I wonder if they really need someone in the position they offer you or they are only doing you a favour.

Despise not the days of little beginnings... If you want to follow a career path and you get an opportunity to start small in the path.. Take it and do certifications while at it...it will boost your chances at better jobs.. There is what is called sacrifice. The universe responds to what you put out there. Me I am from delta. I had the opportunity of a job as a INdutrial trainee at 10k/month in Lagos. Mind you I was a graduate.. My salary was only able to carry my transport fair in Lagos.. Although I had to squat with a friend...and so. E times go without food. 6months later I was absorbed into the company at 90k/month and a year later I got another job in another company at 600k/month.my life changed and after then I have had jobs that offered me 5million naira a month outside the country... My advise grow your trade. You are only as relevant as your last experience and certifications. Degree takes u no where. Something gotta give. It's your choice.. I am not saying this may work for you.. I am saying most people I know have even worked for free in these conditions because of experience and today they are where they hoped to be.. Others are not there yet. So figure it out yourself and make a decision based on your convictions. Nobody can help you but you. It's your sacrifice and your failure or success.. No one else... Take it or leave it.. But what I can tell u is that For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newtons 3rd law of motion.

This advice is unique thanks. But where I got the job opportunities are limited there and they stated salary will be increased 4 months later to 40k

princejones:
sir which skill are you talking about here,Microsoft. You knew from onset that you are not taking the job as it can take care of your bills and you still come here to seek opinion and sounded out when given advise you never expected. I will advise you go to the west where you have opportunity and more industrialized as you mention

I really have nothing to say to you if you can’t see other reasons why I brought the discussion here. Do I take the job?

mamaafrik:
I'm presently earning 20k per month as a graduate intern but you know the funny thing,in two years interval i'm being called for an interview whose salary worth 170-200k.
Reach out to those people who are legitimately successful today and they will tell you it comes with a prize.
Never forget the goal,skill,it sometimes hidden in mud and dirt.

Lol but you didn’t state the bills you pay. You could be staying with your parents and the 20k for you is just for data and transport. See through what I wrote rent here is even 8k a month.

tbest0213:
With such salary, I think accommodation should be free, but if u have where u could stay, collect it, my friend started with 30k job, a guy and used the job to gain knowledge and perfect himself, now he works as a consultant to like four company including that same one that was earlier paying him 30k...

I hope you realize the year we are now? And the value of 30k compared to when Your friend was earning it? Rent here is 8k a month.

snowland:
I know someone that made a very good 2:1 from OAU. He served in the north and immediately after his service, he got a job that paid him 30k. He didnt say because he had a 2.1 and lots of skill set, he would not take the 30k job. 6 months later, salary got increased to 40k. Another 7 months later, he got the opportunity to apply for graduate trainee position in the same company he worked with. Due to his experience, he was offered the position and his pay increased from 40k to 110k.
The guy had to potential of earning 400k monthly within 3 years if he decided to stay with the company. But he decided to quit after 1 year of being a grad trainee.
He now makes 10x of what he was making then on a monthly basis.

What did he do: He used part of the 30k monthly salary to get trained in Software Testing while looking for other better opportunities. He was lucky and the software testi g training opened up the opportunity of a good job for him and now, he's doing relatively ok.

You know who this guy is? The guy is ME.

Moral of the story: Never despise the days of your humble beginnings.Take the job, better yourself with any IT training and keep your eyes and ears open for better stuffs out there. God bless your hustle bruh..

What year was this? And you didn’t answer previous question if I should accept or not. Do you know 30k today is different from 30k 10 years ago? Earning 30k you didn’t specify bills that you were paying. You all motivational speakers just come online and talk

mamaafrik:
That job is going give you knowledge,cash and will improve your curriculum vitae.
That will help you in next job searching.

If I was your relative will you suggest I take 30k a month and working everyday morning till evening job as a graduate with skills?

Wantedmiller:
Op.....I have watched carefully how you respond to people advice here.

