ngneer_hk Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yes Sir, I'm in Taiwan. Medyo mababa nga yun but good enough for a neophyte like me. Bawi na lang sa OT. Btw, we have service vehicle picking us up to and from the office. Kung may alam kang pwede lipatan, could you please post in here? oh taiwan..yep i heard medyo mababa nga bigayan dyan.if you're site based, transport to/from site is SOP. mahirap na ngayon. unlike before guys on a holiday from saudi, taiwan etc had a short stay in HK on their way to manila and while here tried their luck applying for jobs. they were lucky enough to be accepted and sponsored (for working visa) by huge firms...those were the days. ngayon wala na talaga. btw that's how i got here. tourist lang ako nun Quote Link to comment

chipmaker Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Wala sa skul yan, nasa abilidad! (But sometimes it adds...some foreigners prefer graduates from known universities/colleges and it includes MIT, based on my experience) this is so true. sa dating company ko, multinational semiconductor firm, kung sino pa yung mga galing UP at DLSU ang natatameme ng mga graduates ng province. pano kasi, sobrang resting on their laurels ang mga grads from manila. samantalang yung mga grads from the province, talagang makikita mo yung determination nila to succeed. those who want it more, gets the bacon.

chipmaker Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 advise to job seekers : apply at multinational companies... more benefits... but more pressures.... nothing is handed to you in a silver platter nowadays... additional tip: go for companies which have solid training programs. huwag nyo muna pansinin yung salary. the salary bumps will come later. remember, a lot of these people didn't have 6-digit salaries when they first started. also, over-excel in your first two years on the job. dun kayo makikita ng mga managers and will give them the confidence of giving you high visibility projects. make sure that whatever field you get into in your first job, is something which you love doing. mahirap palipat-lipat ng fields. if getting a job is hard enough, what more yung mag-move ka into a different field. good luck people. if you're interested in pursuing a career in semicon manufacturing, pm me and let's see if there's an opening for you in our (or my contacts) company.

chipmaker Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Disadvantage: In corporate world, the higher your position, the more pressure you will be receiving from top management. also, the higher your position, the closer you are to the door. a single mistake, no matter how small, may end your career in that company. lalo na kung targetted ka as magaling pero maangas, or kung palagi kang tinitira ng mga colleagues mong inggit sa yo! :grr: this is coming from personal experience.

chipmaker Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hey, what is the acceptable starting salary for each profession e.g. doctors. lawyers, engr. , accountant, etc... intel philippines: starting salary for recent college graduate program is P15 to 17k, depending on academic performance. may be slightly higher for MBA and MS grads. really good perk (but watch out...): stock options. you get around 300-400 options upon sign-in.

Is that right? :evil: you realize how little money means when you're on the verge of losing what matters most because of your pusuit of it....... but to lose your soul in the pusuit of sexual gratification is probably a fair trade...

dickyboy Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 harharhar! bakit nga ba ganun ang rep*tation ng mga lawyers? is it really that bad? frustration ng dad ko na hindi ako nag-pursue ng law career. pero now that i'm thinking about it, parang interesting nga. the "obscenely big" salary is the driver, i have to admit.... :boo: chipmaker, go for it! enroll ka na sa law school. you are never too old to start a legal career. saka ang sikreto dyan is to open up a practice in a medium sized city or town. konti lang kayo dami clients....ergo dami din fees. kaya lang yung iba mga gulay, manok at prutas ang kayang ibayad sa iyo. pero dapat ok lang yun.

DLSU partnered with FEU (or is it UE?) for a four year program which gives you an MBA and a law degree in the end. sounds interesting diba? the hitch is, you have to take the program on a fulltime basis. putcha... papano ko babayaran tuition nun?

igol ays Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 an engineering degree is not necessary, although certainly helpful. i'm in the internet side of our company. most of our network engineers have cisco certifications, either ccna, ccnp, or ccie. a 2 year AA degree in IT is oftentimes sufficient to get one's foot in the door (so to speak) with tech support type jobs. i don't have any certification myself, and my undergrad degree is in management. it just depends on the requirements for your initial job with the company. however, the saying that the cream rises to the top holds true in most situations, workforce included.
