Highland job in lagos want to pay 100k. And me I'm looking to higher a sales rep in Ekiti far far, with payment as 40k... sales rep that requires no experience or whatsoever.

The fun fact is, as it is a vacancy for an attendant, many won't apply, bcus it's not a big mall or supermarket. And those big mall or supermarket won't even pay workers at most 30k. With extreme wrk and supervision....

I need to add that nothing comes easy. The easiest way to get stuck/stagnated as an accountant is to work with an organisation without structure which 98% of schools in Nigeria falls under as they are mostly one man/woman business.

Even if you don't get retained in the Multinational, that experience is enough for you to get into another multinational or a better company compared to a school.

As for the workload, I don't think there is any organisation without its distinctive workload if .ozm
you really want to work. One thing that can work for you in the multinational is that you will always be exposed to .productivity. So I wilzzzzzzzz. Z

. tools tL. make your work easier. With time, the workload won't cumbersome as it used to be. You just need to edit a previous powerpoint, plug in new numbers to an existing financial model, Use gemini or other AI tools to gather your thoughts and use your own words to make it your own intellectual property.

I feel like you should reject that offer... It will frustrate you

JoshTim:
It's not a do or die. And stop the slave mentality. We agreed on 200, now the letter carries 100k, dos this not beg for answers?

The best way to go about it is to call thEe HR and ask them.

Here is an AI response for you
It’s commendable that you’re thinking critically about this situation. Here’s an analysis and advice to guide your decision:


---

1. Evaluate the Offer Logically

From your explanation, the new job doesn’t seem financially sustainable.

Transport and Feeding: ₦1,700 daily for transport and ₦1,000 for feeding equals about ₦2,700/day. With a 22-working-day month, that’s ₦59,400 for transport and ₦22,000 for feeding—₦81,400 total.

Savings: ₦110,000 - ₦81,400 leaves just about ₦28,600, which doesn’t cover rent, utilities, or ICAN costs.
If the numbers don’t add up, accepting the job will likely strain you further.

2. Compare Current and New Jobs

Current Job: Hybrid work arrangement, similar pay but lower expenses due to fewer commuting days.

New Job: Office-based, higher daily costs, less flexibility, and the pay doesn’t align with your interview discussion.


Your current job seems more favorable, even if it’s temporary, as it allows you to save and manage other responsibilities.


---

3. ICAN and Long-Term Goals

Your goal to transition into auditing and complete ICAN is valid. A low-paying, full-time role may hinder this. Instead, you might consider:

Internships/Trainee Roles in Auditing Firms: While they may not pay much initially, they align with your goals and can boost your career in auditing.

Part-Time Roles: Look for roles with flexible hours to allow you to focus on ICAN and applications.

Certifications: Completing ICAN will make you more competitive for auditing roles. Prioritize roles that give you the flexibility to study.



---

4. Polite Rejection Letter

If you decide to reject the offer, do so professionally. Example:

> Dear [Hiring Manager's Name],
Thank you for offering me the position at [Company Name]. I appreciate the time and effort invested in considering my application.
After careful consideration, I have decided to decline the offer as the financial terms do not align with my current needs and responsibilities.
I am grateful for the opportunity to interview with your organization and hope we can connect again in the future under different circumstances.
Wishing you and your team continued success.
Best regards,
[Your Name]

5. Suggestions for Moving Forward

Network: Reach out to professionals in auditing on LinkedIn or ICAN forums. Express your interest in auditing trainee roles.

Apply Strategically: Focus on entry-level roles in auditing or finance that align with your career goals, even if they’re internships.

Freelance/Part-Time Work: To support yourself, consider freelancing or part-time jobs in finance while you pursue ICAN and audit opportunities.

Final Thoughts

Rejecting the offer seems like the right decision as it’s unsustainable financially and doesn’t align with your career goals. Continue applying for roles that offer a pathway into auditing while completing your ICAN program. Patience and perseverance will pay off.

I think you should politely explain your dilemma to them as reason why you find it difficult to accept the offer. They just might be considerate and shift ground. I like the fact that you know what you want and you are working towards it. Keep it up & best wishes.

The work is more for skilled workers. Pipe filters and argon welders take about 500k with other benefits. Scalfoldders, electricians, riggers and others take about 250k or more with other benefits. Bonny is a local government in rivers state. Crossing the sea to this place from porthacourt is about 1hr using speed boat

Psalmspsalms:
As God would have it, I came here for my NYSC since 2021, finished mid 2022. Started teaching and hoping to get a job soon. Got scammed of 350k I saved from teaching. It wasn't easy as bonny is really so so so expensive. A single room with just a toilet for the whole compound goes for as high as 160k and selfcon as high at 400 to 450k. As God would always have it, I just got a contract job of 300k monthly with money for weekly feeding, money for monthly medical, coastal bus for transportation and end ofñthe year bonus of 900k. Isn't God wonderful?