I can state here ......that you don't need advice!

you knew exactly the next step to take in your life!

probably you posted this here....... for amusement or Sympathy fellowship!

I posted here maybe I can get reasons to take it. And also what has become of Nigeria Labour market too

willybaby:
I lost interest when I saw I was thinking of going legit... Wish you all the best Sha

You didn’t see where I write legit means office work?

shedy03:
Did u do ur primary assignment at the firm in question? If yes, where they giving you stipend?

No but I’m a bit familiar with the staffs

Sammy07:
You keep saying west, no information was added.

Western Nigeria or Europe countries?

Nigeria.

starlightRR:
Don't go with the mindset, starting small is accepted

The job will avail you the opportunity to connect with people and also build experience....just stay focused you will get there

I’m surprised. Are you all actually telling me to go do a job that before month end I will be borrowing money from people to feed?

snowland:
I know someone that made a very good 2:1 from OAU. He served in the north and immediately after his service, he got a job that paid him 30k. He took the job.

Are you saying I should take it?

kaymart:
Op, what's ur qualification?
I mean what did you study in sch?
and what are these skills that you have.
are you science oriented?
let's talk...

Political science and public administration
Microsoft skills

Openbusiness4:
"Location in the South" is a very vague description. Which State in the South? So people here can know how best to advice you. Cuz as far as I know, costs of living varies in different states.

Cost of living here is expensive

post=92187388:
At bolded, to start with, what is the other option you have apart from going legit?
That caught our attention from afar!

Legit means Office work

brownemmanuel43:
From my observation, op is in a confused state.
1. U said u HV relevant skills, what are they?
2. U said u want to go legit, does it mean your intention before was to enter street?
Then, before u take any job pls make sure that it can carter for your immediate bills e.g. transport, feeding etc

It can’t cater for immediate needs

MondayOsunbor:
and you never hear of internet

Interviews? Bro 30k can’t even make me focus on the job. I told you the time of the job. And jobs online are mostly in the west that I said.

Goodzinny:
Accept it and be getting job experiences and still continue looking for better ones.

How do I search when I was told it’s stressful? And the town isn’t an industrial one.

UDUJ:
I am more interested in the statement you made: you were thinking of going legit?

Young man don't be fooled. There is dignity in labour. You can take the job so you have something coming at the end of the month ( no matter how small) while you continue your search for a better job.

The job is stressful 8-5 mon-fri. How do I get better jobs? And the town isn’t even industrial

Shukusheka:
You have given us little information to work with to give an advice.

We do not know your career aspiration, what job you got, distance of workplace to your home, what you studied in school, when you finished school.

Personally, if I made a 2.1 and still freshly out of school, I am not taking a 30k job.

Political science and public administration. Daily t fare will cost about 300naira. I’m 22 age. Career wise I want to grow and possibly be an hr someday.

thankmyGod:
I'll advise you to accept the offer then while working there you can take your time to apply to job of your taste. With this, you won't be so desperate while applying or going for interview. The little experience you will get there is something. Mind you, you won't be able to attend all the interview while working there because the work will take your time. What you need to do is applying for job of your taste while managing yourself there











.

Thanks
The thing is the money offered can’t even pay half of my bills how then do I cope or even deliver effectively. It’s very funny when I heard the salary offered

Ladylite:
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

You haven’t said anything

Maj196:
Sorry is it a law firm?

You know the answer lol

Hello. I was offered a job in a firm. I’m a graduate done with nysc and have a 2.1 with relevant skills. I was thinking of going legit and the salary offered was 30k per month in the firm. Is it worth it? Location is state capital in the south.

Should I take the job or relocate back to the west where they are better opportunities?

Samcoflex75:
Interested

Ok what are you interested in buying?

If you are in asaba, I plan on selling off things in my room as I’m passing out from nysc soon. Standing fan, foam, gas cylinder and other house hold items like buckets keg and all that. Mention me if you are interested. Thanks.

emmanuelewumi:
