I'm working as an investigations officer for a bank here in makati...

Confidential daw ang salary hehehe, pero I can say its in between 30-40k per month...

Ala masyado bonuses eh, un lang hehehe

You have a chance though, to go abroad. Some clients and other bank officers give you "gifts"

Downside lang nito sobra ang stress, sakit sa ulo mag-investigate, sasala ka pa ng customer complaints... monthly, quarterly, and annual reports.. may regular audit pa... grrr...

[xcholox]

So many good salaries here from posters (I assume most are Filipinos) working abroad. I salute you all, I grew up with a dad who worked in another country that gave us the financial capacity to live comfortably in exchange for being away for most of the last 24 years.

 

I want to share my income information since I wish to encourage hardworking professionals that there are great opportunities to make money in the Philippines for honest and hardworking individuals. (Just keep the two traits in mind since I believe that this got me the role and none of that "who you now" crap that so many Filipinos believe in).

 

Some relevant info about me:

 

Call Center Exec

 

PROS:

 

Annual salary: Php 2.4M (rough estimate) + bonuses (equal to 10-15% of annual)

Working for one of the worlds most recognizable brand (so I always get a wow when I give my business card)

Open minded industry who does not discrimnate age as long as your accomplishment speaks for yourself (I got into my role at 26 y/o and I'm now 29)

10 mins drive from home to work (though this may be a PRO of my address rather than my office)

 

CONS:

 

Being a decision maker for a big company, "everything is always your fault"

Long hours (10-12 hrs) and should be ready to respond to emergency needs (I had to take conference calls at the height of Ondoy)

Occassionaly, you have to be the bearer of bad news (e.g: firing people - not as fun as many would think...esp in the Phils)

My job: HR Professional based in the USA

Salary : US$ 45,000 per year

 

PROs: I live the American dream (or trying to live it). I have branded clothes, nice gadgets, cool car, great neighborhood

CONs: I earn dollars and SPEND dollars too. Housing is expensive here, plus you have to spend for the car, credit cards, etc.

 

The American Dream can sometimes be a nightmare. So those out there thinking that America is paved with gold, think twice.

 

PS.

 

CON: Mahal ang babae dito.

all my life I never or never will be able to stick to one job, just like my ancestors did with one job , like 30 to 45 years same job. I am forever thankful to my dad ( 35 years in a single job level IV manager) my lolo ( around 40 years in governement as a lawyer) MY aunt, my lola teacher all over 30 years. my siblings and me only one working as a UP researcher has been with them over 20 years....with me lucky if I get 5 years on the job.

 

1. Last job was security middle east. lasted about 4 years, so many perks and etc, it was unbelievable.

2. I had over 12 jobs in great companies both pinas and abroad. each job I learn and move on. save money do side business. GAMBLE my vice is the only thing preventing me to be a super millionaire.

3. I learned how to market myself so good that each interview I get, I always say, ' I am the best of the best', just hire me you'll see.

4. one day i'll retire and write a book about jobs for pinoys.

 

ONE JOB I DID NOT LIKE WAS BE ON THE STAFF OF A CONGRESSMAN. I SEE WHERE YOUR TAX MONEY IS BEING USED!!!!!! I LASTED LESS THAN A YEAR...LONG ENOUGH TO ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS AND VISAS TO TRAVEL ABROAD DIPLOMATICALLY!!!!!!

April 9 is a Philippine regular holiday, employees are entitled to receive their daily basic wage and Emergency Cost of Living Allowance (ECOLA) even if they did not report for work, provided that they are present or are on leave of absence with pay on the work day immediately preceding the holiday. If work was performed, you are entitled to double pay.
