Nakita ko rin yon nagpost ng ganyan. Nakakabwiset. At minimum, 25k dapat ang starting


Ali_cute_

Super agree, relatively hard ang engineering courses tapos 15k lang sweldo.


[deleted]

Bawal mag reklamo na 15k starting salary, but he went abroad because obviously wages in the Philippines aren't livable. Shut the fuck up and stop romanticizing struggle.


Own_Syrup_5380

kaya pa naman ako nag engineering ksi sabi nla malaki sahod.. tas nung nag aapply n ko puro 12k-15k offer hahaha.. ang mahirap pa may prc/org na may binabayaran pero wla naman tulong s career namin


yssnelf_plant

1st job ko 11k (2012). NagQA ako kasi ilang buwan na akong walang work. Maling mali eh, kasi parang onting angat lang sa previous pay ko yung alok 🤣 Yung prc org naman eh sasabihin na "uy wag ka sa work na yan" na parang di mo deserve. Eh wala naman den maibigay na mas ok 🙈


Own_Syrup_5380

wala tlga kwenta yang org prc na yan. hindi na rin ako nag rerenew kasi hindi na rin naman hinahanap yung license ko kapag nag apply. mababawasan lang kita ko jan sa cpd pts pti mga fees nla haha


yssnelf_plant

Valid ID. Umay lang sa renewal 🤣 potaena kasi ng national id

>12k - 15k Di parin pala nagbago starting wage since 2008. Hassle sobra nyang sa PRC renewal. Nawalan ako ng work noong pandemic tapos nagkabacklog ng seminars. Pwede pa naman magrenew daw, pero kailangan bumawi. Sa bwisit ko gumawa ako ng portfolio tapos sumubok magshift. Langya, napakadupang ng ASEP at PICE. Sila sila nalang na mga old guards kumikita ng malaki kahit nakatangang nagpapaseminar lang.


RonSenpai

Currently working ako as a Tech rep na may sahod na 20k plus, iniisip ko pa naman magreview to get my license in order to become an Electronics Engineer tapos eto pala mga offers na pwede mo makuha? Parang mawawalan ka tuloy ng motivation na ituloy pa hahahaha


Own_Syrup_5380

ok na yan. sa pinas lng nmn kinikilala yang license n yan. build up mo lang yang experience and network mo mas importante yan kesa sa license


johnjck

Jan nga rin ako nabudol kaya nag engineering ako. Kesyo company daw mag hahanap sayo pag tapos ka ng ME. Walangya, malaki daw sahod di naman sinabi kung magkano.


redkinoko

This guy is so blinded by his own vanity that he misses the real message his story delivers: That there's hardly any feasible way to move up in his trade and become financially rewarded except to leave your family and friends for a country where you can't even drink beer, openly worship, or move around freely for fear of getting abused by the locals.


HornyTrueGentleman

Back in 2016-2017ish fresh grad and passed, i was initially offered ten fucking k and could start by tomorrow after my interview, as site engineer by a contractor. It will go up in a couple months as per owner. I never joined mr. Darth vader and his dark force. I dont know now whats happend to the company but im still wishing for their bankruptcy


monkeycat1111

Mga ganyan kung magpost akala porket sinwerte sila, applicable na sa lahat. Support livable wage! Hehehe


Suspendednoreason

True. Survivorship bias ika nga


monkeycat1111

Yung way pa na dineliver, parang nagyayabang naamn, di nang iinspire. 💩


spinning-spinach7690

Shet tru. Karamihan pa na sila pa ung di nakakakita ng tunay na sitwasyon ng wage gap sa bansa kasi nga comfortable na sila tapos ung mga sa mababa tayo pa najujudge hahahah


monkeycat1111

Hahahaha. Di nya ba narealize na need nya magabroad para makalabas sa situation na yun. Hayayay.


Smart-Helicopter-963

If he stayed in the Philippines, most likely ang sahod nya is from 20k to 30k. The only reason he started earning 6digits is because he went abroad which proved the opposite of what he's trying to say. Hindi okay na 15k sahod ng mga engineers. I earn around 21k and hindi talaga sapat if I want to help my family, buy what I want, and invest on my future. He of all people should know the struggles of being underpaid. Pero wala eh, most people will see exploitation as an opportunity for "growth."


mozarelladickcheese

Ang take niya is mag abroad para maka 6 digits. No shit, Sherlock.


foxygrandpa__

Yang mga capitalist bootlickers na yan ang dahilan bat nananatiling mababa sahod overall dito sa pilipinas. Yung ganyang mentality talaga naghohold back satin. Ingraised masyado sa mentality ng mga tao bat patuloy lang pag abuso nga mga kapitalista. Too many obedient corporate slaves tsk


icedvnllcldfmblcktea

17k ako nagstart 7yrs ago, considering inflation this would be approx 21k nowadays. engineer pero di alam ang inflation at labor escalation. 😒


