From traditional jobs to freelancing and entrepreneurship, we share what it really looks like to build a career here.You’ll hear us talk about: • Why we’d recommend securing a remote job before moving back • The reality: in Nigeria, who you know often matters more than what you know • Salary differences between Nigerian companies and international employers • Adjusting expectations: the kinds of jobs you may find yourself doing compared to the UK • The scale of opportunities created by Nigeria’s population and demand for services • Navigating labour laws, permits, business registration, and the challenges of hiring talent • The gaps in soft skills and what that means for building teams • The mental toll: imposter syndrome, pressure to succeed, and embracing Nigeria’s entrepreneurial spirit💡 Takeaway: Come prepared, stay flexible, and remember — success in Nigeria looks different, and that’s not a bad thing.✨ Haven’t listened to the earlier episodes?
