough .

What are your career objectives in the first place? If you could define and articulate your career objectives then you should be able to reach a decision without any of our inputs.

@poster,
i understand your fix, but my advice is stay with the bank(marketing) for now, you can still be searching for a better oil and gas offer, my reason is not far fetched, since the one you got is a one-man business, i don't trust that kind of business to take that kind of risk on, since you have a stable job at the bank, make use of that while you search for a more suitable place other than what you've been offered.
a friend of mine happen to get an offer from a so-called one-man business in an oil and gas firm too, he worked over-time, worked above his position but never compensated and sometimes delayed salary until he got another place.
so please my take will be to stay with your bank while you get another offer, even better offer.
N.B. if you must take a risk, take a calculated one!
