Ride on, brother. I second this.
I returned to the country in 2016 with high hopes after completing my Bsc abroad.
In 2017, I was jobless and broke.
In 2018, I was shuttling to Lekki from Amuwo everyday for a 45k salary.
In 2019, I worked close to home as an English teacher for 25k/month.
In 2020, I picked up a pen and an empty sheet of A4 paper with determination.
Last month, I earned $256.78 more than the current June earnings you posted, from freelancing, and there's much more room for growth.
Online jobs aren't the future. They're here now. I feel for the younglings currently in universities hoping to blow in oversaturated and unpaid industries like Accounting, Law, etc. Congratulations sir... Please keep spreading the message so that our youths will hear instead of engaging in fraud for survival. Cheers 2 Likes |

hybridblood07: You could have accepted the 350k to pass time and look for a better offer elsewhere. Additional 100k will solve some kind of issues. My own opinion sha. Thanks N350k does not worth the daily stress to work. I can not move an inch if my salary expectations is not above 600K (excluding tax ) monthly as a Software Engr. I will rather take a position as a consultant for 200k and work from home. 9 Likes |

Yes... I had a virtual interview last year during covid 19 lockdown with an outsource coy recruiting for a telecom coy. They needed an experienced Front Office Engineer meanwhile am a Back Office Engr in my current coy.
After the first stage of the interview, they ask me to make myself available for a level 1 Back Office Engineer interview and after I passed again I was scheduled for a level 2 Transmission Engineer including datacom interview. After all the stress when I named my price, I was asked to send my 3months previous pay slips and they never get back to me after that.
I believe they couldn't afford to pay that amount as some employers will wanna pay you an entry level salary and assign a professional task to you

So disgusting... Just 1k!! is that for your data/airtime? Robertkenny: Okoye Vincent
Recently i got an interview in one of the leading IT Company. It is CMMI level company so i thought to try. I gave written test and technical round of interview, then again technical round with manager and he put me on hold. After i asked the reason to HR, she told me manager put you on hold. Again after 3 months i got a call that now you have to give final round of interview. I went there for another technical round and got selected. This time my appraisal is due in current company which is on next month so i can’t accept first offer which is 15% raise. I have 50k salary so it’s obvious I will get 15% in current company so i asked for 30% raise and she offered me 54k on hand. My current on hand is around 45k so i told her that i won’t join at these much less and if she wants to renegotiate, i am open for that. She after offered me 55k. I was like shocked that is this called negotiation. She is asking me for 1k more. Am i at grocery store or what? I said no. She said she is chasing me from few days to convince me but now she won’t. So i said, if your offer is convincing, no need to chase anyone. What does it make sense to give someone 1k more? She said, if you want to join at the offer, call me or reply me. I never replied and called.

hybridblood07: Best reasons known to you sir. . Do the maths, you earn 350K monthly from a 8 to 5 job. Including the stress that comes with it, and your chances of earning extra income freelancing is very slim because you will be exhausted after work. That's said, when you compare an alternative work route where you work from home and earn 200k as a freelancer/consultant monthly, you can maximize your earnings by working for more companies. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I am making 250k working part time as a consultant, tell me why I will want to be coming to work everyday sitting in Lagos traffic, and also investing in clothing for just 100k.
