Okay.

My last question... Do you know how to cook?... Do you understand the business part of it, or you just trust everything to your workers? Do you understand what am talking about!
Yes I know everything about my recipes, I often go to the market myself. I had a training with several chef before opening the restaurant.

My first and last job was an IT guy for one unreasonable boss, now I earn online with survey and crypto
Surveys money is peanut money,infact waste of time and resources.

Agreed, it's even less than peanuts, only thing is I'm living comfortably off it and ignoring you, everyone is entitled to their opinion which is limited by what they know.

Teaching.
I was 21, fresh outta university.
On the second day the principal sent me to go buy chilled coke and eggroll. Emphasis on chilled. The next day I didn't show up.
Pay was about 20k.

Rules and regulation was longer than River Niger. On some days they dressed like penguins. Other days, pink, purple shirt...all with black skirt/trouser. I was young, but I knew staying in such job was disastrous.
lol, the dressed like penguin really got me laughing, I had to picture it mentally cheesy

I was already working in retail banking in Nigeria.

Came to the UK as a dependent of a skilled worker visa holder, so there were minimal restrictions to where I could work.

I applied to different jobs relating to finance and eventually got the bank job after the interviews.

P.S. I did work in care on a full-time role immediately I landed though, but switched to reduced hours when I got the banking job. I still work mental health care support on weekends or any time I like (less stressful, easy pay 🙂).

I don't know him or if he works in that role as he claims, but they do pay much more than that.

Alot especially when it comes to migrating out of Nigeria and getting a work in retail banking....

Certifications to acquire?
Do I need an MBA?

From you, I can even get referrals to boost my promotion in the bank, I guess u know how banking operates here in nigeria, especially as a Relationship Manager
