QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Aug 6 2018, 05:40 PM) I am currently working in KL earning 7k and I was being offered 120k PHP for a role in Manila. I personally thinking it's way too low for me to move from KL to Philippines to have a 30% bump on Malaysia pay and planning to reject my offer (for a regional manager position). How abt allowance or accommodation? I often travel to Makati, food & rent price over there aren't joke. Research and take that into considerationIs there any experienced expat have any comments on this offer? I highly believed that I am getting low-balled by the company. Edit: I rejected the offer and they came back to me offering me 3800 USD 200k PHP. Got low-balled so hard initially. Still the new offer after tax the amount will be roughly 11k myr, I think I'll search again. |

QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Aug 9 2018, 06:31 PM) Nope, nothing included, not even tax. 200k PHP for everything. Lol, I've already rejected the offer. For your reference, in case you bump in another offer again A nice studio cost around 32k php per month. wifi 2k electricity 2k water normally less than 300 telco, I am using prepaid and charge 99php per weeks for 2gb data. so one month around 400 Food is the big challenge, if you are cost saving, food delivery cost you around 200 per meal. so 200 * 2* 30 = 12k. A good one cost you around 500php per meal. So minimum expenses, around 48.7k per months. (If you get people to share accommodation will significantly save 18k) Occasionally you want to reward yourself, fine dinning/ movie / other activities = 10k budget per months so wala, 60k gone. If you fly back frequently, more to pay. The rest will go to pay your commitment in MY. And you can expect to lose 2% during conversion. One more thing to notice, if your salary is fixed in PHP, php has depreciated 10% to MYR for the last 10 months i believe. So there is a risk of currency fluctuation too. |

QUOTE(you90 @ Sep 30 2018, 08:54 PM) pretty much depend on how u see the worthiness. Well firstly of course is the salary they offered. Haha. Secondly to explore other country and thirdly to know more people from other countries. what is ur main intention to relocate to Makati? as yourself this first. BPO for an online gaming industry, most likely ha? The company seems offer great package. But I'm still thinking. How long have you been working there ? |
