| Should I Accept This Big Job Offer? Pls Advice! by germyu: 12:58am On Apr 23, 2016 |
I am a software developer, I create amazing things for companies; I have a good portfolio of projects I have developed, my applications are used my hundreds of thousand of Nigerians. I prefer to keep a low profile and my identity hidden. I'm presently working for a start-up company that has a very huge prospect. This is my Six(6) months of employment and I developed an amazing web portal for the company in the said time. Truth of the matter, no one believed the web portal was ever done in Nigeria because businessmen/employer in the business or domain underestimate local talents; their believe so much in Indian/US software developers. I stopped the company from paying $68,000 to software development company in India. The web portal is now LIVE.  and we're having huge traffic and good remark about the website.My CHALLENGE My currently earning about N200K monthly, and our competitor is offering me a N350K monthly. My boss found out about the offer and call me to a man-to-man private meeting and offer me a N50K salary increment, housing allowance of N500K yearly and 2Week vacation to Dubai. I presently work in Abuja, while the offer is in Lagos. I love Abuja, but I have feelings for the N350K offer. Am afraid of moving to Lagos due to family problems, however it can be prevented If i stay away. Also am still an undergraduate, although I can transfer my study centre to Lagos. PLS ADVICE Should I stay with my current employer or move with the new offer? Pls ignore my typos. Thanks. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

seems it will pay you more staying at your current job, when you consider - initial cost of housing in Lagos - cost in time & money of transferring your study to Lagos - Dubai vacation - You prefer abuja - peace of mind from family 108 Likes 5 Shares |

Your current boss sincerely know your worth. In my own little experience, the fact that he swiftly provided further benefits for you, please stay with him. Sir, everything is not about money, value counts alot. Since you are still young there (6months), think of career development, later a bigger offer worth millions will come and you never can tell where your current boss will stand in gap for you. Most organizations conduct BC which gives one's former employer leverage to say what one is. 90 Likes 2 Shares |

Guy! Read ur post again. Weigh d pros and cons of both options and you'd realise d best choice is as clear as day. How much be 100k extra pay sef compared with d benefits in ur current job. Guy, u will grow faster and will probably start earning alot more than 250k in no time if u continue wt your good works. Once you have an employer who truly appreciates your performance, loyalty is all u need to explode. 24 Likes |

First what is the prospect of the new organization ? if they are stable, move. it is not about the money. Your Boss will never forgive you for ever thinking of moving to a competitor. Forget the housing allowance and the 50k increment and Dubai ish. Your boss will simply prepare for your exit and u might never collect any of that allowance. Let me hint you how it will be done and u can quote me any where . I have seen this happen multiple times.
Once u say goodnight !!!!! Fight the Law of INERTIA and move on. (I am talking to u as a senior in that field and when I say senior I meant I have over 10years experience in the same field and of course earning more than twice ur new offer in the worst month of the year) If I may ask u ? What are u doing in a One Man Company if you have such skill set ? 29 Likes 3 Shares |

stay with your current boss with hope and prospect of bigger achievements, , , the additives (50K monthly + 500K annual + Dubai trip) when calculated on a monthly basis is almost hitting #350K if not more and avoiding the "family problems" is also very important, especially now that you are a starter or young 3 Likes |

The competitor just want to take you away from him not that he really values your worth. Exhaust what your prensent employer can offer you first, before you move.' Urinate in one spot so that it can foam.'  |

I prefer u stay in abj consider the cost of starting life afresh in lag, consider traffic, noise and everything, u don't need that now since you're still an undergrad, u are not being maltreated in our current place of work, ur boss knows ur value and made an increase that'll benefit u, even the 100k extra is not even enough in lag sef, money is not everything, y not grow with ur current coy... 1 Like |
