Mine was N400.00 in 1988 after my service. But today based on Logistics I dey earn NX,Bleep,Bleep.XX

30k before nysc (last year) ...Now m serving

Ezionye:
I thought d question is about " first salary". Y is every1 telling us their present salary? Some figures here sha

Asin eh, some figures here just dey bust ma brain

#7,000 from September, 2006 to December, 2007 as a casual staff in PHCN after NYSC. #25,200 as an Accountant of a Private Company in 2008. #75,000 as a Grade level 8 Staff of a Federal Government Agency in 2009. Presently, the salary including allowances is less than #200,000. Overall, faith in God, God's mercies and favours, perseverance, self-confidence, goal-setting and being focused are some of the fulcrum needed to move forward.

Very true bro . . . My annual salary when I just got here (UK) was £12,000 after tax, It ddnt take me a lot of time to study the terrain and was quick to understand that Uni wasn't the way forward. I went on a professional IT course that lasted for just 3months and now I'm on £380 per day - Thats £91,200 annually.

Trust me mine is still small oooo compared to some people I knw. My mentor is on £1200 per day and I know some other people on btw £500-800 daily.

Dudeweedlmao:


Can you please explain the bolded?

It's simple really. Growing up in Naij we believed that as soon as you have a degree you become a master of the universe and the big bucks start rolling in. Also we were of the impression it'll make the oyibos take us more seriously and afford us respect. Nothing could be further from the truth. Over here a Bus driver and a Lawyer can be earning the same salary. Over here some Bricklayers earn the same as some Accountants.
There are many different paths that take less time,cost less money and can earn you the same or more than others. If I tell you to become a Brick Layer you'll probably say God forbid.
What if I tell you that I know a couple of brick layers that started their own business contracting to construction firms earning £32,000 every two months. The same £32,000 I was earning a year with my prestigious shiny degree and my nice suit and tie!!
Naij culture programmes us towards prestige (Lawyer,Doctor,Accountant) which is all very well and good. But if money is what you are after, more times than often you are actually misinformed and are looking in the wrong direction.

Oga, how can one find job in London. All this visa wahala is not smiling

My brother is not easy oooo. My own na luck of birth I be dual citizen and dem born me before cut of date when Margaret Thatcher change birth rules. As such I have Green and Red Passports.

It'll be nice to hear him elaborate. He's probably referring to a temporary contract IT role. That's where the big bucks are as far as the UK is concerned. However on IT Jobs Watch which has a list of ALL IT Jobs permanent and temp with corresponding pay the highest daily pay is £550 or N269,500 per day at current exchange rate. So maybe he knows something we don't or maybe he's referring to an IT "business owner" in that case they can easily make far more than a £1000 a day but not a worker either on PAYE or Limited.

Yea most are contracted IT roles and if you are contracting as a senior Lead or manager u can earn within tht bandwidth I previously mentioned, especially if ur lucky to bag a role wiv an investment bank or any financial institution.

Automation software test analyst

Pray tell, are there jobs out there for automation tester cos one time I tried to go into I got discouraged by some IT people I know who swore there aren't any jobs

Respect55:
My own is that I dnt earn any salary at all even one year after service because I'm still jobless n hopeless

No matter what may be going on with you, never let the what "hopeless" be a part of you vocabulary. Look around you, there must be something you can do to earn money no matter how little it may be. My location to a great extend affected my earnings- from 3k to 7k then 10k, before youth service and now that i'm done with it, i'm moving to were it is all happening. If you are convinced that there's nothing you can do around you, then relocate or learn a new set of skills. WIsh you the Best Bro.

One thing i have always done is praying for friends and relatives, send them job links and talk to who ever i feel can help them wit jobs. Now God is doing it for them and for me, hence i would've had a place to move to. Not all hope is lost. Use the social media, network and build trust with people, and don't forget God. I'm sure you'll get someone to accomodate you soon.
