For a single person, I think ₦300,000 and above is okay.

Then for married peeps, ₦500,000 and above is ideal.
For you not everyone
Anytime less than 2.4m a month for me now is management.

For a family man to live a little bit comfortable, then the least monthly take home after deductions should be N1 million, that is N12 million annually.
A worker should be able to buy a tokunbo car and be able to build a small bungalow.

My salary is close to 400k, as it is now I have 40k remaining in my account. A good salary should start from 800k

Just because you don't know or haven't heard/seen doesn't mean no 1 earns that...

Many multinational companies pay that and above, it all depends on your position, financial institutions even pay that...

When I was earning 100k, I was praying to get a job of like 250k that I won't lack anything again.. now I am earning almost x 20 of that amount and I still get broke sometimes.

The morals of this is that human wants are insatiable. No amount of money cam be enough for you.
Stop saying no amount of money can be enough, the money isn't much and that's why it's not enough.

Re: What Would You Consider A Good Salary. by Divoc19(f): 8:58pm On Feb 02, 2025
A good salary is determined by life style.
Imagine living in a house of 1m when your salary is 150k

I might agree if you say from AGM - ED grade coupled with profit sharing and co

But any grade below that, they don't receive such amount as basic salary
I strongly disagree.

seems the emphasis is on monthly salary.

Profit sharing is not done monthly.

If you are talking about profit sharing, a GM gets up to 20M or more.

Come over to the oil and gas sector ir maritime sector then, you'll see those earning way more than that...
Entry level jobs in Shell, Chevron or Total make abt 5m monthly in salary and allowances depending on your job role. In Local oild companies, you can be sure of about 2m as entry level...

In the drilling sector, we have those we call Directional Drillers... For everyday they spend on the rig, the least of them is paid 300k to 500k daily. While the top ones can earn up to a thousand dollars daily.

Guess what, it takes at least 1 month to finish drilling a oil well... Some get to drill like 7 to 10 months in a year. Do the maths!!!

For field Engineers who we call LWD and MWD engineers, they make between 80k to 350k daily depending on their level and they spend a month on the rig before been crew changed.

Schlumberger is recruiting... Try to apply there and trust me, your salary can't be less than 1.7m for entry level. So, imagine those that have 10years experience in such field.
Entry level in chevron is 800k plus, not up to 900k. Your lunch and transport to you bus stop is secured.
I don't know where your 5m is coming from
