IT Project Manager

 

80k a month, standard 13 months plus project bonuses

Full medical and dental (woohoo!) but no car plan (sucks).

 

Perks: Lots of training, you get to travel a lot, and meet lots of smart, interesting people. 

Cons: Long work hours and tough projects. The smart, interesting people you meet are mostly guys working for the competition, trying to put you out of a job.

 

let me guess pare. your company is one of the biggest IT company here in the country (if not the biggest and it starts with letter 'A', right?

 

good to hear it. because i am an incoming employee there myself.
