I just finished my NYSC this October, I graduated with a 2.1 and I'm also a chartered Accountant. I'm quite young as I'm just 21. I have been applying to different openings since my service year ended. However, I've reached the last stage with only just the bank with 'Stallion logo. I'm optimistic that I'll be called for Medicals. The big Four have largely not started recruitment.
The main thing is that I'm concerned about the work-life balance. I've a side hustle on the internet that makes me money upwards of 100k a month, but I need like 2-3 hrs a day on it. Also, my motivation to work is to build up my networking, communication and interpersonal skills as I'm quite lacking in those areas.

Bank job is actually very stressful (though depends on the department) but since you said you are just 21, then I will advise you to still pick up the bank job in case you are called... You will need it to build a network of career relationships that will help you tomorrow... However, make sure you give yourself a target of say "5 years" working in the bank and plan your exit properly otherwise you will end up "wasting" your youthful age enriching others and becoming useless to yourself later in life... Remember that your youthful stage is your useful stage.

Now back to the side hustle that pays you a little above 100k monthly, since I have given you my own secret, kindly share with me that business secret via: qualitysmile7@gmail.com or call me on 07056649003...Thanks for your timely reply.

lol... Sense will not kill this homosapien...

Op.... But KPMG dey advertise upanda na... I'm sure it's because they're understaffed kinda... Exit opportunity there is kinda high (as you get to go on fieldwork and all)... Except you've already done their once in a lifetime entry-level test.... But still, age is still very much on your side... Many people wish to have that kinda advantage... Nigeria is a country where you're almost completely finished if you graduate "late"... Especially if you have no connection.... Just keep applying to different opportunities you find... Don't limit yourself..



Now, about the side hustle

Depends on the unit , type(branch or HQ) or location . If its in lagos in marina,there is no where u can get get 2 to 3 hours on a weekday. If its a branch u can rent a house nearby

hmmm if its Stallion, if you get it, accept it first, when you get it, you will determine what and how to do. You are quite young and it could be a stepping stone to bigger stuff.

Good luck!

Guys, I appreciate all of your responses.
If I’m offered the bank job, I’ll take it. I’ll just have to push my self and optimize my time very well.
For those asking for the side hustle. I would have loved to put you guys through. But sadly, the method is dying. It has reached its peak and is now falling. It peaked around May of this year when I was making about $2000+ monthly. Now, I barely make 400. If you guys start now, you’ll be wasting your money
I’m looking at testing new waters for now. But that’s uncertain and you’ll need to invest at least 200-500$ which is very much for beginners

What you love doing cannot be stressful to you.
If you love banking, and not just doing it because there's no job, you will have fun and excel in it.
People who complain are people who do it just to earn salary not the love of it.

Quite a very young age, you still have the time to hunt for top jobs and also target the big four. KPMG GT is still on and you can do well to apply.

UBN is a great place to start a banking career and the work life balance is also great too, but you won't have that time you quoted up there except you want to run your side hustle in the night not at the workplace which runs from 8-5pm with an hour break for lunch.

If you are called by UBN, take up the offer and enjoy the ride, you will get to build up those skills you are lacking, get to build network and working there can/will serve as a platform for bigger offers.

It ain't a hell working in a bank if it is your dream job, it is stressful and demanding but you will enjoy it as long as it is your passion.

So take it up if called and enjoy the ride.

All the best.

Every bank's job has one level of stress of the other, the most important thing is how you manage your time and work smart. Getting 2-3 three hours a day should not the that very difficult if you can manage your time very well. Taking myself as an example, I worked in a department where I have to take up the job of over 5 staff due to downsizing. The job was overwhelming and I could not balance myself in the first 2 years until I review my vision and decided to create time for myself and professional development towards my vision. So today, I have completed many professional courses, further my formal education and still have more time for my family.

All you need to do is to be smart and efficient on your job, such that you have some time within the office time to check out your internet hustle. Get a good phone (high specifications above needed requirements for your hassles) to help in your internet things when in traffic. Seriously, since I came to Lagos, I never drive but use public buses so that I can have more time to further my line of career interest when in traffic. You will be surprised that you may have your 3 hours in the traffic. Remember never to sit close to the car window if you are to chose this option. Try as much as possible to close early, at least, for Union Bank no Supervisor will harass/force you to stay beyond 5pm if your have completed your work for the day but in case you cannot, use the time to your advantage. Just study your line supervisor and work you way around it.

It is good to note that you are a chartered accountant and around 21 years of age. You may not be deployed to finance, audit or related department if eventually you are successful. So I will advise you not to lose focus on your drive or let the "overwhelming workloads" distract you from developing yourself to position yourself for your dream career. So in summary, having a work-life balance depends on you and not the bank as far as Union bank is concerned.

May I request for a favour? For now, it seems I am having some hours to spare for this side hustle of yours. Can I have more information on it? Thank you.

Thanks for your input.

If you love it, then be ready to accept the challenge that comes with it as well as the bank you will be working with.

Cos despite your love for it, it is the type of system of the bank that either makes or mar you.

Simple solution.

Choose a back office department where you can work at your own pace.
Examples are INTERNAL CONTROL, REVENUE ASSURANCE, CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS, etc

The idea is to avoid working at the BRANCHES serving customers directly.

All the best.

Actually, I have applied to KPMG but have not gotten invitation for assessment test, I've written 2 tests in Deloitte but they've not gotten back to us. Thanks for the reassurance.

Thank you very much for sharing from your experience. As for the side hustle, it's in the declining phase. Getting into it now will just turn to be a waste.

Thank you, I'll put this to mind

For those asking about the side hustle. I just remembered that there was a thread I follow here on NL. It’s about domain flipping. You can go through the thread and digest the information, you should be making some cool cash in few months
