Hi,

I am currently working in the Financial sector earning about N430k and expecting upward increase to N550k plus in November 2022.

Since 2019, I have been trying to switch to HR. I have written CIPM and became an Associate Member. I am also running a Master's program in Unliag in Industrial and Labour Relations (HR). I currently have an opportunity to switch to HR consulting (entry level position with monthly net of about 240k) in one of the big 4.

I have tried to switch to HR as an Experienced hire in the past but I always get regret mails because of lack of HR experience.

I have plans to japa from the country by next year by God's grace and will love to have HR experience before I do but the pay is discouraging as I need to gather as much money as possible

Should I stick to my current job or pick the HR entry level job? What would you advise?

I spent years working in a bank. There is no job security in banking in Nigeria.

I am sure you know colleagues who were abruptly fired because the bank needs to shed off overload and stay in profit.

Keep your job at the bank and get all the necessary qualifications.

Go into HR but above all, if you are a young man, work hard and leave the country. Naira has lost value. Your 450k is less than 800 dollars.

Opportunities abound for professionals abroad depending on the country and if you are not lazy.

Get any western country port. That port takes you to 150 countries of the world with no visa. The world becomes your parish. You can move around and find opportunities.

Except a miracle happens in 2023 and we elect a good leader. Another 8 YEARS of APC will send Nigeria to dark ages.

People don't understand what bad leadership does.

Let me explain,

If you were 22 when Buhari took over, you will be 30 years when he is leaving office. If another useless leader takes over, that's another 8 years. you will be 38. Literally half of your life gone.

Good luck in your quest to succeed. I was in your shoe 12 years ago. Be determined, keep your hands clean and you will kiss poverty good bye.

Uhmmm...

My advice: Stay put in financial to ensure you gather as much money as possible for your japa quest. If the big 4 you are referring to are KPMG et al, then you can make the switch because of their global presence. Working in an organisation like that boost your chances of landing very good jobs outside Nigeria.

All the best!

Grilling vultures for 600 years won't make you earn that much.

I'll comment later and I'll try to make it very constructive

To me, as long as u desire to leave the country, u don't need to switch now, all u have to do is to save more money because of journey ahead of u.

Stay where you are now

Starting a new career now is too late for you here in Nigeria as u plan to gather funds to japa.. Your current pay now could easily allow you to save and do exploits abroad...no future in this country bro

You have to pick one based on your future projections.

You have to make a sacrifice based on what you want.

The choice is yours.

Everyone's Plan A should be how to leave this country for Atiku and Tinubu.

Plan B should be how to save enough to move.

Plan C should be how to switch career to where you can earn more, so you can conveniently relocate abroad.

So if you're on plan C, seek ways of achieving plan B. You if you're on plan B, seek ways of achieving plan A.

If Nigerians that are certified mentally okay are still campaigning for Atiku and Tinubu, I doubt if there's any hope left here.

Every decision must have their pros and cons. The ball is in your court, play it wisely.

It's brave to have carrier path but will you be able to embrace the challenge on the long run expecially when the going is strong?

What role are you in currently in Finance?

I will advice to Stay in the position you are in
Add strategy to your portfolio
Finance especially if you relocate to Canada is viable compared to HR as you will have to learn the local laws and regulations but finance all over is similar

You want your earnings to reduce drastically because you must work as HR?

The country you want to japa to finance jobs are not available there?

Hmmm

Please buy shuttle bus me i will take it on hire purchase
