My Salary Is Way Lower Than My Colleagues, I Am In Pains!! (please Advice) by Holybwoy: 3:46pm On Jan 03, 2019
Poverty issa bastard.. This is the first time I would be getting an offer above 100k. When the chinese HR called me on phone and said "You are the guy we want to work for us. we will be offering you 150k".. I quickly jumped at the offer because I earn 40k at my former place of work. When I was going through the interview process, they asked how much I earn at my current place of work, I said 180k for a graphics designer position.
So, when they offered me 150k, povertea don block my brain to negotiate further.
Today, upon resumption after complaining to my HR about salary deductions, he said it was a mistake. He then proceeded to show me my Salary profile. He thought I was looking at mine but I was scanning through my colleagues that we came in at the same time..
700k.. 600k.. 500k

I am in pains!!
I am not envying them.. i am just feeling stupid for not knowing my value.. they know theirs!! I won't make this same mistake..

If you work really hard, way above the 180k why not? Methinks you can ask for a review of your salary using your output as a means of negotiation...........

You're suffering from a mental condition called Osritis Cubivea. It is work induced. It happens when you state figures without giving it a detailed thought. You have the early symptoms. Now your auditory and optic nerves are undergoing fiscia prequems. It results in jisistula of the cranium. A common work condition that can be treated with antibiotics and antidepressants. A two weeks procedure will reduce the fifadore cranimonium, a part of the cranium that i just made up cos I don't know what the hell I just wrote

Hmmm .. You need to find a way to manage the situation because this will affect your productivity and subsequently get you sacked.

What you need to do is to perform more than the others and this will give you an edge for higher pay now or in the future.

It is interesting to hear a Chinese firm in Nigeria is paying N700k to a graphic designer?

I think you should relax and just make your mark before you drag them to the negotiation table

Even though you came in with your colleagues at the same time, are you guys on the same level? Are you guys doing the same job?

Calm down


That is why pay is confidential in most organizations. You don’t know what and what they have being through with or for organization. Some dropped a 300-500k job to come and work with them.

You don’t expect the same negotiation with u dt carry 40k come.


When you got the offer you believed you got a good deal and hammer ?

Just do your work and dnt complain for now.

Misbehave and you will go back to your 40k per month.

They gave you the opportunity, it is a big gamble to allow you with your in experience and lack of exposure .

Do you know how many years experience the others have ?


All of a sudden u don dey worth 500k from 40k grin

If you were, they won’t allow you leave where you were coming from. They would have offered you at least 200k to stay.

Use your upper

My 2 cents.

try and get a new job that will offer u anything above 150k with other boxes checked. Then you try to renegotiate with your current employer.

Took it right out of my mouth. What if your colleagues quoted a higher former salary or they have better profile than you? It's very rare seeing an employee leap from 40k to 600k IMO undecided
