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).

Is 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.

For your reference, in case you bump in another offer again smile.gif

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.

Hossain at High Street is halal one. Ok for amex. Bombay too.

I'm being flexi, if I go to other restaurants, I'll opt for their seafood instead.

Hi. Just got an offer that salary is about 6k to 7k myr excluded tax. So this is the amount that I will be paid according to the company. Accommodation provided, food allowance provided, and I have driver to bring to work place. Annual leave 30 days. Is it worth to work there ? I'm worry about life in Philippines after all I've never been far from my family
