Good day everyone, please I need your general opinion and advise as regards the issue I'm having at the moment.

I am an engineering graduate, who has just completed his master's program. I have been searching for a job for some time now.

The issue now is I recently got a analyst trainee program job and also another at the Immigration Service, I'm having a hard time choosing which job to select. Personally, I think the analyst job would be best as it would provide the opportunity to develop myself and also I can later go on to practice my engineering profession unlike the immigration job that's streamlined.

Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Final decision would really depend on you but here are a few things to conaider. Immigration is a federal civil service position, and the other is probably private sector(?). How secure is the trainee role? What prospects does the position/organization hold for the future?

The immigration role is secure, with regular pay and NHIS. Although promotion may not be based on merit only, and you will likely have to engage in side hustling as most civil servants do on the job.

Compare these with the benefits of the other in your decision making.

Good luck.

Thank you for the advice, much appreciated.
