Boy,.all I can say is, you are doing well and pls follow your heart, no mind this Nairaland resident motivational speakers wey no get shi-shi just like me.

I beg, I fit see small thing to take cool this heat?...

Senomi:

I randomly wrote that figure, I was trying to say even 10million naira monthly is better than 15k pounds before tax, over there

Where do you easily find 10million naira monthly. You just want to make sure you win.

Oga, stay in naija na. Who dey force you? By the time Boko Haram removes you...you will know. Bandits are around too. I cant even talk further. Stay in naija if you want. You never get 200k job, you are talking of 10million naija in naija. Just to keep debating.

No matter the amount you get today, if you are into Tech....move. no one will ever dispute that. You arent into Tech. So, stop arguing blindly. You are into something which you know is not meaningful as soon as you leave naija. If you get 10 million naira monthly in naija which I dont doubt, you know you are into fraud or corruption. So, stop your rubbish thing.

We are talking about ppl who are legit, not you corrupt govt officials.

Make all of una dey dia they shout abroad, since wey this people travel the money wey don send family pple never reach up to 1k pound

You sabi lie abeg

pappilo:


Liar

Now I know why people are suspicious of stories on Nairaland. No one will make an after tax offer to you in the UK. You either pay through PAYE or you sort out your own tax outside IR35. In both cases your offer will be your gross annual salary.

Tell me I am a hater but no one is offering you
a £90,000/year job in the UK from Nigeria simply because you are 'tech bro', Whatever dafuq that mean. I dont care if you can write perfect API code straight from sleep or you are a developer, SDET, BA, Architect, PM all rolled in one.

Good day sir I would love to learn some tech stuffs from you

engrrichie92:
I'm a tech bro, I currently do 1.5M Monthly in Nigeria and I just got a job offer last month in the UK for 4K pounds monthly(after tax)

My guys there be complaining about bills and how hard it is to save and all over there

So, If you were me, which would you pick and why?

Modified: will also like to hear from those in the UK; what do you think guys?...Now that you know how it is over there, what would you advice?

@lalasticlala...please help push to front page for more engagements

Earning N1.5m in Naija makes you a King.
Earning £4,000 in UK makes you just another poor man on the street trying to hustle to meet up.

Go figure!

Tech in Software Engineering, B Tech.

You sabi lie abeg

Ok na, as you don prove say your brain no dey solid enough to understand
You just waste data quote me yarn nonsense, I no even know say na nursery school pikin I follow dey talk
No quote me again

Please, Bro relocate to UK, so many parents made this mistake many years ago and they are regretting, for the sake of your children relocate.

Stay in Nigeria, the tax rate is fair than over there and most of the things here are cheap than over there.

Hello

Toks2008:


UK has the best Healthcare system in the world or perhaps, one of the best.

NHS offers free treatment to everybody whether you are a cutizen or a visitor in the case of emergency treatment.

U cover that with tax

Nigerians don't want to pay for anything.
With money, u can get good health care here too. Nigeria is cheap

CryptoClub2018:


Bro,can you help me with some funds so I could clear some debt? I'm really in trouble at the moment

I can never understand some you guys on this platform just because someone stated that he earns 1.5 million per month and the next thing is to start begging him to clear your debts like say na him cause your predicament..

cosmatika:


If you don't leave in the UK, don't say this shit outside.
I live in a 2bedroom flat here, my rent and all bills inclusive is not more than £1000 monthly.
You can't spend more than £350 a month no matter wat you are eating.
So he has more than £2500 as savings which is more than the #1.5m he earns monthly in Nigeria.
Abi na better Healthcare and environment.
Don't be fooles by the rubbish ppl say about tax and bills in the UK

Not true you can easily spend more that £350 a montth eating . Easily . Not everyone is on austerity budget.

One bottle of big stout is nearly £4
Eating out is no cheap
Visiting Starbucks is not cheap .

If you are working hard and single you might not have time to cook and may eat at least one meal a day outside your home

Software Engineering in UK? It seems its hard to pay bills over there.

Weekly rent is up to 300 pounds

Please which part of IT do you specialise in?

celtel:
Hi if it is true you have the 4000 pounds offer, this is my honest opinion as I presently stay in the UK( outside London) and left a 7digit salary to come here too.
Firstly pray and get GOD's leading and if that is done, 4000pounds is more than enough for you. my own expenses are below:
House rent - 742
Council tax - 130
Gas - 30 Standard meaning you can put on anything when and how you want.
Electricity - 45
TV Licensing - 159
Feeding for 4 - 300 max
transport - 120 0r less, because I work from home.

Total = 1,526

As long as you are cool headed and also I just got a car so transport will become easier for my and my family but I have also paid insurance and tax for it ( insurance is expensive because we are still going to be using international passport to drive for now is 200 including tax.

Your 4000 worth much more than you N1,500.000.

