5k for an entry role? LMAO wetin dey give una this kain mind

Forget all the fairytales you've heard here and on twitter. very very few people earn 5k monthly, even 3k monthly is a very very solid salary in 90% of the world and while you're try not to lowball yourself, you shouldn't go asking for an amount that make you sound ridiculous like you've never held a job before.

Realistically, 2k is a fair ask for an entry position depending on if its a company in a good country in the west, aside that, set your goals on 1k and 1.5k and work your way up with improving your skills and a resume.

My 2 cents

.
Thanks bro
It's a US company actually

DyingFetus:
HR will ask you questions that are as simple to answer like what projects you've worked on, your previous work experience etc.

Just try to make conversation with the HR person

Ok thanks

Mopolchi:
Normally, it is a tricky question for everyone. What I did to get mine: I did not give an exact amount but a range. But before I gave the range, I browse about what others doing the same job receive. If you lucky to hear from an insider too, it is smart to give a range. $5k is a bit much but it depends the company you are applying to. If its purely foreign, it is not much because of the inflation in the country and the company may not understand the company's economic terrain. But if its partly foreign and in this country, I will go for partly $3.5 to $4k.

Thanks bro

Just got my first remote job, I will be resuming on the 26th of this month... I am little bit nervous but I know I will fit in no time, though it's a new role in my career: Software Architect.

I have sent you a PM, I would like to connect with you.

How was the interview like?

englishmart:
The driver should thank his stars it didn’t happen in Lagos. Those abysmally jobless, lazy and entitled touts would have looted everything, including the vehicle parts with the collusion of Lastma.
Abuja always teaches Lagos how to be civil. I just hope that obiakpo demon called wike doesn’t turn Abuja to Oshodi

Them say E happen for Nasarawa, you de mention Abuja

Mopolchi:
I don't know the company your are interviewing for. But if your company is a popular one, try to know more about it by reading about it on its website or on nairaland. Learn the basics of what a software developer does and your past achievements in the role before. Be ready to tell us (them) about yourself. Salary expectations will be asked. Then, any question at the end, from your readings about them, you can ask them. The issue about working from home is meeting your targets with the whole 24 hours rather than 8 am to 5pm kind of hours to work with. Electricity is another challenge. Personal distraction is another problem.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. About the salary expectation... That question is usually tricky. How much is "fair'? The last time an HR asked me this question, he never replied me again after I told him my salary expectation. Is $5k/month too much? I just want to get every information right. Thanks in anticipation

8. Your Nigerian Internet Experience
Fiberone, 24/7 at 10Mbps , I have MTN as backup and Spectranet (expired) Internet is very fast for me.
9. Recommendations for those looking for Remote Jobs
LinkedIn, work on a small project and advertise on your github join a community. Study Algorithm and Data Structure, also build a small company and work on products, eventually someone will be intrested in your project if it has values. But for me coming up with Startup Ideas is hard for me, I only know how to come up with ideas for platforms or extending platforms and there is money there, but it takes alot of time to code.

EmekaA125:
Same Lagos that Tinupoo built. More of this to come until una get sense.

Had it been that mumu Pandora win,the flood for no happen abi?

Referred:
Meanwhile, this kind of attitude is not limited to women. It also happens in labour market and in business. If you can tell the recruiter what he wants to hear, there's possibility that you will get the job.

True!
Reason why many resumes don't get pass the first stage because they didn't lie enough. Even getting the job is not necessarily about being the best, but just add one or two lies you can defend. But that one no mean say make you no sabi anythin sha

membranus:
If you are this pessimistic about Nigeria, and never happy about anything concerning the country, then what are you still doing there? Please take a gander and gerrout of it.

Attack the message and not the messenger. Where has your optimism taken Nigeria to in 63 years? My realism has made me prepared my mind against every thing that will come up.
Whether you're optimism or not, it will dawn on you.

