Well for me, rejection is part of life.

Life is all about ups and downs. Successes and failures make up the fabrics of our daily lives. So once I interview for any role and got rejected I see it as a loss to the company or institution and I quickly move on.

No hard feelings.

I'm just a green horn, and just about starting a career in it. I've been searching online for where I can learn the skills, but it hasnt really yielded much.
Hence why I'm asking for recommendations of where to start from the very beginning

You need to understand that Business Analysis can mean different things to different people. A BA in say Nigeria Breweries or an FMCG company is different from a BA in an IT Firm, and to some extent different from a BA in a consulting firm.

So you need to narrow yours down to receive the best recommendation. Also, like mysticgal said, you need basic consulting experience.

Career › Re: An 80k Bank Marketing Job: Is The Offer Nice? by mrphysics(m): 5:59pm On Jan 03, 2023

hmlsolo:
Greetings fellow Nairalanders[b][/b]! Happy brand new year to us all. I got a bank offer for the role of a Marketer.

The pay is 80k, which is different from other available incentives. Considering the fact that Marketing Job could be very frustrating, I'm a little bit weary.

I am stuck in between accepting the offer, or focus on building my career. I'm very much concerned about self-development this year.

The marketing role aside from the tempting 80k pay as a new graduate, it doesn't offer much interms of self-development.

What are you takes, fellow NL. Should I accept the offer?

I believe in preparing oneself for the future. Earning 80k now in this economy....
Get a high demand skill and negotiate salary of 700k/month and above

Why should she pay with her own money, I think she should report the employer to IRS anonymously. hmmmm and that would be how much?

In response to how much, be informed that before you get a TCC you must have paid tax for the last 3 years. I don't recommend getting a TCC for 2022 because it will expire 31st December 2022. He/she should wait till January.

In the state where we operate their Tax Management System and IGR, a TCC can be given when a total payment of N250k has been paid for the last 3 years.

The picture below is a paragraph of the memo we received to implement some changes for generating TCC effective January 1st 2023.

If you understand how tax works from the regulators frame of reference you will know that it will take her time to get a TCC.

If she reports to the IRS, the IRS will send their Backduty department to come and audit the firm, this will take time and mean they will pay huge some of money.

If she truly needs a TCC, then she should go through the Direct Assessment Tax department and get a TCC within a day.

Every state have a minimum amount above which a TCC can be given. In some states, it's lower, in other states it could be higher. All she needs to do is to go to any tax office and ask to be assessed and given a TCC. This process has been simplified and TCC can be gotten within hours.

Go into Tax. It's an interesting field with lots of things to learn on daily basis. Knowing how it works is a skill that is important to have.

I have been into taxation from a consulting, tech, and regulatory point and I can tell you that the opportunities are limitless.

Most people who do tax work in IRS of different states but it's not even the right place to work with the knowledge of taxation. Work with tech companies that are into taxation.

It is not matter of best car
I have been riding 06 corolla for years & I know a lot about that car. When it comes to speed, a lot comes into play, the weight, balance & engine size of that car will not allow u to maintain a 170. U can only tell this to people that are yet to drive a corolla. Not someone that has been using corolla for Benin to abuja for years. Max speed on that car is 180, so u can't run 170!

The highest he got to maybe 130 km/hr.

Yeah, I posted the image for old method of computation.

It should be 11% on the remainder, that is 11% * 111k = 12210 + the 7% on 300k

Which gives you the total.

You guys seem to be privy to insider information. Have you heard anything about the timeline for the awardee list?

PTDF does not have a set timeline they follow. It varies every year, thus, they are not predictable.

I remember vividly that it was on June 14th that our names came out. Last year, I think it was in July.

With June almost gone or with the interviews just concluded, it's obvious that the list won't come out this month and we can all hope for July. They are most people here who are connected and have contact of some workers or decision makers in the Tower. So they can know the expected date of release of the list.

Fremaxx the Russian guy. I know say na Russia influence you to give ptdf the "Nuclear" topic that year . And they knew you will be very good in the field because u studied in Russia, yet they couldn't give you the scholarship. To me, I think Nigeria has not gotten to the nuclear space yet that's why they keep rejecting such topics.

