i used to work for Convergys. Pay was good, 16k ++ a month, enough money for me to spend since I was still 19, fresh out of college during that time.

 

Now I'm 24 and I now work as a real estate broker for my mother's brokerage.

 

Pay is very good.

I don't have a steady salary though; I do get to eat for free!

I get to meet a lot of new people, mostly foreign. Most of my clients come from ADB, WB, some from the embassy and other multi-national companies. I cater to the high end market, but can also help people with the lower budgets.

 

Most of my friends think I earn millions in a month. I may buy fake things from Greenhills and people still think that I bought the originals haha

 

I work on commissions, which pay about 3%-5% for a sale property and one month commission for a for lease property.

 

There are no holidays for me, I sometimes need to work 24-7. I may choose not to go to the office though since I don't have a steady salary.

Thus I can do my other sidelines, like: I sell brownies, cakes and other bakery products. Sell semi-precious and precious jewelry. Starting my own cleaning business and restaurant stall. and of course working part time in different real estate developers as a property consultant specifically part of their brokers division.

 

So if you need your property rented out or sold, or you need to rent or purchase a property... Please feel free to contact me.

1) multiply the foreign annual salary by the RP average GDP per capita, which is $1,640.

example. foreign salary is US$600,000 per year. so US$600,000 x US$1,640 = US$984,000.

 

correction, should be US$984,000,000.

 

except for that, the rest of computation is still correct.

 

and it makes total sense, i mean if i am earning Php77,000 a month, i could assume that of the 80M fillipinos, about 78M are earning less than me.

 

in the same way, if I am earning US$600,000 a year in US, I would belong in the top 3% of the pay strata, methinks, considering average salary is US$46,000 p.a.

previous job (from 2000 to 2003) - medical resident

 

salary - Php 7K a month

Let's see how you are valued globally. The process shall be reversed.

 

At Php7,000 a month x 13 you get Php91,000 p.a.

 

let's say you're working in London, where exchange rate right now is Php65:E1. so, 91,000/65

= E1400 p.a.

 

E1400 * 44693 (avg salary p.a. in UK in US$) = E62,570,200.

E62,579,200 / 1640 (avg salary p.a. in RP in US$) = E38,153.

 

So, that is your salary in UK per year. E38,153 !

 

To get monthly salary, just divide by 12 (not 13 as I don't think they have 13 month pay), so you are getting E3,180 per month. Not bad. Not bad at all.

The logic above is all rat poop! ragstoriches computations/comparison shown above do not make sense at all. One should consider the housing expenses between two places if one would like to make a realistic comparison. For example, you can't find a decent two bedroom apartment (with hot water and AC) for rent in Manila for less than 7,000 pesos per month (kulang na kulang pa ang sahod mo pambayad sa apartment pa lang kung 7,000 pesos lang ang kita mo sa isang buwan, paano na ang pagkain mo?). While in U.K., (even in London) you can easily find a decent two-bedroom (with hot water and AC) aparment for E500 per month.

 

ragstoriches, try to base your computations on minimum wages not the average salaries. I think the the minimum wage in the Philippines in 2009 is ~7,000 per month; in U.K. it is about E1170 per month.
