depende kasi yan sa papasukan mong company. kung iyong company na papasukan mo ay hindi tinetreat ang IT as an asset, example most of the local companies in the Philippines magsisimula talaga sa mababa w/out or with punny benefits. Mababa = 8k to 10k gross.

Kung ang papasukan mo naman ay multinational company or isang R&D company na ang products ay tungkol sa technology, mababa na ang 25k for starters and you can demand up to 40k and higher depending on how you present yourself.

Meron naman multinational company na yeah ang starting pa lang ata nila ay 16k (plus lots of benefits - e.g. lots pf training; technical and soft skills, performance bonuses every quarter na pagkalaki laki talaga) pero in a few more years lalaki ang sahod mo kasi iyong mga ihahandle mong projects ay bigatin talaga.
