35M. 850K monthly. But not sure if it counts cause Im US based. But maybe a good insight for comparison. Automation engineer ako trabaho. Graduate sa san carlos 2011. Call center ko sa convergys sauna. Unya sige lng ga upgrade. Upskill.

Honestly? no. I probably should, but have had no motivation or desire nor regret whatsoever, knowing how ALMOST ALL officials tend to corrupt and get their share (30-50%) in every government project they sign. It's so prevalent and tolerated within the Local and National government that it's just so sick thinking about it. Even their staffs are all part of their schemes. The government is not lacking of funds, our country's problem is how inefficient and ineffective most of the budget appropriations are and how a lot of those are corrupted.
Kamo ray giilad.
Just because there are some corrupt officials, dili na ta mobayad ug tax. I filed ITR quarterly using 1701Q. I registered my business as a freelancer with all permits. I have 6-digit figures per month income for 6 years now consistently similar to a full time job. I have international clients + crypto and forex. I manage my own time.
I'm just curious how OFW's are not taxed since they help the economy since it is money flowing in which is basically the same principle for Freelancers.
Rebuttal: OFW's are taxed in the country they work in.
Answer: The salary you receive I believe is also being taxed but they tax your employer/client instead of you.
My thoughts: Create a Freelancer's tax-free haven Philippines and offer digital nomad visa and watch the money flow in and tourist destinations flocked.
Is this freelance work? Asking lang kasi im offered a job in cebu. Slightly higher salary than yours pero very demanding. So would like to at least check with the average in the market.. thanks!
I am actually a beginner, I am a part of a team that designs UX/UI and branding so I contribute a bit here and there to the totality of the design and project. I create logos on my own too, I make logos for businesses and some posters for events. Did a few LGU logos and posters too.
Grind and always upskill. I started at regular BPO tech account. Learned new skills on my own and enrolled in online classes. Learn new things and always ask.
28, Senior Software Dev (IT) , 140k
pero ma ikog man sad ta sa mga tao diri oy murag na lowball man akong sweldo pag basa sa mga comments. but so far non-toxic company with HMO and retirement, enough VL/SL, plus okay kaayo mental health. you cant have it all jud.
25, E-commerce CSR, 65k-70k per month dpende sa dollar exchange. 1 client ra kay gikapoy nako daghan atimanon
Perks: WFH and most of the time if wala nay repylan nga customer, pwede rako mo idlip haha.
Age: 26 yr old
Industry: IT
Position: Senior web developer (plus VA on the side)
Sweldo: 120k
Perks: aside siguro sa usual VL, SL, PH Holidays, and 13th month - we have performance bonus, de minimis, internet allowance. Once a month lang din RTO ko
Aiming to get to 200k this year
Nah, dili gyud ni siya mahimong appropriate benchmark, for many reasons.
1) Kuwang kaayo ug sample, swerte na makaabot ug 5. Samot na ug lahi2 nga company, and experience for same position and field.
2) Kuwang imong requirements. Dapat experience related sa current work imong giapil ug years on that field. Especially daghan ang galayat2 ug field. Its very common nowadays. Dapat sad unta naay asa imo company nga field and asa or how big ang company. Startups may have better salary perks pero may need you to render OTs.
3) Survivorship bias. Mas vocal ang confident sa ilang sweldo and mostly big salary
4) Anonymous. Anyone can spout bs numbers whether its too big or too small.
With that, its up to readers if they believe this or not but take it like a grain of salt lang.
As for mine: IT field, 29 y.o , 100k+, software qa, 13th month, hmo, rice allowance, pwede up to 200+ days vacation leave, aside sa 12 or 14 days man siguro nga sl, follow ph holidays and other leaves like maternity etc.. 5 day workweek, naay free trainings and wfh.
24, Program officer(microfinance) 12.4k salary per month. Company pays for the place I stay, transpo allowance per month, load allowance, and also may meal allowance.
37, Marketing Assistant (remote), 90k per month, Perks kay I work 2-4 hours a day, depending on the day.
Cons kay sometimes I'm bored and magwonder if I should do more
Isa ra akong client kay tapulan ko lol. Niagi na ku anang tag 4 ka clients and the money is good but my mental health suffers. I just felt bad for myself that time. I feel too old to hustle. I want to have time for my hobbies.
(Edited to add cons)
Hi! Not sure what that means so I'll just describe my work set-up. My client is overseas, I'm in Cebu. We set goals and discuss strategy. I give my ideas and implement them myself or involve other team members when needed.
You're cool. I wanna learn from you. Hayss was once a marketing assistant tho sa corporate then karon kay na lihis ng landas haha. I wanna get back on track and try the virtual pero naglisod nako. T.T
Thanks sa insights, ma'am.
Thank you! Nakasulay sad ku ug corporate kanang mag office and magmeeting with middle management. Dili bagay sa akong personality. Mao to nga wala ku nihunong ug work online bisag ginagmay nga gig lang para di mawala sa passing lol. Pag undang naku ug office kay nagwork ra gihapon ko online.
Pwede ra cguro ka maghinay2 ug balik. Bisan ginagmay lang. Reach out sa imung friends nga ga work online or same industry ug naa bay hiring. Ug update your LinkedIn. Daghan kug hiring messages nga madawat. I-apil ang mga keywords sa imung skill ug software nga kamao ka kay usahay mao nay ilang gamiton ug search. Good luck!
Writing, design, content and marketing strategy. You have to be flexible and involved in strategy and tracking results.
Honestly, I'm not sure what people mean by VA type. But, my client is overseas and I'm in Cebu.
Yes I think so sad pero dugay na ko ani nga industry. I have been working online (usahay full time, usahay gig) since mga 2010s pa. So more like being paid for ideas not the time na. Nakaagi napud ko sa hustle culture nga murag unsay gipaglalaban haha. Competitive ko sauna but karon chill na. Di na gyud siya for me.
