Hi all,

Soon, I will be finishing my master's in economics at one of the decent schools in the west. I don't have any plans yet; however, I am desirous of working for any good company anywhere in the world, What counsel do you have for me? I can also do a PhD upon completion of my master's and make about 1600$ every month, But I think the industry is where I want to be,

What have your stories been, people? Those that returned to Naija, please share!

Haha. It went well. Got back to Nigeria and landed a job - 2 jobs specifically. Not so high paying, though, but okay by Naija standards. Think 300/month gross

Datz not bad at all


Did u secure d job b4 coming down or u came in to write d aptitude tests?






Letz kip dis btw us ...I av a strong feeling itz u on d oda thread.As sum1 who finished just a fraction shy of 1st class wit an offer for PhD,I believe u r good.I believe u can a high-paying job in naija.

I saw an advert sumtimes dis year from an intl' org (tink Ecowas...can't remember).They want an HR person and pay was I tink 500k per month.It's all abt information.
U're a very smart woman and I trust u'll weigh you' options and make d best decision.
Cheers!

hahaha. Really, not bad? Perhaps I've grown greedy over the years.

500k is good money in Naija. The thing is, the person whose story was pasted on the other side, the one you referring to, got such a job - got around 410k, 500k, 512k, all after the person had decided to accept the doctoral offer. Imagine. haha

Did you just grad and looking to enter naija?

No.

I have plans to take a foreign degree in future and the idea of staying permanently scares me.

I prefer working in naija and travelling to visit/holiday.

My plan is to get lil work experience here,apply for Msc there,work some years there and return an expat

I knw of sum1 who schooled there and worked for some time.He was hired by a bank in Nigeria in the investment department chopping millions as salary.In the end,it boils down to the strategic fit of the degree...how in demand it is.A lot of pple just travel to get a degree-even if itz in pure water manufacturing

What is this person's salary, if you know, and how long did they work abroad?

Greedy?!...u can say dat again
Man by nature is greedy

I envy the guy o!Thatz close to wat oil coys start most of their staff on.

Maybe he is more concerned wit imparting knowledge.Maybe he wants to lecture,do research and consult.

He might get a lady to marry there but the likelihood of her wanting to relocate to naija is low.

I believe he has had his fair share of girls/ladies so he shld av penned down one or two who tickle his fancy.

If they are btw 20 and 21 then chances of them waiting for him to complete the program wuld be higher.Cos anytin can happen and these girls can still av time to look else where if he fails to deliver on his promise

Seven digits per month (gross)

Had his first degree there so he was there for quite some time...returned to naija in his late 30's

He is in his early 40's now.
