₦airaland Forum

Hello guys, please I need your advice. I'm currently in a dilemma on what to do with my life presently. I'm a lawyer called to the bar in December 2022. Afterwards I practiced in a law firm for 6 months before resigning due to the meagre salary and harsh work environment. I just couldn't keep up, Although I can confirm that legal practice was very terrific but it's something that you can only enjoy if you're well paid at the Law firm or company you work with to effectively maintain the standard expected from you.

I've been jobless for 8 months now as all the efforts I put into securing a job ended in futility. I'm thinking of going for my masters degree(LLM) instead of staying idle at home with my parents. I think by doing this I can keep myself busy and improve on my career academically while also trying to find a good job in today's Nigeria.

Serious advice needed please

But u will spend in naira? It's same shitz hitting d fan.u won't buy items cheaper because u are earning dollars.so either which way we are in a mess together.

Believe me when i tell you we do not feel it bro. As the prices of goods are increasing due to the weak naira, we on the other hand are getting a corresponding increase in our converted payouts too because we earn hard currency. We only need to adjust to spending more naira but I can't say the same for my brothers working in Nigerian companies and earning a fixed salary. They are the ones in a serious mess.

yewit37486:
Make sure you don't undervalue or underprice yourself though, always benchmark your skills and demand for the corresponding pay levels regardless.

yes, this is great advice. But sometimes it's wise to charge lesser in order to retain your client's and as time goes on you normalize and increase your charges. This always works.

Chummynoni:
that is true.

sorry typo.

Chummynoni:
does it change anything? This is simple economics bro'v. Assuming you earn $100 when a $ was #500, that was 50000 and things were relatively cheap so the 50k would get you enough things to sustain, now a $ is 1500 which means you earn 150k with skyrocketed prices of goods and services, then you will realize the inflation doesnt favor you the way you think.

you're right but that's exactly what I meant. Now imagine I was earning a fixed salary here in Nigeria I would suffer more because that 50k would not change no matter the inflation. Earning in dollars means I get a pay raise relative to the economic realities in Nigeria.

I'm very glad I earn my money In dollars. Best thing about earning in dollars is that the foreigners paying you don't realize the high value of the dollar in your country, to them it's chump change, lol. I'm thankful 🙏

You can try PayPal but I also would not recommend it. Those of us earning in foreign currency can attest to the unfair situation on all the international platforms unless you can somehow convince your company to send your remuneration via bitcoin.

Don't try this at home.

I just tried and this is what I came up with.

How were you able to do this?

Drugs, Alcohol or Pussy.

I usually go with drugs so choose wisely.

Sendaros20000:
Yes, I received the mail around 12pm.
But I got another job better than ICPC 2 months ago and I’ve already resumed.
I don’t know if replacement is possible.
