Topic: The Real Truth about Naija Banks Salaries!

Nna,
Dalu oo. God bless u.

tanks 4 dat

o yeah! that is pretty and old analysis... alot have happened since i first saw dat write up at this forum some 3months back...the truth is banking job these days is too stressful...for exampl the industry pay is put at 100k(if not less ) and u will work for a minimum of10hrs a day. for 24 wrkin days u are actually earning less than 500 naira per hr(#416.67)..becos an average banker is proud, they pretend to be happy even wen they are dying of he ridiculus and crazy target given them....like they say half bread is better than none.

i am not sayin it is a bad place to work ok? i mean peopl should stop exaggeratin bank pay it is a carrot and stick policy of remuneration they are using.pls if u are coming to the industry to work come with a mindset to "work and earn" money.

finally, it is still a better place to start struggling.... the gains come latter as u go higher. thanks


....partnership that works

Very good exposition. Since you are an insider, I would suggest you do another piece on banks business realtionship with their corporate custmomers, small and large.

Bros u did not say anything aout UBA?

i have read with passion about the banka dn its pay. the sector is trying, but it is incomparable with the oil sector. i work ther, expecially d multinational ones. among the first 5 profitable coy in this world are the oil coys with millions of profit. that should give u an insite into the oil industry. as a started u have the opportunity to tour the world for months, stay in world class hotels and have world class services. u are not paying a dime. u earn money in ur acct and u are out of the country, world class food is served u , i mean u are a king. u go to the rig offshore do some little work ther and u are paid again inaddition to ur basic salary. u arrive from ur flight and people are readdy to take care of u till u get to where u are going. u appear 4 work, work 4 2hrs and they say its tea break for 30mins, u works for another 2hrs and its lunch time, before u know what is happening is already 330 pm men are checking out to go home no stress, how many banks can try this.withur experience u are a don, a senior manager banker withany slight mistake can loose his job if his junior staff commit fraud. no security and work begging 4 customers all day come home very late, so oil sell and thats what sustains this world. as i talk to u amwriting from my hotel room in the states.

HI HOUSE
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT I SAY AGAIN I GOT THE WRITE UP FROM A FRIEND.
ITS NOT MY WRITE UP
ANYWAYS THAT EXPLAINED,I WONDER WHY EZENWABA WILL START HIS POST WITH WHAT CRAP OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT
WELL I THINK WE ARE HERE TO SHARE OPINIONS AND ENLIGHTEN ONE ANOTHER
IF THE FACTS IN A WRITE UP ARE NOT CORRECT THEN THERE ARE MORE DECENT AND ACCEPTABLE WAYS OF ENLIGHTENING THE HOUSE BETTER,DONT U THINK?
IN YOUR POST U STILL DID NOT TELL US ENTRY LEVEL FOR FIRST BANK.PLS EDUCATE US
AS FOR BRIGHTOLE,PLS GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.NOT ALL BANKS PAY LESS THAN 100K........GTBANK PAYS 176K ENTRY LEVEL.
TRUST ME,I KNOW

BANKING IS STRESSFUL
.NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
EVERYONE WANTS TO GET INTO THE OIL FIRMS
BUT HOW MANY OF US ARE THAT LUCKY?.......REALLY?
BESIDES BANKS ARE GIVING GRADUATES MORE OPPORTUNITIES THAN ANY OTHER SECTOR.
WOULD U RATHER SIT AT HOME THAN EARN EVEN IF IT IS 70K A MONTH.
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE BANK COMPLAIN ABT THE JOB,AND RIGHTLY SO,BUT HOW
MANY WILL RELISH THE THOT OF COMING TO WORK ONE DAY AND HIS BOSS TELLS HIM HIS
JOB'S BEEN GIVEN TO SOMEONEELSE BECAUSE THE BANK FELT THE STRESS ON HIM WAS TOO MUCH SO THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING HIM A FAVOR??!!!!
BANK JOBS ARE NOT THE ONLY STRESSFUL JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY
SOME PAY GRADUATES AS LOW AS 40K AND STILL WORK U TO THE BONES!!!
THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER
THE THING ABOUT BANK JOBS IS THAT U GIVE URSELF A TIME LIMIT AND MOVE ON
LETS ALL NOT FORGET A VERY IMPORTANT THING.SOME PEOPLE STUDIED ECONOMICS,FINANCE,ETC.
BANKING IS MORE OR LESS THEIR CAREER PATH
SOME ACTUALLY ENJOY BANKING.IS THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE?
PEOPLE MAKE ME LAFF WHEN THEY SAY BANKING IS ALL ABOUT MARKETING
THERE ARE SO MANY UNITS IN THE BANK
FINANCIAL CONTROL,TECHNOLOGY,INTERNAL AUDIT,COMMUNICATIONS UNIT,HUMAN RESOURCES,LEGAL,STRATEGY,ADMIN,RISK MANAGEMENT.....I CAN GO ON
SOME HAVE GONE ON TO BETTER JOBS WITH THE EXPERIENCE THEY GARNERED WORKING IN SOME OF THESE UNITS.
I HAVE FRIENDS WHO LOVE MARKETING COS THEY GET TO NETWORK,MEET NEW PEOPLE,WHEN THEY LEAVE THE BANK TO PURSUE THEIR BUSINESSES THEY TURN TO THESE PERSONS TO SUPPORT THEM
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD TRY AND MAKE THE BEST OF OUR SITUATION WHEREVER WE FIND OURSELVES.
SOMETIMES ITS EASIER TO COMPLAIN THAN IT IS TO COUNT OUR BLESSINGS
LIKE I SAY THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

This is a good piece. You are what you say you are. You know what you are talking about, and you put in some time for your research. Thanks.

DAT'S A NICE ONE KEEP IT UP!!!
