Your salary is less than £1,000. Think am well

A year, I don't live in Lagos

oh ok but you know thats only 300 pounds you are paying for the whole year in rent. in the uk that figure is 12,000 pounds a year in rent. so basically you pay 40 times what you are paying now for rent in the uk for the whole year. think about that before you make uninformed comments like the one i quoted you initially for .

I always enjoy reading this type of posts. You'll see a guy still struggling with WAEC giving advice.

It's even funny when they say you can make thousands of pounds doing menial jobs. How naive. If you make money, how about expenses?

As for the OP, if and when you need serious advice, you'll do your research properly. You wouldn't get sensible advice here.

forgive me for asking please, which course did you study?

Take this advice from me, and remember it came from me, you won't regret it. If you're finding it difficult in the UK later let me know.
But first I'd like to know some things about you.

What is your academic background that got you the 620k job?
Was your first degree in Nigeria or abroad?


Imagine if you add MSc from UK, and wish to return , will it not boost your office position with higher pay?

If you want to base in the UK, then the future of your children are secured in a working system.

As I said earlier, pursue the UK dream, even if you do minial jobs, you can easily make 1k pounds (more than 700k in naira)

You have a point doh, but people make way more than that to cover for the cost of rent. People earn up to 4000 to 5000 pounds a month in the UK. 5000 x 12 is 60,000 pounds. That's a lot of money, remove rent and other expenses, a lot of money is still left. Much more than I'll make even with my 800k naira in a year here

With the situation of this country, oboy JAPAooo9ooooooooooo

Oga, if you like yourself jaap straight.
You no better pass managers n businessmen wey dey sell their houses, japa.

really ? doing what job The average wage in the UK is 24000 a year before taxes and 18000 after taxes. thats like 1600 a month

whats my point ? let the man stay in naija with his 600 k job. he is doing better than most in the uk

oh ok lol

if u av a skilled worker route to UK I would appreciate

OboOlora:
Job wey dem fit sack u tomorrow if Govt change policy that kills the business of your employer
Or make kidnappers carry de ask for 50M ransom
Or make u get one terminal illness wey Reddington go use u chop with zero facilities

Too many uncertainties, may Nigeria not happen to you.

Meanwhile that 620k is less than £800, you can make such amount working 20hrs a week for 1month while still studying

Choose wisely my friend!!!

negative thoughts just full this 1 brain, u never see anything am sure Dem don deny u visa several times

oh i dont know anything about these japa visa moves. am a novice

Take the job, save for a year or two and move to Canada or Australia.

Op....take my 10 kobo opinion

Take the job...

Use am gather experience...

Save money as you work...

School no dey run..You can enrol for online master...

Later on, japa to Canada with your savings as a professional..do recognised worldwide certifications in relation to your career path...(your naija experience will help)..you go get better package for canny

Sha think am well..Best of luck

Lawatog:
Lol. Even with the high rate of inflation in UK it's still far better than Naija. We all have our choices to make anyway. I made mine last year - also left a job with a very good pay and I haven't had any regret so far and I won't have any by God's grace.

Just weigh your options and do the needful but if I was in your shoes "Iyalaya 620K" per month.

Hoping to come there soon bro,HW life over there

620k per month is less than 10m per annum and people are amazed about the OP's salary.

Omoh. There's poverty in this country!

What's the point?

It depends of what your plans are but my brother nothing is sure anywhere. For me I'll rather stay in Nigeria. I earn around N695k net monthly and I have no plans to japa for any reason. I believe in the adage that says a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

UK abeg.


With part time gigs in pounds, you would make more of that and have opportunities for bigger gigs after

and would spend more on tax too

True and his monthly rent in Naija is less than £120

Ajakaiye83:
Hello folks,

Please advise me on a serious matter.
Just got a JOB offer for 620k in a very reputable company and I am also processing Msc in UK. should i go ahead with job or keep old job and japa?

Old job pay 280k

Chairman
First re you married
Free education for your kids in UK,
Secondly Msc in UK can get you a better Job in Nigeria if you choose to come back
You can make 620k in a week
In UK
Bros Msc in UK is better
You have post two years visa after study
Do your research well
Have seen people earning over 1m and still leaving

What's the point?

Point of what?

UyaiIncomparabl:


Point of what?

The point of working/saving for 2 years before relocating.

Acidosis:

True and his monthly rent in Naija is less than £120

Doesn't make staying back here any better. If his course for MSC is on the UK's shortage occupation list, he won't struggle after his studies.

Canada is a better destination than the UK (in my opinion) and more expensive, so he needs more money.

Mikedgr8:
Japa is not advisable, earning that kind of salary in this present economy is still a good one!

Not sure of his cock and bull story.

Just as how converting his salary from Naira to pounds does not make it bad or poor.

The OP may be considering leaving the country for a variety of reasons, but a poor salary shouldn't be one of them.

Oh okay!

If u can get these opportunities then u should be wiser