I remembered you told me you and the interviewer dragged it to the core. You see ptdf ehn, they are very unpredictable. Until results are out before one can really know what they want.

There are statements we shouldn't be making.

During my studies, I took a large course on thermohydraulics that I could come up and defend it in the interview knowing Nigerian is not yet very advanced in such topics. PTDF is all about getting a topic, linking it to the oil and gas and defending it. But you defending it depends on the people you are presenting to. If they are clueless or have a closed mind that they can only listen to one topic, then irrespective of your knowledge or effort, it will just be a waste.

Fremaxx:
The old professor is actually right for debunking your research proposal. Even with a nuclear waste management proposal, how does it relate to the oil and gas sector. There is no radioactive activity in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Even if you want to use a radioactive stuff, who would fund it?
I am sorry to say but you didn't choose a great research topic for ptdf.
As old as the professor maybe, I totally agree with him.
A topic in petrophysics would have been better than a nuclear topic. Nuclear in oil & gas. Do you know how regulated nuclear activity in Nigeria?
I had a similar experience with an interviewer in 2019, he told me that a gas condensate is for undergraduate research. I had to add a modern technology stuff to it before he could believe me. I didn't get the scholarship.

The purpose of the interview is to know who is actually interested in studying in his/her respective field relating to oil and gas in Nigeria. Nuclear is irrelevant in Nigeria.

Don't blame the interviewer.

You mustn't comment or respond.

First you don't know what my topic is about or the proposal. Secondly, PTDF doesn't fund or support only oil and gas topics.

Lastly, you should know that oil exploration releases radioactive elements from the soil and also that some radioactive elements are used in drilling and contaminate the environment.

A simple google search should show you that the communities in Delta States close to oil fields are all contaminated.

It seems there's a different batch of interviewers for the second week. I really don't understand the incorrigibility of Nigerian lecturers. It sucks that students have to learn from masochists who actively derive gratification from their failure. I think that's a very important dichotomy between Nigerian Institutions and that of other countries. Lecturers there want you to succeed. However, as far as this interview goes, you should be more concerned with the person entering the grades and it seems in your case it was the more affable panelist so hopefully he was considerate. I'm sure by then he would've known how truculent the prof was. Have a little bit of faith.

For me, It was the opposite. I wanted a two man panel, got the most feared three man panel at the center because of a notorious professor I overheard someone being warned about. I went in, I was polite, so were they. The professor was very quiet and seemed impressed but I'm slightly worried because the main panelist grading the interview was not very engaged. I spoke, they listened with very little push back and we had a very amiable discussion about a variety of issues in the energy sector. Not to draw the ire of the anti north conspiracy theorists here but we even spoke a bit of Hausa at their instigation.

At the end of the day I'm okay with the whole thing, it could've been slightly better because I didn't get to say everything I wanted to before being interrupted by new questions but it could've been a lot worse. In fact, they spontaneously assured me that the interview went well but in my mind I'm thinking so did that of many others in many centers around the country so I took it with a pinch of salt. We exchanged pleasantries and I left. A friend who got the scholarship told me as long as your programme is related to energy, they just want to hear how articulate you are. Like you, I have resigned myself to destiny. I have my CAS ready, and I have my contingencies ready. I'm prepared for whatever outcome.

Yes, maybe at the emboldened if and only if he's grading the everything including SOP. The guy was very nice and we discussed about France and he said he will see me soon. I told him that 'I hope so.'

Everything you said is true, there's a very big disconnect between lecturers and students. It's very bad for a lecturer to have his entire education in Nigeria, because when they do, they'd think the world is like the system that groomed them. They become exact replica of what they went through and I think it's so for Prof. He had a closed mindset and he thinks everything is what he knows. But the truth is, he could be a Prof. of Mechanical engineering but may not even be a graduate Assistant in other fields. Hence the reason he should be very open. In France, we reported a lecturer that was not even as close as Prof. We were not understanding what he was teaching and we reported him and he was removed. How much more if we had a Prof-like lecturer.

In all, the second guy graded everything, but I think it will be Prof. that will grade the SOP or maybe the two of them. But then Prof. was entering my O-Level before the guy stepped in and he (Prof.) gave it to him but retained the SOP. Whichever way, it's best not to put mind in him but retain some little faith like you have proposed.
