Help A Bro Decide On A Job Offer by Nobody: 7:35am On Sep 12, 2015
I teach in a school where I earn around 30k monthly, last week I got a job offer from a small micro finance bank. I went through the letter, the renumeration is 50k, 20% of which would be based on my performance for the month, please I'd like to have your opinion considering if I should take the job, but please consider the following points.

-the job description wasn't stated in the letter, so I don't know what I'd be doing in the mfb (I don't know if I'd be sent into the market)

- in the school I teach, all it takes for me to miss school (maybe to attend an interview or job test) is a phone call. the job is that flexible. but I know the mfb wouldn't give me such freedom.

- the mfb is a one man company with just one branch which is located inside a market.


so friends. if you were in my shoes what would u do? I want to build my career but I'm scared of signing myself into slavery.

thanks . I really appreciate. yes I want to lead a career, but I'm scared about enslaving myself. I'm about to start my msc (fulltime) which I know the mfb wouldn't give me the time to run. the teaching is very flexible. I once travelled for 3 days with just a phone call to the boss. that's how flexible it is. one other fear I have is that every effort I make to get to know my job description in the mfb yeilds nothing, as they keep saying they'd tell me when I resume .

on transportation, I'd spend more going to the mfb, nd the mfb requires cooperate dressing always, like a normal bank job, so I'd spend more on clothing.

I strongly advice you stay with the teaching,that bank job is marketing.
Moreover there is something they are not telling you about the job.
Bank job would tie u down,but if a bank job must tie one down it should definitely not be this type.