Nigeria will never go anywhere based on this current structure. In fact, we'll be once of the worst places on earth in 20 years if we continue operating this very system

garfield1:
Oga,the two threads came together.or are you telling us that he lied about all those places? Guy,those of us that have followed tinubu for ages know cardoso.forget am,the man is loaded

Your problem na understanding I swear.
Nobody is disputing the fact that he is or is not loaded. His biggest achievements are not in the financial or economic sectors. Him cv dry for a CBN Governor.

All those write up na wash.

More like Peter Obi.
Man is empty upstairs but somehow he knows how to Chun out dubious figures because he knows majority of our people get easily carried away by those kind of things

Simply put, Mr. Cardoso is not qualified to hold that position. Some of his deputy even look more qualified.

garfield1:
Look at his CV in the other thread

You no read wetin I write abi!??
His PR team abi government PR team have done justice to the resume.

I contacted a resume writing service to write my resume for me and even I didn't believe that was for me.

So forget

forgiveness:
What did Emefiele the seasoned economist do?

He looted billions like how this one is coming to do. And just like the case of Emefele that his dumb yeasterners are wailing witch-hunt, the next aboki president will come and handle this Cardoso man and you and your fellow ronu people will also cry witch hunt and the cycle continues.

Nothing good can come out of this dungeon until Nigeria is properly restructured and remodeled

Until then, let's keep fooling ourselves and pretending that we have a country

donbrowser:
You don't know Yemi Cardoso

.
Whether we know him or not, fact remains his resume is not impressive for a CBN Governor.

His only experience in the financial sector was as a commissioner and then Citibank blablabla. Where is Citibank today in the banking industry?

I don't care who occupies the office because nothing will reach me, but let's say it as it is.

He's an administrator, not an economist or financial expert

HenryTimes:
This cv look one kind.

Please, is there anybody with his actual cv?

Na the real cv be that
Any one weh you go later see na him PR team go run am..

Him cv no de impressive for CBN Governor. More like an entry level position CV.

But na 9ja we de, if your turn to chop reach, no stopping you by any bagger

emonis88:
All hail d jagaban, d aristocrat, but tomorrow we il also hail any sitting president for his appointments either good r bad o! But I ve a feeling that Nigerians go shout at d end of d day o! This man is setting up something o!

Wetin be the something? Talk am now make we hear.
I sha know say dollar cannot go back to 500/Naira..

See, Nigeria no fit better, whether na Chukuma, or Kunle, or Shehu ...

After reading this, I now know why people pay for resume writing service...

Notice how his course of study was not mentioned? Because Nigerians are expecting a seasoned economist or an experienced banker.


Alas, we got a public administration

Wetin concern me?

Nigeria no fit better, whether you believe it or not.

It is what it is

I think that Tinubu indeed graduated from the said school.

However, I think he submitted a forged o'level certificate in order to gain admission in the said school.. If not what is he hiding?

Even if it's a pass, you should be proud of your achievements

There's definitely something Tinubu is hiding

Just like Lauretta said about the Pandora thief, the entire NLC leadership needs to be arrested and prosecuted for inciting violence in the name of protest.

Eight months ago, subsidy needs to go because one lying, incompetent cretin deceived them that he could win an election. He eventually came third even with massive rigging against his opponents in his strong hold

All of a sudden, subsidy removal is now a problem

I swear I no know who foolish pass between that bald headed lying skunk or his deluded, followers

AGManuel:
News from a reliable source is saying employment status of NPOWER beneficiaries are been upgraded with higher stipends up to 50k.

.
Actually, news from a reliable source said we would be absorbed into the civil service.

RawwwBissshhhh!!!!

Yes, always.

Infact I hate social media, especially Twitter and Instagram. Too fake! I've never been on tiktok so I don't even know what it looks like beyond what I read online. People go on these platforms to seek some kind of validation about who or what they are.

I am on those two platforms currently just to broaden my job search. Once I get a job, I'm off.

As for Facebook, that one died a long time ago.

I like WhatsApp because you only get to connect with your real folks, not some random people forming woke.

Many don't know MohBad was from Ikere Ekiti in Ekiti State.
Rest easy MohBad.
