First of all congrats. Getting a job nowadays in our country is not easy, talk more of two jobs.

If I were to be you, I will go for the federal job.

Bro congratulations. first, i doubt that both salaries are almost equal because federal govt has increased minimum wage, thats a game changer. did u calculate base on the new wage? second, i wish u stated the state u live and the state you are to relocate to. but relocation is never a bad thing you a man, step out as long as the new state is safe and take new challenges. third, federal govt job has security. no matter how economy hard, they never sack and salary would always come. remember that! fourth, fed jobs will give u time for other things. there is a wonderful work/life balance there. use the extra time and nurture ur investments.

PS: its a university environment bro. there are lots of ladies and a lot of fun. bros na dream job o. if you r single. grin cheesy

I'm a job seeker too. i stay in KD. i could send a PM bro. i am not expecting favours, just building a network.

Thanks man. I calculated based on the 18k minimum wage. I'm single too but almost married. So fun is not really what I seek right now.

KD is far from where I currently stay(South South). May God see you through

Hi guys. I have never been more confused in my life than today.
I lost my contract job on the 28th of March 2018. Since then, I have been networking and applying for jobs online too.

Fast forward to today, I got offer letter from a private firm I did interview with 2 weeks ago and I was asked to resume tomorrow, May 7th. Now today again, a federal university I submitted my CV with (man know man thing) contacted me that my name is on the latest employment list released. Both jobs have almost the same salary. I'm confused like kilode! I don't know what to do. My mind is tilting towards the federal job but it will require me to relocate while the private firm's own is located in my state of residence.

I have never been this confused in my life. The private firm's employment offer demands two weeks notice before I resign or they will hold my guarantors. Please advise dispassionately. I have been looking for work for nearly two months. Now, it's coming as a confusion to me.

Mods please move this to front page. I need to think properly. Opportunities like this don't come twice



Take the federal job

After 48 hours, count the number of people that told you to go for private firm and count the number of people that advised you to go for federal work. Choose the one that has the higher number and go for that.

Go for the private firm.

You'll learn so much and improve on your skills while working for a private firm than a government owned establishment .

Besides, now is not the time for you to move, since that'll cost you extra cash and time .

Confirm for real that your name is on the shortlist for the federal job
and please ensure you get the letter of employment at the federal uni.
I strongly think you should pick the federal job because of many reasons that I don't want to mention here.

Good luck!

Re: Got Two Job Offers Today. Please Advice On Which To Choose by AgreatMan: 6:46pm On May 06, 2019
U only have one job which is the private job. Stop confusing yourself.

Start d private. that federal job might still take some time giving u enough time to see if u like d private practice.

Personally, I will take the private job. Maybe it's because a part of me hate the idea of earning without working. Some goveojobs r dope tho

Best advice so far.

My advice is u resume at the private firm first and then resign when u get ur appointment letter.
Sometimes u can be among successful candidate in fed jobs yet u dont resume until after some months.
Dont lose on both sides except u really dont want to relocate and u are sure of ur resumption date with the other

Sebi dem say job no dey? Congrats on positive confusion bro.
Job no dey, job no dey many people are just wining. It all got to do what you read in school.
There are many modern day and skill requiring jobs searching for qualified people but not many can fill the vacant slots.
My 2 nephews graduated from Unilag, 3 and 2yrs ago respectively with 2.1 each in Elect/Elect and Systems Engineering.
None of them spent a day after nysc at home without a job. Infact, both of them have changed jobs in the space of 2yrs.
If you know, you know.
Interesting!

I'll be rounding up next year( EEE).
What skills do I need to be indispensable like your nephews?

Your reply will be most appreciated.

This is the best advice so far.
It's better you accept the private firm offer till you are given appointment letter at the Federal job.
Some intrigues and politicking might still play out regarding the federal job which may not favour you, God forbid.

Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded
And things don't go the way you planned it
Dream of riches, in a position of makin' a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
Re: Got Two Job Offers Today. Please Advice On Which To Choose by hismond(m): 6:57pm On May 06, 2019
you should find it hard to relocate only if you are married, otherwise you have no excuse feeling comfortable in your hometown when a federal govt job awaits you.

write the private company back & state reasons why you can't resume, maybe you'll have to do some pleading too