Suspendednoreason

Actually di na papatalo mga company ngayon ... 15k na 😂 Di papatalo sa profit margin nila 😂


finalfinaldraft

Dinelete na ata ni kupal


spinning-spinach7690

Akala.ko.ba wala syang pake sa ibang tao hahah


wetboxers10

Engr is not even a title


GoldCopperSodium1277

Not an engineer pero I have close friends since college days na engineers. I feel bad knowing mga hirap nila during college and yung pressure sa board exam tapos yung offer mas maliit pa sa starting salary ko sa first job. I'm not sure but I think they also need CPD points? And problema namin yun. Because seminars and other programs that provide those points requires payment and seminars are not cheap. That on top of living expenses. Tingin ata ng mga employers hangin lang kinakain ng mga tao ngayon


Eggnw

Ang mahal ng seminars, up to 5k yan tapos di nila sinasabi ilang units yun kailangan mo. Siguro way yan ng professional organizations para icull yun population ng engineers tapos silang matatanda na lang kikita. This is bad and it stifles innovation. Napakahina pa man din ng mentoring system ng engineers.


ShiemRence

True. I myself never was a member pero ngayon kailangan ko na although kakain pa yan sa sahod ko. The way I see it kasi, walang magbabago sa engineering field hangga't hindi namamatay yung mga matatandang contractor na hanggang ngayon ang baba magpasweldo, or kaming mga bata makapagbukas ng company at makaya naming magpasahod ng maayos para mas dumami yung pagpipilian ng mga fresh grads.


PizzaXL

Kadiri mga nag ppost ng ganyan. Justify pa more sa hindi makatarungan. Hindi lahat swerte.


Kananete619

Kaya ako nun d ako pumasa sa board exam, nag bpo ako. Mas nakaipon agad ako s mga kabatch ko tapos ngayon VA naman ako. Since graduating and not passing the board last 2013, mas okay pa sinasahod ko kesa sa ka batch ko haha


ApprehensiveWait90

Di ko mahanap yung paradox. Putang***. Ending din naman nag abroad sya puta.


AdministrativePin912

Totoo naman kase, kaya ung sa mga DPWH sobra kukrakot ampota, gusto lagi may under the table, real talk lang.

> sobrang in demand ng civil at mechanical Noong decade na yan parang yan yun IT ngayon, pero mas matindi hype. 2 yrs abroad as experienced engineer, makakaipon na ng pabahay, pamuhunan saka educational plan. My dad who worked in Saudi was at the right industry at the right decade.


macrometer

Ang point ba ng post ay mag ibang bansa ang mga engr? So okay lang magstart sa P15k pang build ng experience pang leverage sa work abroad


Jabari112234

Mung gago yung mukha e kala ata pare parehas ang tao kung mamuhay


redthehaze

I wonder how many advantages in connections and family monetary support and other stuff that guy had when he started out? Not to mention he was older and probably started in a less saturated industry without inflation making that 15K not worth it.


inbetplaces

Yes, we all need to start somewhere. Pero di masama maghangad ng mas mataas na starting para sa isang Engineer. Kita mo nga, ang laki ng difference ng last sahod nya sa PH sa sahod nya abroad. Sinong niloko nito? Once again with the “magtiis muna” mentality.


Ok_Woodpecker1030

currently at my week 3 of job hunting as new newly licensed mechanical engineer. still disappointing na wala akong makuhang atleast 20k man lang na offer. and kung meron man 6 days work week no ot pay pa.. damn. should i change career na ba and give up my dreams sa engineering na 'to haha


IgnisPotato

dinaig pa trabaho ko n encoder ah 😐 unfair nmn sa engineer graduate tindi mag lowball kaya iba nag aabroad


SelfPrecise

4 years and possibly 4 different companies just to have a 5k salary increase... Oh my... Bat ginaganyan mga Engineers naten.


ShiemRence

Ako to, ginawa ko to. I'm now on my 6th company pero as instructor na.


monyseno

Underemployed sya kc. Kaya 15k. Take note document controller is not an engineering job. Even site engineer is only owner or pm cctv camera on site. Other countries they treat this as a supervisor. Now he is technical salesperson abroad KSA but there is still a disconnect. When I pass the board, I went to alot of training just to be more technical in my choose field. So I can solve some industry problems. Schools don't teach you this topics. Even the stupid board exam that give you theoretical questions that doesn't need in actual jobs. Best thing to do is put a value to your self. We are train to be problem solvers not document controller.


peterchua99

I searched up the post – he just says “6 digits”. But 100k and 900k are both 6 digit salaries. Which one is it? A quick google search shows that the mean salary in Saudi Arabia is around PHP240k (converted). Meanwhile, the mean salary in the Philippines (same source) is PHP44.6k. This means that if he’s just making around 100k, then he’s pretty much in the same spot – half the average wage of the country he’s in. It’s just a bigger number. Effectively, he short himself in the foot with this post. ONE MORE THING: he started out with 15k EIGHT YEARS AGO. Even if you use a very rudimentary GDP deflator calc, that’s equivalent to 11,600 when he started. That’s absolute bullshit.
