200k Gross Job In Lagos Or 150k Gross Job In North. by Hinokami(op): 9:26am On Dec 30, 2022
I'm in a conundrum. I got an offer in lagos for 200k gross and I know net pay will make it lower.

I've never been to lagos or have any one close to the Island where the job is located but it offers excellent career growth.

My current job in the North is stress free but has no growth internally.

I'm thinking of turning down lagos because I believe I'd struggle to get acquainted with the city, traffic and accommodation issues.

Anyone who also had this experience and did it pay off moving to lagos?

Note that I can get more opportunities if I keep improving myself.

150k in the North.

That 50k you think you want to make in Lagos will finish on transportation.

Career growth is a very important thing. The question is where do you see yourself in 5 years? And which of the 2 locations can help you achieve that dream?
