Career › Re: Career Crisis - What Do I Do by Mountbatten: 2:53pm On Aug 02, 2023

xammax:
Hi guys,

So I recently got a job in a big 4 firm. Apparently I’m in tax and I am absolutely not finding it enjoyable.

I’m sad about this because I want to do audit.

I’m only sticking it through, it appears I cannot move in my firm because I just joined and going to a year.

I do want to leave to another big 4 firm to audit as I don’t mind starting over but then I do not know the process of doing this to make this move.

How do I cope with something I absolutely do not find joy in.

Advise…..

Speak to your partner and let them know your concerns, as it's probably still early or close to the end of the FY depending on your firm.

Should they not listen, apply to another Big 4 (referral is much better) and move on.

To avoid statements like “After everything I have done for you, I gave you breathe, I made and built you up…” in the next minor misunderstanding.

Would rather die of hunger than borrow from a woman who isn't my mother or sister. At least their love has limited conditions.

Celebrities › Re: Men Cheat For Fun Not Because They Don’t Love Their Wives — Blessing CEO by Mountbatten: 10:30pm On Aug 01, 2023

Rubbish, men don't cheat for fun but are more likely to cheat when:
• She starves her man of sëx, forcing him into banging other women.
• She stops making effort into looking pretty, which is a massive turn off.
• Due to the above, he begins to find her unattractive but doesn't mean he doesn't love her. He just needs to satisfy his primitive needs.

In summary, women should never let their men leave home with an empty stomach and full sack.

Travel › Re: Don't Come To The UK If You Are Guilty Of These 10 Things by Mountbatten: 6:54pm On Jul 30, 2023

Solid post. In addition,

• Travelling abroad is completely from living and earning there.
• Don't also fall into the trap of converting local currency to Naira as bills will erase this mindset real quick
• Ensure to have a partner you're travelling with, especially if you're not the sociable type otherwise you'll struggle with loneliness and depression from the weather.
• Ensure to have a solid job or offer with a take home of at least £40,000 after tax before going to the UK as the job search is brutal.

This one is mental o. Is it your money? Or you think everyone has empty pockets or poor mentality like yours?

People earn good money and cus of so, spend good money on themselves and their needs eg gadgets. Get a life and stop embarrassing yourself on someone’s case.

No mind the broke fellow. Accounting for inflation, ₦170,000 is nothing for a phone. I remember buying a new iPhone 5s for ₦150,000 in 2012 when it launched. Newer top range phones will cost you over ₦450,000 these days.

lexy2014:
What do u want to do with a phone that cost 170k or u just feel like opening thread?

Are you paying for the device, otherwise how's it any of your business? Just because you can't afford to doesn't mean OP shouldn't.

If you can't make any meaningful contribution, you can always skip the thread.

RE OP: You should try getting a used iPhone 12 with at least 90% battery life if you can stretch your budget. iPhones are worth every penny as they last a long time compared to other phones in that range. It will see many more years of meaningful OS updates.

Better to save to get what you want than settle for something you'll suffer buyer's remorse for.

Family › Re: Are Physical Attributes So Important? by Mountbatten: 1:45pm On Jul 30, 2023

So let me get this straight.

• You are a single mother, with two kids who's over 30 years old.
• A man who is rich, caring, generous and with the possibility of becoming a king in a few years is interested in you.
• He's married, you're not keen on royal family ties, and he's too short for you.

Why are you wasting time dealing with someone you clearly have no interest in? Did you post this to seek validation because I really don't understand the point of this post?

If you're truly doing great financially then focus on your kids ffs! You seem shallow and you didn't give us a background as to how you ended up as a single mum with 2 kids.

No man who is tall, rich, caring and generous will want anything to do with you as they have better options. Why would they even consider you? Men generally don't like raising other men's kids.

Travel › Re: Why A Nigerian Was Denied Schengen Visa (Refusal Letter) by Mountbatten: 1:30pm On Jul 30, 2023

This is excellent news! People who go abroad with nothing to offer except becoming leaches to the government, whilst tarnishing what's left of the Nigerian name out there, deserve no sympathy.

Why would you want to leave Nigeria or your home country, if you are settled and established there? Unless you have an ulterior motive, there's nothing special about these other countries, as there's no food for the lazy man. It's not the land of milk and honey as bills dey choke too.

You're basically a pay check away from becoming homeless abroad if you don't have an established network. Same can't be said of Naija tbh.

Career › Re: Before You Accept That GROSS Salary, Here's Are Steps To Calculate Your Net Pay by Mountbatten: 12:20am On Jul 26, 2023

oluplus:
This Is not explicit enough.
His aim is to determine the net (take home, not.

You did not factor other deductions like pension, medicals etc
N2.8M can not be the NET in your scenario

Pension, medicals and other benefits are not usually added to net to avoid tax on other incentives. Your taxable income is your net and this was just high level accounting.

Career › Re: Before You Accept That GROSS Salary, Here's Are Steps To Calculate Your Net Pay by Mountbatten: 5:01pm On Jul 25, 2023

1st class but can't break down simple concept smh.

Just do 20% of your gross.

For example
Gross: ₦3,500,000
Tax: 20%

Therefore, multiply Gross x Tax to know what government takes from your gross as tax.
₦3,500,000×20% = ₦700,000

To get your net pay, subtract your gross from how much government takes
₦3,500,000 – ₦700,000
Net Pay= ₦2,800,000

To get your monthly pay, divide your net pay by 12
₦2,800,000/12
Monthly pay = ₦233,333.33

In summary, if your gross is ₦3,500,000 with tax at 20%, your net pay is ₦2,800,000 and your salary is ₦233,333.33 or just ask for your payslip.

I really struggle to see what the average simpleton sees in this sort of “reality” TV show.

I blame the high unemployment rate in Nigeria for making these randoms into believing they actually add value to society, as they tend to feel self-important because of their jobless fans.

Took some time to actually go through these profiles, and they seemed so washed up. Lots of “has-been” who don't want to let go of the “spotlight”.

Anyone with a salary of 100k and above have no reason whatsoever to complain.

₦100k isn't liveable salary in Lagos. Anything lower than ₦250k for entry level in 2023 is poverty tbh.

To add a bit of context, ₦100k is $117.65…

This is what happens when you focus on your career and forget to build character and personality. Besides her cosy job, what else has she got to offer that makes her stand out from a guy's POV?

The thing about “the abroad” is no one gives a flying toss about you. It's worse if you're a black woman, as you're at the bottom of the dating ladder. My advice is she should go get some real hobbies, begin to volunteer for causes she believes in as a way to meet new people. Join local communities and be humble, as men are not impressed by a woman's career or income.

Men don't want to date men, so women need to stop trying to be one.
