Is vowing to donate the first salary from a job to a specific charity, upon employment, impermissible because it is conditional and indicates ill manners with God?

Making vows (nazr) is disliked. However, if one makes a vow, they must fulfill it if it is an act of obedience, such as charity. Therefore, the questioner is obligated to give in charity the first salary she receives after starting the job.
