I guess the Op is a moralist, he knows Germany is better for him just that he doesn't want to look like an ingrate with the other guy in Dubai. However, tell the bros in Dubai how you had already applied for the job in Germany even before you left Nigeria, you can show him evidence, then thank him for his support and promise to repay what he spent on you and above all recommend a trustworthy person to him if he agrees, whose case is different from yours

When you do a job that you love doing (Berlin) it becomes Fun not work

But when you do a job just for the gains (Dubai) it's called Work not fun

Do that thing that'll be fun to you, grab the Berlin dream my man

Accept the job offer to start your visa process. If you eventually get your work permit then you can sit your friend down to talk to him about the new development.

Going to Germany will be more beneficial to you and your future kids.

Greetings, good people of Nairaland

Please I need a piece of honest advice from experienced nairalanders, I am a Software Engineer, I got an offer from a very close friend (He is like a brother to me) of mine that resides in Dubai to come and manage a club he co-owns to enable him time for other activities. I will need to learn how nightclubs operate since I have little or zero knowledge about the nightlife. I have the freedom to pick up side gigs (or remote work) when I can and He is not in any way restricting me but he needs me to learn the business with him.

The plan, in a simple language, when I learn the business well enough he will pull out and open his own so I can be his manager since he doesn't want recognition.

He paid for my flight ticket and was the one that processed the visa for me (tourism) and he is currently working on how my visa can be extended and my work permit too.

Before I came to Dubai, I applied for this opening with a tech firm in Berlin. I completed the last stage here in Dubai and have been sent the offer but I will have to relocate to Germany because the work is on-site, the company bare expenses regards flight ticket, travel insurance, visa process et al. The start salary is 56K euros per annum (gross).

Also, I resigned from a bank as a development specialist (full-time staff not yet confirmed though, was earning 450K naira net with other benefits) prior to my trip to Dubai. I was doing well in Nigeria because I earned a total of up to 800K (with all my works combined) just that the work ethic (the bank work) is toxic to me because you will work your brain out debugging code, plus I am looking at a good place that I can start a family when I am ready and Nigeria is a no for me unless I have enough money to send my kid abroad to study.

What do I do now that I am already in Dubai? I am passionate about tech and I love the echo system. Please any input from experienced fellows will go a long way for me.

Thanks in advance. Mod please help so I can get as much input as possible


Refund the Dubai club Man's money and go to move to Germany for the job. The club kinda life is not for decent men. My opinion though.

Germany will be the best bet for you... If your friend was to give you ownership in the night club, I would have say think about and sleep over it ...
Since partnership is not included in the business, without further ado, explain to your friend and thank him for all the help he has given... Pack ur load and move to Germany ASAP

You don't know how tedious bank job is. Work to death.

Believe me abroad is worse,you have to work work and work,racially abused, loneliness,bad weather conditions to name a few, not to mention you won't eat good food without paying extra money
Travelling abroad does not really worth it if you are earning 800k in Nigeria

In your shoes, I'd go and build my tech career in Germany without thinking twice. The long term benefits far outweighs anything you can get managing a club in Dubai.

I've never been to Germany but I live in North America and I've temporarily lived in Dubai as well. Though I worked as a software engineer in both locations, I can tell you without mincing words that a tech career in the West is everything.

Good luck.

Work conditions should be better abroad.

For example, in Australia no private employer is permitted to work his staff above 38 hours every week, (7.5 hours daily, Monday to Friday. 8am to 3.30pm). That's comparable to a standard government job hours in Nigeria.

And you the employee knows you are working/getting paid hourly.

If you are paying someone N450k in Nigeria to work 7am to 7pm(to death), he will opt abroad to earn 40USD or 65AUD per hour.

At least, you suffer your staff and pay him more. And government regulations protect him from working to death.
