U do well Tripple-C,
I bliv most contribution favoured Govt inspite of the bumper GTB package,
I initially wanted a 2yrs banking career for the purpose among others, of paying my M.Sc in Engr.
this however did not work out. right now all my concentration is on Engr related.
Your "ONLY" choice is Govt
unless U wish for switch in career
@poster; forget about GTB Jumbo pay and go for government job where there is Job security, time and peace of mind. As an engineer, any career shift into banking may jeopardize your future career plan. You hardly see any one who leaves his/her profeessional career path for a banking that will tell you he/she is satified with it(Banking).
So you need a job that will give you time to develop your self into what you hope to become in the near future, probably a highly experienced and enterprised engineer. You may go for GTB job if you do not have any serious career plan before now. Leave the Banking Job for those that its meant for!
Money is not everything and likewise things are not the way we see them.
ONE GOOD QUESTION:
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE SAYING HE/SHE REGRETS EVER WORKING IN SAY AN OIL INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF HIS/HER CAREER PLAN?.
Lastly please remember to coomit your ways into God's hand and your plan shall be estabilished. (Proverb 3:6).
All the best.

If the govt job is not in engineering, go to GTB if the pay is really 171k, save ur out and either still aim for an engineering job within 2 years or go for ur masters!
PS I was in banking for 3 and a half years b4 switching to a good engineering company. Plus I saved my out and can still go for my masters. It's up to you. Keep Walking! (Johnnie Walker) All da best!
Being an elect engineering graduate with 2.1 and with necessary professional certifications like ccna,mcse en d likes,i'm +ve u can enter Gtbank as a Network administrator or a team member in one of their IT teams.
I think this is a science/engineering role which cud be a foundation in entring a reputable telecoms coy or a big IT/ISP firms as a professioner.think 2wice en act one my bruva.Hope this helps.
my dear i will sincerely advice u to opt for the govt work not just for experience but for security.
i currently have three friends civil engineers that came out with a 2.1 that were dropped out from the bank after abt two to three years of work.
excuse!! we are downsizing
so u can imagine how it feels. now they regret and look for the least civil engineering company where they can start all over from.
just forget the enticing pay and look ahead of u, like who u really want to become in five from now.
