You better grab the state work

You will have rest of mind, time for yourself and family
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by OdefaGirl(f): 2:16pm On Oct 04, 2022
Too much stress with that bank marketing..... You've got targets to meet and from what I heard so far, marketing is more difficult for guys unless you have Businessmen as friends. You can also loose the job without notice... But the pay is slightly better than government job.


So, go for Govt job where you can have time to consider and venture into other businesses.... but mind you, it can make you a broke lazy man because.... pay is very poor.

Good morning all,

Please I need a matured and straightforward advice.

I did my youth service in 2017, started work with one small company like that and was able to build my own house from the job. Now the company has closed due to covid related issues. I applied for a job in one of the new generation bank, i wrote their test and attended interview, later I was asked to go for medicals which i also passed, currently we are just waiting to be call for training, about 40 of us.

During the interview we were all asked if we can work as a marketer of which we all answered in affirmative, that means we can end up working as a marketer which I honestly don't like.

Last month my boss asked me if I can work with a state government and I agreed, and he said I should get ready to resume work by January...I'm at the moment confused and need guidance.

I'm from the north, married with one daughter....

my questions :

1. Does it means the bank will employ us as a marketer just because they ask us during interview if we can work as a marketer?
2. Can I grab the bank job or state government work ... what's more important in the long run

AM A BANKER ,GO FOR STATE GOVERNMENT WORK AND RUN YOUR BUSINESS AS A SIDE HUSTLE. NOTHING LIKE PEACE OF MIND
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by samwash(m): 2:18pm On Oct 04, 2022
If the bank job comes first take it, then when the state job comes latter you can switch over but mind you don't go & sign bank bound that will keep you at the job for some few years to come telling you if you have to leave, you are to pay some certain amount that was use in training you.
Depends on the state civil service, ministry or parastatal that will define how much you will be paid.
Some State government are found of owning workers salaries but you will have peace of mind & also have time for side hustle.
Your carrier growth is also certain with government jobs.

Are you in need of an advice? Because you sound more like you're telling people what advice you expect from them. Matured and straightforward advice might not necessarily be as effective as a well-thought advice. Go for the bank job, and be careful not to waste what you earned there. Hope you got it!

I go with this too
That is the way to go. The State government job isn’t sure yet so why not go with the bank job and still keep his ears open for that State government job and if it materialize then he can switch if he’s not cool with the bank job
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by Majesty33(m): 2:39pm On Oct 04, 2022
Is it not this same state government that owe their workers, well making your choice between state government work and bank work is quite dicey, had it been its a federal govt work, there wouldnt have been any issue.
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by blank(f): 2:40pm On Oct 04, 2022

Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by Nobody: 2:41pm On Oct 04, 2022
Iamthoney:
Since the state government job is until January why not just go with the bank job and stay there until January before switching
OP follow what this comrade said. Comrade oil dey your head no be small.

OP remember what you can control and can't control, January can come and you will be hearing stories that touch, follow the one that's sure and when State Government job comes, switch.
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by Middleborn: 2:41pm On Oct 04, 2022
Start the bank job, very likely it will pay more than the government job. If they start you as a marketer, it will be excellent...in that case you can work in the government (as this would not require all your time as the bank job) and keep your bank job as a marketer.

In the event they change your position in the bank to maybe say, Teller. You have to quit the bank job, but before then you must've saved up something from the bank job.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. A state government job you are sure of is better than a bank marketing job you are not sure of. And do you really want to become a marketer? I don't think so.

State Government work all the way. Bank jobs especially for contract staff always end in premium tears. You will regret it if you miss the state government work and accept the bank marketing work. You will not forgive yourself.
Re: State Government Work Or Bank Job by abba99: 3:54pm On Oct 04, 2022
othermen:
Congratulations on your options.

In the bank, working as a marketer gives you the opportunity to build your own social contact and it is one of those job roles that provides opportunity for career growth; though there can be pressure, in so far, you can meet the deposit threshold or target set, you should be up there.

I don’t know the details of the government job. If it’s in the ministry or in a parastatal- consideration would vary. It’s also likely to be less demanding in terms of effort.

Insofar, no alternative till January, you can take the bank job, attend the training and get more insight about your potential job description. By January, you can resign if dissatisfied and go for the other government option.

Thanks you so much for this advice... I will try this... if I'm call for training before January I will just go. Anyone comes first I will grab..
