Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Opiro2000(m): 9:03am On Oct 23, 2007

Hi all.
I'm trying to really check on salaries paid people in different fields. For example, what is the benchmark for new entrants into the media? What do u expect to be paid as an entry-level person in a small scale organization?
Can we enlighten ourselves a bit in this?
Just tell us what you know about a particular field.
Thank you. wink

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Opiro2000(m): 10:26am On Oct 23, 2007

The basic for a front-desk person/ Customer Service person, as I have seen generally, is between N25, 000 and N30, 000. Is this correct? Is anyone in this field collecting above this?

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by diyobdw(f): 10:53am On Oct 23, 2007

For Entry level customer service -{grad} is in that range between 25K-40K at least in a medium size company.
At time industries matter because it make the task kind of slightly different!
Also the skills the person has also command the amount offered.

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by tkb417(m): 12:38pm On Oct 23, 2007

Entry Level for Consulting firms is between 120-150k

By The way, did you say Customer service is 25K to 40 K per annum or per month

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Opiro2000(m): 1:34pm On Oct 23, 2007

@Kobojunkie
I think 25k to 40k is per month.

@tkb417
What size is this firm paying like 150k? Medium or large scale enterprise?

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Kobojunkie: 1:47pm On Oct 23, 2007

While not confirming the figures, when people in Naija say "Consulting", they mean KPMG, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Accenture etc
_{the first thing i did when i saw your question was to check your location}

25k-40k meant per month.

@topic,
salaries are industry-varied and not tied to job functions.

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by tkb417(m): 2:48pm On Oct 23, 2007

All these are for new entrants.

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Greycells(m): 2:57pm On Oct 23, 2007

In the print media what you get is in this range

Print: 7k - 40k entry level (softsell magazines like Encomium, City People, Fame, Global Excellence pay between 7k to 12k entry level).

While serious newspapers pay from 17k -42k entry level (Punch, Daily Independent pay highest).

What they pay in the electronic media is not fantastic too, but the egunje(brown envelope) is fatanstic,

@G-reycells
do you know that of the tv/broadcasting entry level for reporters?

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Opiro2000(m): 4:54pm On Oct 23, 2007

I'm good with these answers. Like adechucks says, if we look at industries, they differ. But does anyone have an idea of entry level pay range for Human Resource professionals?
I also have someone going into a medium sized one-man business as Personal /Confidential Secretary(2 years experience) and she is being offered N35k. Is that good enough?

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by Greycells(m): 6:16pm On Oct 23, 2007

@diyobdw

The pay for entry level for reporters for television reporters is not any fantastic too, I cannnot put a figure to it, but guys that were TV reporters were not any better that their print media counterparts, when I used to work for the Daily Times before it privatization (kiss of death) It is just that it is a far more glamorous industry, and they make more money than other professionals can hope to make,

I think an entry-level person should imagine what the CV will look like in about 5 years, and use that to judge what to take and what to reject.
Apart from that, the person's basic expenses should be covered. e.g If your cousin thinks the 35k does not pay her transport fares through the month, then it does make too much sense to take the pay.
If you think you'll be stuck (not be able to job-hunt) while taking the 35k, it's also not a good thing.
There is no perfect answer for the 35k lady. She has to determine the benefits vs the demerits of the whole show.
Meanwhile, if it offers you an opportunity to meet people and expand your network profitably, then you can overlook the pay and network with bigboys in government and business.
My wife once earned 30k in an oil servicing firm that regularly sent staff abroad for trainings (and eventually got her an american visa for a training, though she resigned not long after and did not go on the training)
So, plenty gist but each person should be long-sighted, and be close-sighted in such decisions.
chikena.

Thank you o. That matters a great deal.

@tbk417

Ur estimate of 120k - 150k for consulting firms is wrong and misleading to reader. I cant believe that u think an entry level customer service person will be paid 120k to 150k, obviously u dont work for a consulting firm otherwise you would know that consultants in Nigeria just carry the BIG international names of their companies but their pay are not comensurate with the big name and the work they do.

Before u get defensive, i'm referring to the likes of Accenture, PriceWaterHouse and KPMG. Incase u dont know, you must be at least a Manager in any of these three BIG consulting firms to earn the BIG BUCKS!

If tbk417 wants phone numbers of people in Accenture, PWC and KPMG, i'm willing to supply names and numbers he can call to verify.

Cheers!

I think that goes for about 25-27k. Used to have a friend doing that.

@adechuks
Thank you. But what benchmarks do we work with when asked the ultimate question? I've heard people ask for 80k in industries that only pay 45k tops for entry level, and they lose the position. So what figures can we say will work for particular disciplines?

If anyone can answer this, I will be grateful.

Re: Varying Salaries In Different Fields by peteroby(m): 9:56am On Oct 24, 2007

the entry level for my kind of job is 50k per month.
