Hello everyone.

Please, I need your advice as I am confused at the moment.

I am to choose between the job of 130k on the mainland or job of 330k on the island. Pls note that I started the 130k few months ago and I spend 600naira daily on transport (about 13k on transport for a month). It is on the mainland and not far from my area. No traffic or whatsoever. My colleagues are amazing people, and the workplace is super convenient. I didn't apply for the job, but the CEO gave it to me when I messaged him that I needed job, so he decided to help me by giving me the job. He is a good man who cares about people. I can say that he motivates me a lot.

I am to start the 330k soon, but it is on the island, and I am to spend about 4k on transportation (about 90k). I will still have the balance of 240k left on me after removing transportation.
I am confused because I don't know how to discuss it with the CEO who assisted me. I am thinking that he will feel bad, and our relationship will be affected. Sincerely, he is a good man, and he motivates me a lot, but the pay is small compared to the new offer I got.
Both jobs are secured and safe.

Please, Advise me.
Which one should I go for and why?
Thank you.

No matter how good your boss or your co-workers are, they're not your family.

You're concerned your current boss will feel bad if you tell him you're leaving? There's no sentiments when it comes to survival my friend.
Take the better paying job and resign properly from your current place. It's that simple.

If you miss this opportunity, you'll hate yourself for it, and gradually that will begin to affect your job performance and motivation, and you might still end up getting sacked.

I was laughing because you're concerned about how they'll feel. Taking a better paying job should not be a source of guilt for you. Think about how many years it will take before your current salary will be increased to that 240k net you've been offered now.

There's no difference between the 2 jobs unless you want to move close to the island.

Just look at the prospect of the 2 jobs.Dont look at the pay.The 100k difference after transportation cost will still be next to nothing.
Just know that working on the island considering your location will involve more transportation risk,spending more on feeding and other expenses...

Thanks for this.

Make sure you do your due diligence on the island job before you accept it so that you won't end up regretting accepting the offer

We need to know where on the island and where you will be leaving from.

You can check if the new company have office (s) on the mainland.

The pay difference is much but if the one that pays less gives you the opportunity for growth and promotion, you can be with them..

The truth is working on the island can be stressful especially if you are not mobile
and you live on the mainland.(anywhere after Oshodi)
I will advise you shouldn't leave for now.

Okay..From idi araba to Lekki phase 1 is still okay then.
It means you have to be leaving home latest 5.30am every day if your resumption time is 8am.

Resumption is 9am
what do you think?

Resumption is 9pm.

9am is okay but you still have to leave home early

Go for the 330k own... Use the change on it to compensate for your daily stress. Please don't settle for less, this economy of today isn't smiling...

And as for what to tell your boss don't worry he would understand just tell him the offer you got...

Abeg 330 with or without accommodation

Though I reside in the island, I'll still choose that, street wise

330

The man should understand if he is truly a good man

Island

ok

if e no pay u Kuku come epe

My boy jumped on a well paying job on the Island few years ago but almost got depressed because of the stress involved in going to the Island from mainland daily especially having to wake up as early as 4am daily and returned home around 12am most days because of traffic.
Think it through before approaching your current boss.

The story is obviously poorly done clickbait

I refuse to believe a person is actually so stupid that they cannot describe the job they are doing outside of the salary

Maybe one Job is driver for 330k and the other is bank teller for 130k. Who knows? It says alot about our paucity of gray matter that this thread exists and that it is on fp.

I'm not even blinking
330k please.
Which kain question be this?
Your boss will not be this kind the day he decides to sack you. Sack yourself now)
