Try to renegotiate your salary with the employers you are already working with to see if they can review it upwards. if they dont agree, i feel you should take the risk and go with the new startup

How does social media affect our lives?
Wake up in the morning.
Searching for the mobile.
Switch on the Internet.
Looking at status
Waiting for the notifications to appear.
That's how morning life starts nowadays.
WhatsApp

Why did he hide his last seen?

*frustrated*

Why didn't he reply fast when he was online? Is he talking to someone apart from me.

*frustrated*

The blue tick/ single tick problem.


Swipe left.

Swipe right.

No matches found.

Consider yourself ugly and feeling depressed.


Instagram
Everyone is beautiful.

Everyone is travelling.

Everyone is a model.

Everyone is living a luxurious life.

Everyone is happy.

Overthink that you are the only one sad in the whole world.

Facebook
All of your Friends got married or engaged.
You can see their marriage pictures.
They are celebrating their first anniversary.
They post their babies pictures.
They uploaded their lovey dovey posed pictures.
You feel like you want to uninstall everything and go to himalayas.



Finally a hope in social media
Some people tried to turn it like other social media. But still this one gives some soul satisfaction, happiness and hope to the writers like me.

Anyways, hearing birds chirping sound is better than waiting for the notifications sound.

should I remove the 2 brackets or not

Cheeryfeet:

you failed and failed forward, good. But you never got up again or rather you have not gotten up yet. You simply went back to your comfort zone (Pwc). Just that this time with better pay and far better environment. And you may have lost the opportunity to build something great.

Mostly the heartless female MD's. They will use you do your job, others pples jobs, nag life out of you, looks for ways to reduce your salary, month end, dey will still not pay in time.

Only God will hammer them..

I relocated to the U.S. to start my career again after a short stint transitioning into a full-time entrepreneur, and the experience has been a lifetime experience. It was a fast-tripartite transition from a senior associate at PwC Nigeria to CEO and co-founder at Transtura to an experienced associate at PwC New York, all in one year.

We launched Transtura with a deep conviction that it was what my co-founders and I wanted. We saw a huge gap in the informal transportation value chain in Lagos State, and just like every entrepreneur, we wanted to do something about it. That is our configuration as entrepreneurs; we actively seek opportunities to solve problems.

We began to notice that the product would fail a few months after we launched, but luckily, we didn’t test the deepness of the water with both legs. The challenges were beyond what we could have foreseen. I did a SWOT analysis to identify weaknesses and threats before we launched, but I underestimated the severity of the threats in my analysis.

The challenges were enormous and unsurmountable, from NURTW to LASTMA, the Taskforce, and the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation. It was like everyone wanted us to fail for a reason best known to them. We suddenly realized that the NURTW is more powerful than we thought. Their unholy romance with the Lagos Government makes them believe they can get away with anything.

At a point, over 20% of our daily revenue was going to the NURTW, and we still couldn’t operate without unnecessary interruption. There were days our buses were impounded for hours with passengers inside, and we had to make huge payments before the buses were released. Not to mention the number of times our drivers were assaulted and our buses vandalized by faceless members of the union. The police couldn’t do anything after we made several reports on the incidents.

Nigerian leaders need to understand that Nigeria cannot become a prosperous country by making it impossible for young people who want to contribute to succeed. Those who told us we would fail were right, but I am happy we tried to succeed.

This post is not about giving excuses for a failed product but to encourage young people and entrepreneurs like myself who have failed to understand that there is nothing wrong in failing, especially if you fail forward.

After the not-too-good experience, I dusted my resume and started applying for roles in the Big 4 in the U.S. and I was fortunate to get an offer from PwC New York. The ability to get up from failure is the most defining attribute of every successful person.

As you start the new year, my encouragement to you is not to be afraid to start again. I challenge you to put those failures behind you and use them as a launchpad for your success. I dare you to dream again, and don’t allow your failures to be the reason you will never succeed.

I wonder how people seek advice for things like this online. You are the only one who knows what's best for you. Read up and know what your options are and gently make your decision.
