Thanks guys for ALL your insightful comments. Trust me, i appreciate every single one of them.

Tinyemeka:
I beg to differ.

There are banks with job security almost similar to Federal civil service and they are ZB and FBN.

It takes a lot (integrity issues and maybe gross incompetence) to get sacked at ZB. I've heard of several layoffs at UBA but none at ZB within the same period.

The time ZB did mass sacking was when they dropped IT staff at branches.

@OP, one cannot compare the security of working at ZB with UBA. ZB is far better. However, I don't know why they introduced this contract thing. It's just so unlike ZB. If they told you conversion after 2 yrs and you feel you are ok with that sal, then take it. ZB staff tend to have a better bargaining power when they wish to move to another bank.

Thanks a lot

My brother go for UBA, zenith is all about packaging their pay isn't fabulous, and trust me as a contract staff no promotion or confirmation. Secondly if your HR for zenith is peopleplus my brother run for your life man

ADVICE FROM A BANKER..the only bank that converts iis GTBANK and they are d best becos they keep icreasing their contract staff salary from 68k to 80k then 90k b4 converting automatically..I once worked with dem BUT d remaining banks do not convert but would always renew ur contract..they can never ask u to go unleSs on an integrity issues or not carrying out due diligence.

SO my brother the factors to consider are as follows.
1) Go for the one that pays more and be ready to save d money and start a business then reign or else one day d job wud resign u.
2) The bank that is closer to where u live..banking job is streSsful, don't add lagos traffic to it.whish wud make u wake up 4am and reach home 10pm
3) Closing time..some bank close 4pm while some 5pm..GTbank closes 5pm
4) How busy d bank is.. don't go to a very busy bank..becos d crowd wud give u job dissatisfaction.
5) Saturday banking..some banks allows their workers to come on saturdy.
Apply this ideas b4 u choose, NOTE: the first and second point is very important..thank me latter..and remember my brother, u are not a BANKER but a BANK WORKER

Thank you very much

@OP

The bitter truth is that neither of prospecting job opportunities qualifies to be ascribe the revered term " work " . Therefore , I will advise you to go for the one that offered you better pay margin . Meanwhile , here in nairaland , you cannot find bankers , rather at most you will see bank workers .

Thanks a lot

zeusaqua:
in human opinion and as a staff of one of the mention bank i will advice you to choose Zenith....Not because of the duration nor de likely reason of bin converted. the truth is; in both banks u may nt bi likely converted. we that ae in de bankin sector we ae tired n lookin for somtin beta. as a mata of facts all banks ar movin into de contract stuff. infact almst al organisation in Nigeria ae drivin towards dat. but Zenith is a lead n de workin environment is beta compare to uba. al said and done; commit dis matA in 2 Gods hand n seek His direction bcus he knws de end frm de beginning.

Thank you very much

jogojogo:
Either you pray and trust God to direct you or you choose UBA outrightly.

The recent contract staff in UBA were almost disengaged at the end of their contract but by the intervention of some senior personnel in UBA, they were converted to permanent staff. For UBA, you have a chance of conversion but Zenith is strict with their terms of agreement. Also for UBA, you certainly would learn more. In all, trust God for direction because he knows the future. As a man, I would suggest you go to UBA.

Thanks for commenting

I wonder why the recent contract staffs were almost disengaged

equlibrium:
Do not I repeat do not go for zenith.
its a life contract job, you will quickly see that there is staff and there is others, thats you. I dont know the uba situation I admit, but I know the zenith one, and its not nice. Its better than nothing, but you have uba which isnt nothing. If your fear is the contract lenght, the both always renew it, in uba they might/should convert you to full regular staff at the end of it, in zenith they never will, you will always be different, you will always be contract. But then again experience is the best teacher.

Thanks sir

eyoiba:
I dint know much about Zenith but 90% sure tha UBA, will absorb you after the 1 year contrct. Find out if the same is obtainable at Zenith.

The HR during the interviews at UBA stressed on the high possibility of absorption after contract. as for Zenith, i have heard of some contract staffs that have exceeded their 2years contract. they got their contract renewed. so i think there is a better chance of UBA confirming one's appointment than zenith. I stand to be corrected though...

to everyone that has contributed, i deeply appreciate

*still reading comments*

Taylor86:
u just finished medicals and too sure of getting both jobs!!!

hmmm u sound so confident like ur dad is a native doctor(no vex ooo)

anyway i see nothing complicating there if u know ur comfortable now and hv ur basic needs then u can proceed with ur career

but if the reverse is the case youngman get d job and get a life first

FYI am not a banker but all d money my father dey find for briefcase na me dey keep them well foram

I get your point...but i have also received guarantor forms from both banks. so you would agree with me that there's a good chance to eventually get both jobs. hence i think weighing my options is in order.

thanks

help a brother out

Thank you very much...

i appreciate the mods for putting this on front page

come to my aide guys..

I have recently finished medicals with Zenith bank and UBA, and I am pretty sure to land both jobs. Both are contract jobs; however Zenith is offering a two year contract while UBA is one year. The salary difference is not much, so that is not a deciding factor for me. I’m more concerned about career advancement and job security now.

I would appreciate your inputs as to which offer is best. Kindly state the reason(s) behind your suggestions.

I could use your advice…

I would appreciate your inputs as to which offer is best. Kindly state the reason(s) behind your suggestions. I would really love to hear from bankers.

Thanks.

Hello House,

This information is Valid, I have a friend in Kano who has been called up for the interview of the TMR in Abuja yesterday, He was sent an email to come over to Abuja for the interview which was also followed up with a call from one of the HR representative and according to him the interview went well.

Some of us are still waiting to be called up,

Oh...so its not a telephone interview

Chukz1010:
Probably June/July... And it would be from their Western region as the current batch undergoing training are from East and southern region coupled with some left over applicants from the northern region. My assertion is base on my calculations though.

Thanks man

PhockPhockMan:
If its not tribalism, tell me the major reason Yorubas are ready to die for APC.

I believe this statistics of voting pattern across all region makes it clearer who voted based on tribalism more.

I've got a clean curve7, and would want a swap deal with samsung galaxy S3.

PM me

Not good enough

As expected.

netmillionaires:
Chai! PDP won in 3 of 4 already announced LGA in Kaduna but the number of votes won by APC in the 1 out of 4 cancelled out and outpaced all d pDp votes.
#OluwaIsInvolve

If this is true, then the PDP votes must have come from KD south.
