2 Key Factors That Determine Your Salary as a Graduate

Regardless of your course, your salary as an employee depends on two major factors:
1. Your location
2. Your level of experience

An experienced medical doctor who earns ₦300k in Lagos may earn ₦150k in some other states.

A Nurse who earns ₦150k in Lagos may earn ₦70k or less in other states.

This shows that where you work can significantly influence your income.

If you’re from a state where salaries are generally low, be strategic about your career decisions.

As you approach your final year, start planning ahead for your first job, location matters just as much as your qualification.
