₦airaland Forum

Good afternoon beloved Nairalanders. I am at a croos road and need more information before making this brave and probably career changing decision.

I presently work with a mining company on a contract agreement. Pay in the company is low and there is no assurance of salary increment even after promotion(it has happened already). I have been offered an opportunity to join a drive test and optimization company (in the telecommunications industry).

It is going to be a great avenue to be myself given the freedom to do other activities that comes with the job unlike the mining job that requires me to go to work everyday with less than 5 days off in a month.

Salary is fixed in the mining job while in the other it is not - what I do i what I get.

We all know how hard it is to fend for oneself in Nigeria. Hence, the need for more information on the drive test engineering job because i don't want to get financially stranded.

Your candid advice is highly welcome.

Men have really suffered putting up with these hoes. These are the type of women that kills their husband if caught cheating but pretends as though they've never cheated.

A hot-tempered person is a big red flag in any relationship.

Especially those that have no moral binding. I just want to hope they will take up the matter like it's an adult male involved.

I am a junior mining engineer with few years of experience. I work long hours daily(12hrs) which is usually from Monday to Sunday. I hardly have off days expect occasionally when I ask and my boss deem it fit to let me go.

This long hours coupled with the monotonous nature of the work and lack of defined career path has made me exhausted and wanting to move on to another career path. After searching for a while I got to know about drive test engineering in the telecom industry.

I really love the idea of freelance, clear cut career path and organised training associated with the job. All these are not available within my current mining profession as least from the position I currently occupy. Also moving from one company to another is relatively easier with drive test.

Kindly advice on the viability of drive test engineering within the Nigerian telecom space. I don't want to go from fry pan to fire. Nevertheless, I desire some real growth which my current job can't seem to offer. I am really exhausted and gradually becoming rude and offensive at the slightest anger.

Thank you in anticipation of your sincere advice.

What can a religious leader do? I guess he can only advice a political leader who may then choose to either follow or ignore the advice.
