I was offered an employment where I stated an amount which was countered by my boss with promise to up it but he hasn't.

I am considering quiting the job. Advise me.

Coming out of a pandemic u have to be reasonable bt that depends on the sector ur office is into. Some gained from the pandemic and many lost so put that into consideration 1st.


2ndly it also depends on how lucrative ur skills and cv/function is. Do u have the potential of getting another job offer just like that? Are u a hot cake or just there. This shud also guide ur decision. U don’t want to stay home jobless.


3. Have u saved enough money to wait it out looking for another job or to invest?

4. Money isn’t everything, are u getting more knowledge, skill, exposure or contacts on this job? If so u might want to ignore the money and build urself b4 leaving so u are more competitive in the market.

Cheers, goodluck

I don't have advice O.
If I say go now, tomorrow you will say, it's because of me that xys.
If I say stay now, you will still blame me for your suffering.

The usual thing to do is to apply and get another job before leaving the current one.
Some people are able to gather money and start a business well FIRST, before leaving the current job.

Why do you want to quit a job when you have not gotten another one at hand. Don't quit in the face of uncertainty.

In a job you either learn or earn or do both. If you do only one, that is fair. If you do both, that is awesome. If you neither learn or earn, please resign.

You take a hammer to a wall and the first few blows will not yield much result but if you keep giving it your best blows, the wall will eventually come down.
If you choose to focus on the wall not coming down after the first few blows, you will lose energy and you will not strike your best blows or you may even give up totally when maybe all you need are just a few more blows to bring the wall down.

Every faithful sower always gets a harvest.
That is the way the world is.
That is the way it has been designed to work and that is the principle that has governed humanity from the beginning of time.

The worst thing you can do is give less than your best because you feel you are not properly compensated.
Give your best no matter your pay and one day you will meet with people that can pay you what you deserve.
That is what it means when they say proper preparation meeting opportunity will lead to success.
Don't focus on your situation now but always tell yourself that you are preparing yourself for the bigger pay ahead.
If you give less than your best, how will you gain the competence and experience for the bigger pay you seek?
To get more in any area of life, you have to first give more.

Take your present position as a learning stage and learn all you can about your job even if you are still scouting for other opportunities.
Do your best on the job such that if you submit your resignation tomorrow, your boss will beg you to stay because he has realized how indispensable you are. Until you become that indispensable, it will be tough to negotiate higher pay.

Commit to personally grow to the size of your dream and your dream will eventually catch up with you.

I wish you all the best.

Just be on the lookout

They are looking for a replacement
Never try that with Nigeria firms

Once they get a competent replacement for your position, you will face unfounded threats for you to leave or be eased out.

Number one rule of the mafia has been broken by you

Always pull your trigger once you are out with your gun

Safe landing

There is no cheating in nature. Keep up doing your work as if you are being paid well. I'm assuring you fully that sooner or later you will get another job that will pay you back of every cent you have worked for in the present employment. This is the time of sowing, your harvest will surely come.

Pls don't quit! You quit; your sense of a win against oppression wouid soon be overwhelming by hunger and an empty stomach will always negotiate poorly. It's a worst offer to take with empty stomach plus desperation for a replacement job.
Calm down there, continue managing but double up your skill improvement and search for a new job. God bless you

Do you have another job? You could start searching while you're on the current one. You're generally more likely to be employed if you already have a job.

I was recently reading a Book in which the Author says there was once a time where over 80% of people were self employed.
He says the reason People don't have their own business is because, they have been trained through the educational system to be seek jobs and not create them.
I believe in order to solve this unemployment problem in Nigeria, People have to learn how to Start up their own businesses.
It will not only boost the Economy; It will also solve the Unemployment Issue.
