mas maraming company ang naghahanap ng leaders na may background sa entrepreneurship kasi mas prefer nila yung kabisado yung palakad at least hindi na sila mahihirapan mag train. Isang salita pa lang alam mo na. Dito sa amin ako nga ang general manager pero mga subordinate ko puro mokong di nila magrasp kung anong sinasabi ko. kailangan ko pa silang i train o di kaya kailangan pa nilang ma experience ang real world. At least ikaw kabisado mo na. Hanga nga ako sa iyo dahil ikaw lang ang gustong bumalik at magshare ng experience and skills mo sa isang company. Ako mas gusto ko mag sarili. You would be a great asset sa isang company in terms of sales and management kasi first hand mong naranasan na lahat yan at may contacts ka na kaagad sa malalaking supermarkets at kabisado mo na ang palakad. I do hope you succeed on your endeavor.

I find it interesting that salaries are openly discussed - it's pretty much a no-no in the US. It might have something to do with the fact that, within certain latitudes, any given job does not necessarily map to a "standard" salary rate across the board. There is a lot of "you get paid as much as you're capable of negotiatiing" that goes on. For example, you could be working with someone who has the exact same title as you, with the exact same roles and responsibilities, and you culd be making more (or a LOT more) than that guy simply because you ended up being a better negotiator. Also, salaries are typically quoted in per-annum as opposed to monthly rates. That being said, here's my input:

 

Company: can't publicly reveal for several reasons.

 

Job Title: Software Testing Manager.

 

Salary: around USD$14K / month, currently negotiating for a big raise or I jump ship to someone else.

 

Pros / Perqs / Benefits:

 

-Full Medical

-Full Dental

-Full Vision

-Disability/Life Insurance

-401K with 50% matching, to a maximum of 4% of the yearly salary per year

-20% yearly bonus (maximum, sliding based on corporate profits)

-Stock Options

-Stock Purchase Plan

-Retirement plan, 20% of yearly salary maximum

-Free health club membership

-Company-paid T1 line at the house

-Flex-time

-3 weeks vacation

-Telecommute as needed

-CommuterChecks, $70 / monthly

-Fully-stocked company kitchen (as in you don't have to pay for the stuff they provide)

-Semi-regular selection of free DVDs (you kind of get a grab box every so often)

-Company-paid wireless (phone) services

-Can get to request certain amount of tech items (laptops, cellphones, etc) yearly as long as I can show that they're used for testing specific stuff

 

Cons:

 

-Brutal working hours during releases

-Long daily hours otherwise

-Calls at odd hours (3am anyone?) are not uncommon

-Sometimes you have to deal with total harda**es

-and prima donna employees

-as well as prima donna executives

-Depending on the project, could involve a lot of travel (not the fun kind)

-Coffee could be better

-Stock Options provided are always a way to pay you LESS money upfront

-Not enough cute (available) girls at work :cry:

for all incoming graduates, the salary is not a specific number but a range. Different industries have different salary ranges for fresh graduates and for individuals with work experience. For the graduates, the best source of information is your school career counselor or your professors.

 

Also, negotiation is important specially for employees with great work experiences but for fresh graduates you simply do not have any leverage to negotiate.

 

My advice is to be patient specially for the fresh graduates. "Green" employees should work to earn your "stripes" in the workplace.

 

One way of "fast tracking" your career, if you really want to be an employee, is to take further studies after 3-5 years of working. This means getting a master's degree in the field you are interested in. But this will involve investing in yourself and it will require money. But it is money well spent.

I would also add that you shouldn't focus too much on getting a job in your "field." I don't know how it works there, but here in the US, most people aside from Professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, etc) typically do NOT end up working in fields that are directly related to their degrees.

 

I personally have a Psychology degree - nothing whatsoever to do with Software Testing, yet here I am.

 

Just be open to any opportunities that you can reasonably pursue.
