Do you know all the jargon in every other field other than your specialization?

Don't be a silly attention seeker.

So why not ask before criticism...a lot of folks up there are already dragging him and calling him a clout chaser and all sort...

Dear Mr UK,



Care to tell us what you are currently earning with your double digit experience?

exactly. His current pay is a key indices to his current salary demand. One cant earn 150k Naira at a current role and expect 3500 dollars in a similar role elsewhere.

MARSONE:
So a friend sent me a job advert on LinkedIn of a firm looking for a Steam experienced 3rd marine engineer to work on an FPSO in Nigeria.

I sent out my CV to the firm and they got back to me 4 days later asking me to look at the pay scale and reaffirm if they should proceed with the process.

Looking at the pay scale, it was way below what I was expecting and I had to reject it with the below message.

I will be willing to discuss further if the pay is in dollars and monthly take home is above $3500.

NB:

I am UK schooled with all the necessary certifications and very well experienced in my field with double digit years (12 years) experience.

what is your current salary and does your current job title match this one or is it an upgrade on your experience sir. That will aid in your salary negotiation. Take note that for a salary scaled firm, the salary for your position is fixed and you will struggle to get a individualized salary without sufficient proof that you can bring true business value to the new firm

Onward together...
I'm a Mariner too..
Eto....

Which institution in the UK is good for Class..... CoC for ETO.

Try South Tyneside College in South Shields. That is a very good Marine College.

I hope with 6months..I'm getting done..
Is there any one close to or around in northern Ireland?
A marine school.

He owes no one no further explanation neither do I. If the information is useful to you, fine. If not, pass. If you want further info, ask politely. But like I said he doesn't owe any one any explanation

Trash...

Then, why is he disturbing public domain with his trash?

For them to draw your attention to the salary they know you're worth more. Keep your head up.

What DPVM,CoC?

DPVM - Dynamic Positioning Vessel Maintenance - It's a course for ETO, Marine Engineers and Technical personnel onboard ship or FPSO

It cost about N1.1million @ Charkin PH for 5 days

While CoC - Is a license given to Engineers or Deck Officers (Just like ICAN for accountant)

It's of different stages (Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3) You must have completed 24 -36 months experience on each rank to write the exams with Oral Interview to be given the license

(sadly Nigerian CoC is not really recognised outside, even Some companies in Nigeria prefer Ghanaian or foreign CoC to be considered for a job offer)

Saifullah01:
OP,
Don't mind the negative comment from all these small minds that think everything is for show of. It's because we don't share anything of worth that's why the Nigerian cyberspace is baren and filled with scammer.

Imagine you want to know how much the pay of someone in your industry, with your experience, in Nigeria and all those stuff - This post just partly answers it.

To get this kind of vital info I need to start searching foreign blogs like monster.com, indeed, glassdoor etc. But here we have it and all you guys say is - so what?

Thanks for sharing OP.

Thank you my brother. God bless you for understanding why I shared this post.

fashrola:


Are you working onboard LNG tanker vessel?

Taking that FPSO job it's cool even though the pay is very poor, but at least it will boost your CV and give you more time with your family

Or try and get a Motor CoC and get a job in our coastal water, at least with DPVM you get to be paid 1.3 million per month

I used to but I moved and I want to keep moving. I have a motor time on the DFDEs but not the ticket yet cos I had to go back to school. Now I am looking for land based jobs or something close to home for family sake.
