Got someone offered me too. USD1000 to go there. But the USD1000 I need to pay for room and dinner. Transport & lunch is covered though. I do not think it is a wise move for me eventhough I am not a home sick person. Is not justifiable for me to go to PH for only USD1000. Not to mention the contract bond that they offer too. It's at least 2 years & 6 months probation.

QUOTE(shazam7 @ Jan 27 2016, 11:21 AM) Wonder why ppl consider the Phils when SG is a much better option. Because not many SG companies want to take Malaysians as they have foreigner quota to maintain.1. Lots of companies hv their Asia Pac HQ in SG, so work is more hi value than the Phils which is call centre and low end support 2. Cultural fit with MY, similar language, food etc 3. Tax is lower. 4. Can take bus to hometown. No need take plane.  |

QUOTE(kawa_e @ Jan 28 2016, 12:22 PM) Was curious why all the sudden so many get offered a job lately in Phil with the same salary USD1000. Definitely not enough. I was careless for not counting in the tax deduction. Luckily I did not accept the offer. I guess for Malaysia it's at least to be USD1500 to consider the offer as the living cost isn't any lower than KL as well. Judging from all the feedback, it seems that working in Phil for a mere USD1000 isnt a worth with tax deduction (>30%) Can give it a try on SG companies if there's any before considering PH. |

QUOTE(knwong @ Jan 28 2016, 01:30 PM) Jobs in Phil are booming especially the call centres (they use the term BPO - business process outsourcing there). It has been a booming trend for the past few years already. The government there have studied before that with each call agent job created, it generates 3 additional support jobs in the country. 6-12million? That's MYR500k - MYR1million in conversion. You sure ah? O___oThe country is no oil producer, so with low crude oil pricing now - the operating cost in Phil is cheaper now Many expatriates are also attracted to go there with base 6mil - 12mil peso per annum + perks for accomodation, driver, schooling (for kids). |

QUOTE(knwong @ Jan 28 2016, 02:29 PM) Yes. You can search expatriate forum that discuss this. Always use USD for expatriate package. RM no value. Pls also deduct income tax for nett pay Wow, I am interested if there's such salary. But too bad I am in marketing related field. Even I able to converse in Mandarin, don't think can go that high. That's the salary for other field? |
