Hiya!

I'm not sure all those personal details would matter in your choice of career, job, pay and all.

Roles and earnings are dependent on several factors, primarily, experience, skills, industry and negotiation prowess.

No two persons have exact portfolio and experience in life, hence, there's no one size fit all model for these things.

My previous diary entries have answered of the questions, though.

Interestingly, I've not attempted to convert my current salary to Naira, as you've done. I guess you'll finish the reason not to as well.

Best!

EngrKemp:

Ok thanks..
But u seem choosy with your response hence the skip about your course of study, the higher institution u attended, if a uni or a poly...
At 45k£ a month,u are talking about 36m naira a month, after tax , u may be having about 20 k naira a month....A good Start.

Gladly help us v a pip into ur foundation.
As u can rightly deduce, I already love ur impetus..
I'm certain u will get there...

I'm waiting...
- Ur course of Study****
-Ur institution (federal or state or a private uni or a poly)

Your previous role and job in Nigeria..


Cheerrs

I don't get.

What do you mean, bro/sis?

megastu:
That is the problem many of us are having. That 20k will actually go nowhere.

lightnlife:
The major roles I applied to at inception were between £32K to £45k per month. But I didn't secure any of them. I'd attribute that to lack of in-country experience.

Then I downgraded to openings between 22k and 25k.

Most of the regular ones that reached out had an average of £19K -21K.

You can check Indeed and LinkedIn for salary ranges.

Weldone ma. I enjoyed your thread. Please do you mean 45k per annum or per month.

I will really like to know jobs that pay close to 600k pounds yearly because All jobs salary range I see in the UK. I have not seen anyone except 150k pounds per annum.

So I am dazed.

Can you mention possible roles that pay that much. U can mention vaguely maybe mention industries that have high paying salaries

Thank you

Thanks for dropping by.

All mentioned rates are annualised.

Actually, £45,000 isn't small money. One will live well above the average standard.

The minimum wage is £9.50 per hour. If you work 2000 hours per year (40 hours per week), that'll be £9.50 X 2000 = 19000. The monthly would be around £1500 before tax.

The average salary (annual) is 38k.

So anyone earning 45k isn't a small boy.

Per 150k jobs. I only know of high politicians earning such. Others who earn close/around/above this would be consultants (specialists in any industry) that are not locked down to a single company, and mid & high level entrepreneurs.

I think you're analysing the salary from a Nigerian perspective. You should be looking at the cost of living and purchasing power of the currencies involved.

People live on a monthly budget of £700, 900 or 1000 depending on their lifestyle and location.

You only decide and work towards the life/earnings you want.

It's what it is; humans will always survive despite challenges.

Yes, Cost is rising without commensurate increase in income. But people are still saving, and living well.

One thing about developed economies is that people are able to afford the basics once they have a job. If they dream of a better livelihood, there are also opportunities. This isn't the case in developing or underdeveloped world.

If you have the opportunity of legally migrating to a developed world, I'd advise you do it. Your fears and doubts about surviving will be drowned within few months.

Queen Elizabeth II don kick bucket...God rest her soul.

I saw the news of her unstable medical condition on Sky News this afternoon. The thought of her death came to my mind but I didn't want to voice it in public.

At 96, I knew she had little chances of surviving after reading that she was on medical observation.

God rest her soul.

I hope they'll declare week of morning and holiday oooo. I need a long holiday

Hello All, please I need clarification on something. I recently got a job in the Uk with salary of £50,000.

Below are my questions:
I) is the salary above fair enough for a single guy
Ii) How easy is it to get side jobs outside the one on my work visa?

50k isn't a bad deal for a start. And yes, it's above fair pay for a single person.

Often, relocation isn't just premised on money.

Most people are financially secured back home but choose to relocate for exploration, security and access to more opportunities.

So, you might as well ask yourself what's the motivation for relocating? That will help you analyse and personalise your quest for relocation.

Most medical people that migrated to the UK on skilled visa started out with an offer of 25K. And they're doing well.

Depending on the industry you work, 50k might be low based on your experience and expertise. But it's all left to you to determine what works fine for you in terms of your current earning and your aspirations.

Best!

Project support?

Hi.

I mean earning 20k pounds per annum is small for a family but many wont know until they get there.

lightnlife:
I don't get.

What do you mean, bro/sis?

Yeah, it's small.

I'm not sure one can get a work visa with such pay grade.

