I recently passed out from the NYSC scheme. I served in Abuja.

I served in an online office, where I was receiving 30k as salary. The Job is time demanding, 6days a week. From 8am to 6pm everyday, some days it's to 7pm or even after 7. During my service year, some times I had to miss CDs because of work.
Now this is why I am asking this, service year just finished. We had to talk because it's a new term now, she moved the salary to 40k. She said that's for a starter and then I'll resume 7am to 6pm, and I know I'll stay up to 7pm some days.

I really thought the pay was going to be up to 50k for a start, well I'm not bothered about that. I'm concerned about the time. 7am to 6pm/7pm for 6days in a week. Plus the work is draining mental and physical power.


Plus I got a new apartment in Abuja just last month because I want to start a life here. Won't forget to add she helped me with 20k to add to my savings for the apartment which was on a high side.

I already told her I can't start coming 7 but she said to think about it and give her my decision tomorrow.

Thanks.

Unless if you have any better alternatives, its better to still stick to your current job..

Your boss was clever, that's why she commited for your rent.

Is the job wont allowed you to do any side hustle online?

There's no alternative now because I don't have the time to do any other thing, I've not been out my house if I'm not going to work. I don't communicate with the environment because I'm always inside the office, working online. About any side hustle, I hardly have time for my phone. Anytime I'm online chatting with my friends is at night.

Clearly I should be discussing lesser time with her but she's adding more time to the job.

Working for individual or companies online by helping them do some tasks.. It could be projects, research , copy paste jobs

Orangewall:

you can still be with her and keep searching for a better job

Hmmm... How much is your Accommodation ? Can your salary conveniently handle your expenses -considering 'Abuja?'

Since your present engagement is, primarily, an online-based job, why not consider Freelancing(as someone advised ) or any online-based venture?

At such, you could use office hours and resources (PC, data, etc) to run your side hustle.

I mean, does current job routine allow you 'squeeze' out, say 2 or 3 hours, daily, from your office hours? If yes, you can possibly make up to 30-50k handling petty online tasks, like writing. Master the art, and, soon, sack your boss.

Since u already have an Accomodation and there's nothing at hand for you right now.. Take the Job & manage till you get something better.

But don't forget to keep applying for better offer

orangewall,

Here is what I think: As a fresh graduate, you need work experience because that's what most good jobs ask for.

If what the company does is related to what you studied in school, accept the offer.

However, if there's no connection between the two, there is no point accepting that job because it will only tie you down in a way that you cannot attend graduate trainee interview.

Here's a condition attached to the second option: Quit if you made second class upper and above. Study your GMat well, and keep applying. You will definitely land a good job.

Finally, ignore anyone telling you about freelancing because your kinda job will not let you cope with it.
A freelancer, like myself, knows that freelancing is time-consuming. They are just saying what they heard or read.

In much as you don't have an alternative. There are some jobs that will drain you so much and there wouldn't be time for anything else, this is one of such job.

I will advice you quit, if it isn't related to your course of study.

SoNature:

and if it's a 2.2?

desmondDessi:

and if it's a 2.2?

Stay put, but not beyond one year.

You need to have post-NYSC work experience to get a good job.

The truth is, many companies don't consider 2.2 for graduate trainee positions.

So, you need that experience if this job is related to your course of study to get a better job.

You are still a fresh graduate, with no experience. You don't have the power to choose jobs, yet. This is Nigeria, the labour market is intensely competitive. Even if you resign now and have the time to apply for jobs, it's no guarantee that you will get the job because you're not the only one they would invite for interview. There's competition out there.

My advice for you is.

Set a deadline, say one or two years. With that you are resigning as an experienced person and better positioned to get another job.

But if you think you can't handle it anymore, please resign. There is only one life, you won't die.

Too many online..

Please share some links.
Also, for someone planning to relocate to Abuja, can y'all suggest an affordable area to get accommodation? With all the basic amenities: security, light, water, road, distance to town, etc.
By affordable, I mean, 500k and lower for 2 bedroom apartment...
I, too, just tendered my resignation from a draining job after 3yrs and I'm planning on relocating to Abuja.
