Hello Nairalanders..

I am a bit confused right now. I have two remote jobs currently, they both pay me 200k and 150k salary respectively. These two companies have been existing for over 3 years so they have built up structure that one could trust a little over time...

I recently applied for another full-time job, it's a startup that is just moving from ideation phase to implementation. And they are offering me 650k salary a month even though I told them my salary expectation is 500k a month. I will be working 2 days onsite, 3 days remotely.

I am enticed by this new salary and at the same time, my current jobs have built structure that I can trust.

Not to even mention that I occupy a very important position in these two companies: though not a big deal.

Please i am just confused... Just finanlized everything with the company’s management team.. I am meant to resume next two weeks.

This is really a challenging choice to make. Anyways, since the new one is even offering something bigger than what you asked. You should consider it. But carefully try to understand their business projections, at least to be sure they won't mess up half way.

In all, seek God's leading.

From experience, start up companies will promise you heaven on earth only to disappoint you.

They may have the funds initially, what happens most times is under budgeting. In the end, you'll end up being owed salary.

I have been in the exact same situation as you. I picked the later. Till date, the company still owes me more than 1.2M in salary

You better leave that startup and continue the remote work. They will overwork you, owe and discard you anytime.

One line, the devil you know is better than the angel you never know be wise

Please what are your core skills?

Opexzy don't be confused.

I will leave you with this quote

Jeremiah 10:23


Seek the counsel and direction of God in everything you do.

My piece of advice for you is seek God and put Him first in all you do.

Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Where Una dey see this kind jobs

He is software developer.
I'm also a software developer and I have two jobs which are both remote. Both companies are in Lagos while I am in Abuja trying to secure another one with a company in the USA through their Nigerian partner who are training us. Though one of the two companies are kinda shaking but I am still their employee.
Bottom line is for you to learn any IT related skills as it's the new gold mine.

Nobody here can influence your decision, what is in your heart is what you will do...

As for me, I will stay put in my current job, not because I don't like more money, but because I value my space more....

That's exactly my resolution. The only limitation here is pc. I need one badly. You mind helping out?

How exactly do you want me to help you out with the PC issue?

If you can lend me your spare one for a few weeks or months, I'd honestly appreciate it. I just want to get started. I'm already saving for one. It's not easy, you know!

Please, what IT skill would you recommend to a lady?

It doesn't really matter the gender of the individual. What matters most is the area he/she is very good at. Which comes as a result of "deep self searching" (if I can use the phrase). But most ladies that I know are UI/UX designers and Frontend developers. Probably because these two areas requires little or no Logic/Arithmetics.
Generally, if you are naturally creative and good with graphics, I will suggest UI/UX design.
But you really need to do some facts finding and maybe try each area.
So these are the popular areas as long as web applications development is concerned:
1. UI/UX designer
2. Frontend developer
3. Backend developer
4. DevOps

There are others, but these are the popular areas any serious company must have imo.
I'm a Frontend/Backend developer with some DevOps skills as well because I can host apps on the cloud. I have basic knowledge of UI UX design but I am not good with graphics so I didn't go further.

Finally, I also train and mentor SERIOUS newbies at an affordable fee.

Hopefully all I have said made some sense.
