I got two Job Offers, which should I choose? I'm Confused..... Advice Please!!!! by areyemi(m): 8:52am On Jan 01, 2016
First and foremost, I want to thank seun for this platform.

I finished my NYSC July 2nd last year and ever since then i've been on a lookout.

Just early this week I got two job offers one with a startup company offering to pay 55K and another with a bank as an HR personnel and i'm been offer roughly 75k, but i'm confused on which of this two offers to go for.

Owing to the news of hire and fire in the banking industry, i'm really skeptical on resuming work on Monday, 4th of january.

Please, I need your advise. Thanks and God bless.

Owing to the news of hire and fire in the banking industry,

This new year you're already wishing your self ill luck with this statement?? They hire and Fire alright but people are still working there years now and counting, so be positive.

What does the start up company do and whats your job role there??


Though I dislike bank work, I think the bank job is better not just because of the pay but the vast experience you will gain in that position.

Thank you. I'm not wishing myself ill luck, i'm just trying to weigh both options considering their advantages and disadvantages.

Human resources is very lucrative nowadays so I will say it is a better option.
Figure out how you will be able to get your CIPM in a year.
You wont stay on one spot forever so whats the fuss about getting hired and fired.

Only you can however make this choice depending on what the 55k job entails too.
How flexible it is, the proximity to your house amongst many others.

75k and 55k are expressly different. 20k is a lot in Lagos.
So the human resource is fine provided you are a goal getter and can get your CIPM ASAP (Weekend classes).

The world is not for the comforters or "comfortee". You have got to sacrifice sleep and solitude for greatness.

There are a host of things you can still learn in 2016. Great job for us all.

What is your career choice?

What's your course of study?

What is the start up company into?

What position are you being offered in the start up?

I would recommend the H.R job owing to the fact you would learn a lot and you are sure of your pay monthly cuz it's a bank.

Forget that talk about hire and Fire, you should be optimistic in wherever you find yourself.

But if d startup is in line with your career path, you can give it a shot if u are the "I must go along with my career choice".

But money is the main reason we all working. 20K difference in a year is 240k which you shouldn't let go just like that.

Happy new year.

I guess you're not married otherwise you wouldn't even be weighing both Jobs as there's a vast difference.

20,000 is NOT 2,000.

You didn't online the Initial Job descriptions/position like you did about the Banking Job.


Whatever it is, I think a Human Resource Personnel is a Bank is a better option as there's tendency of early promotion.

HR
Be sure that bank will definately train you and that will be part of you for ever.
Be sure that your monthly pay will not be dependent on a manager's/management's mode;
Be sure of meeting people of sound mind while you work and that will form your network of rising up even if you fall (God forbid);
Be sure of meeting people within the banking industry who will inturns have more to give in advise;
Be sure of your access to loan facilities;
Be sure of your promotion at least if your relevant;
Be sure thatz not your last career bustop.


After reading that, follow your mind and not my words. Goodluck

You didn't state your role in the start-up company, but I know HR role in a bank is a great working experience.

You'll meet people, and build a career from there. Yes, there's not much security about a bank job but nothing in life is free of risks.

So prayerfully make a choice bro!

Can people like you get serious for once and actually offer concrete advice? The young man is sharing true fears about certain hire-fire policies in banks and not wishing himself ill luck. The people who have been hired and fired are no different from him and might as well have discharged their duties as dutifully as they could. Of course, there are people still working there, but does that nullify the truth that some people were also hired and fired?

Aint nothing wrong in his question, and I see no reason why you should think he's willing himself ill luck when he is merely attempting to process a fear.

Sister you hit the nail on the head. What we have on nl is see students or unemployed graduates who have never worked in a Bank advising people against the bank.
Some even go as far as quoting figures as against what obtains in the industry. If it's a contract job, stick with the company, however hr is a good eneough role to give you relevant experience.

But which bank pays 75k tho.

I really don't understand why you are confused. If it were me, I'd go for the one with less pay and the likelihood of being fired. That's just me though. cool

Any of the job will be ideal but look at the prospect of growing a business such as the start-up company. The fulfillment is long term compared to banking job which is monotonous in nature. However, you can start with the banking job to gain managerial experience.
