Hey nairalanders.... Just in a moment need your help....

After several months of looking for a well prefer job that suits my career.... It was just untill this month that I was called by several companies that had interviewed me in the past for employment.. But the first offer that came first was from a pharmaceutical company which offered to pay me about 55k as their medical sales representative and after then they sponsored my trip to their head office which is outside lagos for trainings to allow me have a better product knowledge of my work. The training was quite huge as they spent so well to keep me comfortable in a hotel for about a week with feeding couple with little allowance coming back.. But now after getting back to lagos to start the job, I got an offer of employment from a company(which isnt too related to my field) but are willing to pay 12ok......
Now am at a cross-road thinking which one should I go for? Looking at the reasources the pharmaceutical firm had spent on me and also that I do like the job description of the pharmaceutical firm own as it gives room for me to build myself more.

So what can I do? As both require me to start work immediately by monday

Wow.... Quite helpful.... Thank you very much

you would be ungrateful if u leave the pharmaceutical firm..stick to them they do trust ur competencies.

You didn't tell us what the other job is...This will inform a well-balanced advice.

Ok... Fine... @op... It all depends in what you really want ... As one of my mentor will always tell me... "career decision is always a selfish decision"... You need to be so sure of what really you want

@lalasticlalala plz, help me get this to people attention more. thanks

You like the job description et al is because you're fresh from their training and definitely,they kept you spell bound by their endless stories of how sales people are ruling the world. Honey, the field is crazy! Marketing is one job, my generation will not attempt. Trust me,when reality dawns on you,you'll be singing an entirely different song.
Mind you,you're not into production or quality control/assurance of any sort, so I'm wondering the career you're building as a sales person when you studied biochemistry.
What you don't also know is that sales people,mostly females are disregarded here in nigeria. Immediately you start talking to potential clients, all they see in your face is that spelling that begins with V. It'll take you enough wits and grace of God to get past this initial stage and also believe me baby,this company you're feeling all mushy mushy for will drop you like the expenses spent on your training is stolen funds they care less about once you don't start meeting targets.
Don't get me wrong, people build careers as sales people and of course it comes with perks like you having a network of friends,supposed clients,whom you can also sell your products to whenever you start your own business or even beyond business,you never can tell BUT in this country,its only favourable for men. once you start succeeding as a lady, you're seen as a free ass giver unless the madness of marketing is well spelt on you body(e.g is boil-like pimples all over your face,spit drying from endless speeches to customers to convince them etc ),that is when people will actually start believing your success is on merit.


For the 128k job that is not your supposed career, grab it like one of Sidney Sheldon's protagonist,leslie...infact, that's why I enjoy reading his novels, his women are always focused! What am I saying? The money involved,128k, in this our times should make it a challenge for you to build a career on the job and love it. If you are smart,you won't regret this action.

Someone in this thread mentioned that your company might be testing you to know if you're greedy by asking you to take a job in a company YOU,YOURSELF applied months ago to (plz permit me to laugh in swahili,huhuhuhu) and that with time, the pharmaceutical company will match the pay of the 128k person. You all need one day special training from me on what a career in sales here in nigeria means.

N/B: I sincerely feel for the pharmaceutical company that I'm dissing their hustles like this not minding the money they've spent on you. of course,i have a conscience..well,ill blame it on the jobless state of the country that oblivious of what people want are pushed to apply for all sorts of job.

My 2cents!
