Career consultant @king_kriyl shared the man’s dilemma on TikTok after receiving the message in his DM.

In his message, the man explained that he has been granted a UK student visa and is set to start school there in September. However, he is also offered to work in Nigeria as a managing director with a monthly salary of N5 million.

“Pls I need your advice: “I have a UK student visa to resume by September this year and an employment letter to work here in Nigeria as an MD with a salary of 5m naira. Pls make me anonymous,” he quizzed.

The question has stirred many reactions online.

ayabasign opined: “Take 5m job monthly in Nigeria, save 2m monthly, study online if possible and run permanent residence from here.”

adeolaogunleye8 noted: “It depends on how secured the job is, if it is very very secured and you see yourself doing it for 10 years take the job.”

moyojerry1 penned: “What’s the reason behind the study? if a normal japa let her get 5m bse she can get so connection later but if she want to go back bse she want a cert.”
