    hi guyz, pls dont you think a salary of 200,000 is asking for too much. I feel the range should be between 60000 and 120000.[color=beige]

    I think a salary btw 80000-170000 for an entry level graduate in acceptable depending on the org. since this will not stay at the amt.

    for me it all depends on the organisation,its services and how they cater for thier staffs. i would say 100,000 provided such an employee has the neccessary skills to back it up

    1. Calculate your rent
    2. Calculate your transport
    3.Calculate your 'dress for job cash'
    4. Calculate your fiance/fiancee, guy/wifey expenditure (varies)
    5.Calculate how much u want to send to your folks
    6.Calculate how much u want to give to your God
    7.Calculate the minimum u can live on
    There so u have a basic rudimentary figure, anything less is cutting ur fingers. Lets say this is like 50K...it may be small but bear with me.

    Now think of the value u can add to an organization and multiply that rudimentary figure by by a factor of b/w 1.5 and say 2. The basic implication of this is that as a fresh starter, u can improve performance by one and a half times so u should expect to get paid proportional to that....ur minimum should therefore b4 between 75k and 100k.
    But this is all good maths and good on paper, what if the company is willing to pay like 70K and no more.....u might have to 'humble yourself' and just start with that. Consider it as a step in ur journey. Besides its easier to ask for pay increase based on performance after u have started working than to be negotiating starting salary!!

    Re: What is a GOOD salary for a Fresh Graduate in Nigeria.

    hi everyone, i think it all depends on where u applied 2 and your worth, if its a multinational firm or in the 'oil companies' then 120 to 180k is not a bad start. however, if its a small private firm then btw 50 n 80 its not bad.

    it all depends on the kind of job n ur starting stage. goodluck

    Well, I took my time to read all your points, I must confess that everyone made good point. In Nigeria, we should not forget that their is no regulatory body hence anything you get with time just keep your eyes open, when the opportunity of a better pay arises with the experience you have gather while doing that 50-80k job you will be better off. I just left my HR office's before typing this in, I was offered aponitment with a 70K month take home,only for him to ask me to come see him in his office....can you guess what happen? He told me that he made a mistake, that the salary should be 65k, I was mad at first but then this is the only one I have. You must consider the transportation fare from your house to the office, your rent,feeding (lunch if your company is like mine where lunch is not serve, but mama put...you know na) and the rest. Then you can take the job but be rest assured that others are waiting for you to make the mistake so that they can jump at a lower than your demand salary.
    Good luck
    Leave a good mark on the sand of time