20k is like minimum wage/band 3 and most companies don't sponsor for such range.

However, there are millions of Brits living off such salary if there are other household income.

Some families survive on a household income of 40-45k per annum. Again, it's dependent on their lifestyle, location and the dream they have. Meanwhile, some people have a household earning of 70-100k yet they still complain.

What visa are you on?

What other visa options do people have aside schooling,because it seems most of the people going with school visa are just using it as a getaway card..

Happy weekend op.

Give us update.

N/B

Your write up suggested that the 45k£ was going to be per month, I may be wrong tho hence my enquest on your foundation,perhaps ur bias as well.

It's ok..
Since u were actually quoting it in years as it should.
In my field, I will likely earn minimum of 4k£ per month regardless.
But then ,it's going to be about 7-8 months in a year...

I'm actually happy it's gonn be that way because tho out for so long,I'm getting it in bulk n invest as I wish with my bouyant time.
To each his own as u rightly said...

I'm learning alot from u as it stands n I hope to keep learning.

My crux right now is the twilight of ww3,
I wouldn't like it as I pray and hope it's not gonn happen.
My trade.. onward together***

There are a myraid of visa in the UK.

Many are, somewhat, stuck with study visa because they aren't exploring other visa options and public information.

There are over 20 work visa types aside other categories.

See the visa options here: https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration

No salaried worker in the UK earn £45k/ month.

That quote will be the annual salary of a specialist/consultant. Average salary in the UK is around £22k annually

I thought as much thanks.
It's a balanced economy

EngrKemp:

but most sport men esp footballers earn that and even.more than that weekly, some even collect 100k pounds weekly

Sportmen aren't salary earners.

Some businesses make over that per month.

They're not salary earners. The scope of the conversation is around salary pays.

We've got bank holiday on Monday.

Thanks to Mama Charlie's demise.

Rest on, Queen mother.

Happy Independence Anniversary, fellow Nigerians

Hi Everyone,

My wife was ban 4yrs ago at the UK embassy due to some fake document an agent use in her application and we just got married few months ago and i want to apply for a work visa and i want my wife and kid to accompany me.

*did she stand a good chance as i am the main applicant?

someone advice i apply alone then once my visa has been approved then she can apply separately.
i don't want this if she will not be issued visa there is no point traveling alone without my wife and kid.

I know of someone that was ban but got married to one European woman and they both travel to London together but the wife was the main applicant. i dont want to mix this things up because i am black with a Nigerian passport.

biko my people, if anyone have a clue should please advice.

This is the best thread I've visited since i created my nairaland account in 2009, I came across this thread today and I've been glued to the screen of my phone reading every single page since morning,

how is life in the UK

Cos some dumb folks on Nl are always against the Uk would love to hear your review

Life: so far, so good...Thanks to God.

Your question just made me count my fingers to ascertain how long I've been here ooo It's almost 7 months ooo. How time flies!

As earlier mentioned, the UK currently has a shortage of workers. This means, there are more jobs than willing and qualified personnel.

So, if one has the right skills, experience and packaging, one can be sure of clinching any job one wants.

For those working, the culture is simple; work hard, play hard. I've seen many Nigerians complaining about the stressful work culture here and one thing it points out is the lack of a strict work culture a lot of Nigerians had/have back home. Here, when you're at work, you are AT WORK. No downtime and no off time unless you are scheduled for it because na computer dey balance your timing, and due to the staff shortage there is always a need to do more within the shortest time possible.

I'd same say there's something for everyone. It just might take time, which is a normal thing any/everywhere. For instance, I'm still on probation at my workplace, but I've been given a promotion to another department ahead of passing my probation. If you do well, you'll gain the results. I've won a couple of rewards for literally just doing my job without knowing that those metrics would count for rewards. One of my senior colleagues recently nominated me for a Staff Award.

I like the work culture and company I work in.

It's not uncommon to see employees that have been around for 15 - 30 years in my company. They link consistency. The average brit doesn't ask for too much - basics, equity and a good environment. The quest to amass wealth isn't as pervasive as you have in Nigeria. The system is structured to support at whatever social cadre you are.

Similarly, there are those who are rollers. They change job every year. One guy just left this week after nine months. He said he doesn't like the job. I say no be your fault, na because you know say you go see another one fast or government go dey pay you unemployed benefit.

Again, it is not the best/perfect system but it is better than Nigeria.
