False. My first was 50k after my NYSC last year. I worked there for 4 months and quit. I'm freelancing now and the least I've made in a month is 180k.

lol.. 30k is pitiable now o. Have you been to the markets recently? In fact, i live alone still i spend at least 20k monthly on groceries alone. If my salary were 30k,how i wan transport myself go the work, eat during break, buy personal effects? It is well o!

naylor:
let's be real, the 30k job cannot cover anything, well except only feeding minus accommodation, transportation and clothing.

dfrost:


My sister I concur perfectly with you at the same time, which is better? No money or some money?

sucess001:
loool...

as you dey learn to turn down the offer...also begin dey learn to turn down huger....


when hunger wired your head...you go learn...u think life is about pride and ego?


the humble person who takes the offer will now be able to buy more things than you....you go siddon dey drag for plate of food with your junior ones in your father's house whilst the humber guy acquires more experience and money...



so what if the employer is also struggling to break even?

he shud use all his capital for salary?

BlueRayDick:
This stuff is actually subjective. What applies to me might not apply to you. If I was in this guy's position ceteris paribus, I might take the 35k job, learn as much as I can while on the job and bounce as soon as I see a new and better offer with a better working condition.

However, if the job is a marketing job that does not offer me much to learn/ allow me build my long term career, I will definitely jump am pass and probably go for a teaching job in a secondary school.

The key here is provided the job allows me to build a long term career

30k is too small for a graduate,
We need to stop acting like beggers in this country.

We don't have minimum wage, no wonder employers use graduates like trash.

Yeah there are no jobs, but graduates arent slaves

maxwell767:
Is the salary not more than N-Power allowance

#35k

ikwoche:
Be wise. I started with 20k and left after 3 months to 50k...after a year left for 120k stayed there till 200k and left to collect 150k...I went back for a reason. To acquire a certain experience....now I am projecting 300k next year...

Sometimes, it is not everyone that get that big job...you must be calculative. You can start small but don't stay small.

We ve actually lost it in this country. how can a nation blessed with so much resources derogate der graduate so low.
we don't have any regulation in dis country. our government has killed the essence of schooling and no wonder u see d likes of Evans everywhere.
those of u supporting 30k-35k plz can u be sincere to your self and give a break down of dat money usefulness in the present day Nigeria.
Do u know dat graduate will have dose looking up to him for feeding and likewise his parents also. plz what will 30k change in his life and family?
Some say experience and all that...i hear. if u remove transport and feeding, i bet u he will end up been a liability to his friend becos he will be a debtor. the only good tin in dat job is keeping his mind working and not been an idol tool in d hand of the devil. any oda tin is useless

queenfav:
lol.. Some money is actually better. It is well o, i just thank God for my life thus far. Today i marvel at how i was able to even work for 10k a month.. We shall all get there, those rough times are meant to shapen us. Now i never take God's blessings for granted, cos i suffer no be small!

Appliedmaths:
Depends on the person jare... when I was fresh from NYSC and hungry for a job I didn't allow myself to be exploited, although it took me time to finally get what I wanted but I turned down 30, 35 and even a 45K offer as at then.

I know how my mates and family yabbed me for being too picky but I couldn't just see myself go that low.

Except it's a graduate trainee position for 3 months tops, or a make shift teaching job, no graduate should ever accept 30K as salary.

ivolt:


We have minimum wage, it is 18k per month.

JeffreyJamez:


I Pay my accountant 30k, In this same Lagos lol

She is not a graduate tho

ivolt:


Stop feeling entitled!
Nobody was forced to pursue tertiary education, it was choice.

Nobody owes graduate anything.

Anyone that can't take 30k should sit down at home
or start their own business.

I for one never really searched hard for a job cos it was waiting for me but 2 b honest. .. I can't work for that amount even as a fresh graduate. Heck I can't even work for 50k as a fresher

That's the kind of money I spend in less than a week sometimes. My monthly shopping alone gulps up over 100k.
