Good day!

The answer to whether ₦80,000 is a good salary in Nigeria depends on various factors, including:

1. Location: The cost of living varies significantly across different cities and states in Nigeria. For example, ₦80,000 might be considered a decent salary in some rural areas, but it might not be enough to cover living expenses in major cities like Lagos or Abuja. THIS IS BECAUSE OF BILLS such phcn bills, water bills, Gas bills, feeding, Medical, transportation cost.

2. Industry and job role Salaries can differ greatly depending on the industry, job role, and level of experience. ₦80,000 might be a good starting salary for an entry-level position in some industries, but it might be considered low for more experienced professionals or those in high-demand fields.

3. Personal circumstances: Individual financial obligations, debt, and financial goals also play a significant role in determining whether ₦80,000 is a good salary.

To give you a better idea, here are some general guidelines on average salaries in Nigeria:

- Entry-level positions: ₦150,000 - ₦180,000 per month
- Mid-level positions: ₦280,000 - ₦350,000 per month
- Senior-level positions: ₦450,000 - ₦650,000 per month

Keep in mind that these are general estimates and can vary widely depending on the specific circumstances.

If in the end you reject the job, here's where you can get remote jobs in Nigeria.

Depends on a range of factors. If you're jobless, go ahead. But if you know you're doing something, don't take it.

Re: Is 80k In Naira A Good Salary? by jericco1(m):
It depends bro

Like most people have pointed, the state you stay matters

80k monthly for 12 months won’t even pay my rent.

It’s not easy whether you’re earning 80k or 800k

If it was, you wouldn’t ask. How many times have you seen threads open asking if 750K is a good salary? Now compare that with how many times threads are open asking if 15K, 30K and 60K are good salaries.
how much you dey earn or make from your personal business a month?

80k that can’t last 30m minutes in the hands of some people is what you’re asking if it’s good for the month.

Life is how you make it be for you
If you don’t want to be ambitious and intend settling for less, 30k is okay for the month as long as you don’t eat food

People are rejecting 500k per month jobs because they feel it’s an insult to them, here you’re considering 80k because you got nothing to offer or skill.

Some will argue for you to accept it first and look for something better, it’s very difficult to get a job while on a job except on referrals, but it’s possible. Don’t start what you won’t know that it’s past 8 months already
Lol.

Actually, the best time to search for jobs is when is employed. Searching while unemployed is harder and prone to rejections. Someone needs to garner experience from somewhere. OP should target six months of garnering experience relevant certifications and port away. Set a timeline when you will leave the job.

An experience is better than none.

If you are not doing anything, working experience is very important, never despised days of little beginning.

Take it pending the time you have your desired job

It's a good salary for now if you know how to plan yourself . I have a friend who who manages 65k for a month but I also suggest you try to look for other jobs with higher pay . But don't get too comfortable with it because with this economy you never know

This thread reminds me of a LinkedIn profile I came across recently. Dude started as a customer relations analyst at Heritage Bank spending less than eight months there before moving to KPMG where he spent almost three years then Coca-Cola at almost two years and now has stayed at McKinsey and Company for more than five years.

OP, you have to start from somewhere. The problem will be staying put aka stagnating in that somewhere.