Boss, can I chat u up

Please if you never travelled outside of your city and dont own a passport,your contribution to this post is invalid.

Pls chose uk work oo , u have better opportunities to up grade ur work.... And ur family will expirience better life over there

If I tell you how much I earn the demons of broke assedness in your body would call me and my generations liars, some things wey dey happen big pass you, make I just tell you

And if you're sure you'll still say rubbish, just ignore this comment

engrrichie92:


What can I say..you have to first decide what path interests you the most in the Tech space:
Software Engineering
Data Analytics
Product Management
Cybersecurity
Project Management
Product Design,
Blockchain,etc

Once you decide exactly what you want to, commit 6 months-1 year to learning and development....There are tons of materials online; with an internet connected laptop; you are good to go bro; You just need to decide, be disciplined and be committed to the cause!.... You will be happy you did!

boss abeg no vex oo is digital marketing also into tech

Truth234:


The job is good but ensure it is guaranteed for at least a year no matter what. I don't know what IT niche you are but if they could go the extra mile to bring you over, it means you are in-demand niche. The one year is to ensure you have the necessary UK experience and familiarise yourself with the terrain so you can move one easily. It is a good offer.

The VISA covers 3 years actually
Thanks

I will comment for the benefit of those who might want to learn from let's say this hypothetical situation
BTW, Ive been in the UK for 24 years, 16 of those in the tech industry and I run a tech company
1. it is not likely but also not impossible that you will get a £4000 after tax offer from Nigeria. I employ people and I am a voice in that industry in the UK
2. If you were to get even £2500 net(that is a salary of £40,000 gross) you would be better off than what you earn in Nigeria why?
a. You discount the fact that your partner(future or present) would also come into play. Make that £2500 times 2 so family income increases
to nearly two times your earlier estimation whilst the rent/mortgage is constant or marginally increases. Housing is the only monster responsible for 45% of expenses in the UK. That may not apply in Nigeria due
to scarce opportunities. My mrs actually picks up 30% to 40% of our expenses and "im a big boy " lol
b. UK favours people with Children so that would come into play
c. If you are good, eventually you could be earning £600 to £700 times two per day- yeah £1400 per day - as a contractor. Yes a lot of people are holding two contracts at that rate. The question is how much more can your current income grow in Nigeria
d. A UK passport likely awaits you. Being a nanny state, you will be looked after - cradle to grave
e. UK is not that expensive. It is a lie. A 3 bedroom house in say Dagenham(£1400 per month) which is only 45 minutes from
Central London on the tube, is nearly comparable to one in Lekki. Food is very cheap in the UK and yeah, your healthcare is insured
f. You are not barred from ever going back to Nigeria just because you went to UK but the opportunity for UK is likely to dry up after the
people who left because of Brexit have been replaced. UK is deliberately letting people in
g. Your UK headroom is much higher so to say
h. I will also argue that to get similar standard of living in Nigeria(good school for kids, security. healthcare, travels etc) you will spend much
more for what is a commonwealth in the UK. Trust me. I have friends who used to do big boy to me then, biting their lips now, desperate
to get out in their 40s
i. If you lose your job in the UK, two weeks later you get another. In Nigeria I know many people that never recovered till death
j. In nearly all cases, it is good to experience the west. It gives you that balanced understanding of life
k. This highly under-estimated point -> your children start earning and investing from 16 to 18 in the UK. Make that 30 to 35 in Nigeria on
average. This bit is what kills people in Nigeria. Most people's earnings start to go down in their 50s as they slow down
So here you have it

Drugkills:



The best decision you can make is leaving!!! Don’t even look back.

I am talking from personal experience, sending this reply from Birmingham. People survive on 2000£ per month, trust me 4000£/month after tax is a good pay.

My one cent is fight for your family and pocket.

can you imagine? You saying people survive so more or less people in the uk struggle to live on 2 3k per month and you telling him to move

LikeAking:
LIES!

Poverty don wound this one......

2 things i will say, No UK company will offer you tax-free salary. Not even when you are in Naija. I have been on top of the Game for 15yr and I get over 30K GBP a month but I still have to pay taxes. You will live a decent life with 4k but you can live a better life with 1.5M Naira because you will build a network and have other opportunities you cannot get in the west. All you will get in the UK is Money and in the next few years the money will not be a problem or your employer gets someone cheaper than you from naija the same way they found you.

First of all, depends on how good you are and what you can do and company you have contract with. Was with BAE before the current one, will still go back to BAE, i rejected facebook and pretty good Nigerians are there.

NOETHNICITY:
Ok, thanks bro.
But does it require a background is the sciences?

While your background in "computer science can help you...
I still maintain that not having a science/computer science background is never a show stopper for a determined mind

Plus there are non-techy tech jobs if you think you are not cut out for core tech
Project Management, Digital Marketing and Comms, product management; etc
