Oga leave all these career growth nonsense and take the higher paying job.

You use it as a stepping stone to apply for better jobs in 6-9 months time. Employers are not really expecting much specialization from you as a graduate hire (less than 3 years work experience). All they need is to know that you can think and have an idea of how a corporate setting works.


If you take the 70k job, you may find yourself always struggling to meet up with your personal needs and this will have an adverse effect on your output in that telecoms job. You will not even be able to free your head and achieve the things you want to do in the job, let alone your personal life.


Take the 100k job, stay for about 6-9 months and apply for new ones. You will get.

Career path thingy is for when you have done 2-3 years of corporate work. Then you can go for Masters and start aligning your career the way you want.

Hello House,
Please I have a dicey situations here, can you give your input.
After concluding my youth service at Firm ABC in Lagos, the company wanted to retain me with a gross salary of 100k, but I don't want the job, I am an engineering graduate with average skills and so much potentials. I hate the job just because of it's description, it is base on trial and error and sometimes a lot of energy and effort is used to deliver some services, Moreover, the job is frustrating and tiring and also I don't think I see any likelihood of carrier growth from that job; because as an engineer you are to work under the supervision of a registered engineer before you get COREN certification.

Then, company CDE gave me another offer for 70k Gross, and the company is Telecoms company and I see a lot of potential with this new company, though the pay is something else.

So, please I need some experts views, comments and recommendations; which one should I go for?

Going through your write up, I deduced that you have already made your choice, you just want Nairalanders to verify your decision.

Well, I will say go with what your gut tells you

I think we Nigerians are way too skeptical about jobs, see ba once you are qualified, you will see and get more opportunities just believe in yourself bro

Would you rather do a job you love and you have rest of mind with no mental stress with a bit lesser pay or the one you dislike where there's no future in it but a little bit higher pay?

It's obvious you will not even be productive with the 100k since you've hated it from the start.
