Should I Take The Job Or Bid For A Higher Stipend? by dotun4luv(op): 8:20am On Jan 17, 2019
Please Nairalanders, I need a guide or suggestion in taking a decision.

I am about to get a job, in fact, I can say getting the job is 90% certain. But, the job offer is to place me on probation for a minimum of 3 months after which the company "MAY" decide to make me a permanent staff "IF" they see a turnover [positive] in the office I'm taking charge. However, upon deliberation with the company's representative, he said the company will provide all the logistics for the first three months for me such as what to do, where and when, provide transportation fee within or outside the state, provide an accommodation if there is a need to travel outside the state to represent the interest of the company. BUT, there will be not "SALARY" for the first 3 months.

However, the company is ready to give a STIPEND [according to the represent] of 40,000 naira per month for the period of 3 months after which we'll now sit down to deliberate on the salary if the company chooses to make it a permanent job. And if I don't like the state of the job, I can take a walk or remain a contract staff as the case may be.

Now, here is my question.

"If a company choose to pay a stipend of 40,000 Naira a month, what would the likely salary be?

Note: I have a side hustle that pays the bill.

Please Admin help me push this to the front page for experience personnel to see and help with reasonable answers.

it depends. from what you can see from the firm, the role, and how serious the representatives were towards your doing well, you can guess a high figure.

From the look of things, I think the company pays well. just be positive about it. take it and start. while at your best

Candid advise is to try get a rough estimate of what the company worth, that stipend in this current economy is more like nothing, NO Offense . My candid advice is, take the job and after the three months probation, the salary isn’t worth what u intend it will be, if your side hustle worth’s more than the salary, I think you should quit and intensify on your side hustle and am sure the hustle will pay.
