Working Abroad

[mazdamazda]

saan ba countries nga pala iyan ..baka naman..san da makmak ang bombahan doon araw araw..madami bansa hindi lang na rereport sa pinas pero puro war at gulo sa kalye

[BoEinG_747]

MM..

right sir mejo mahirap nga ....hehehe nag try din kasi ako

[mrpink]

well .. i find working abroad is different from living abroad .. i can work outside .. pero di ko kaya tumagal .. kahit mas malaki pa yung pera doon .. but try it out if you can .. the experience will be good .. sana lang eh bumalik ka ...

AFAIK, dont expect to get paid as much when you get sponsored by a company.

Sad but true..... yung 5K to 10K mo magiging 5K na lang pag sponsored ka. Tapos kailangan mo pa ng US experience para makakuha ka nga ng 5K.... akala yata nila di tayo marunong mag-ingles kaya naghahanap pa din ng US experience.

[qman]

Apply na

mas magiging bihasa ka sa rin sa line of work mo pagka lumabas ka lalo na kung sa multi corp o malaking kumpanya ka pupunta sa middle east, madalas kasi upgrade nila sa bagong sistema dahil malaki budget nila.

Makakarating karin ng Europe or America dahil karamihan ng training ng iyong linya doon din eh. Then stepping stone mo nayon

madami ngang SAP & well-paying jobs dito sa US pero ang hirap humanap ng H1B sponsor...i myself have been getting some calls pero when they learn i need sponsorship, they won't do it...having the skills is one thing pero getting sponsored is an entirely different ballgame...maybe it's because we're taking their jobs away from them?...

Pre ang tagal din naman kasi ang processing ng H1B yata. Saka mahigpit at ubos na kaagad ang cap di pa nag umpisa ang fiscal year. Sa year 2006 ubos na di pa nag umpisa ang Oct 2005.
I am an H1B myself pero I dont believe na im taking away their job from them, I am better than most US citizens with this skill according to my experience working with them.

Go for it.

[mazdamazda]

magkano ba ang kailangan na hingin na rates usually?

[IceColdBeer]

Five years ago, my cousin got a job in the US for 8K. He was working with San Miguel then as a SAP programmer. Siguro ngayon nasa 12K na yun.

[yebo]

tama yun sabi nila pag sponsored ka ng working visa sa US cut by half yung salary. nun nasa US ako pag sinabi ko na wala ako green card yung $45/hour na offer sa akin naging $24 na lang. may nag-offer pa ng $50/hour pag sabi ko na kung pwede nila ako sponsor ng visa naging $18/hour hahahaha! ala e mas malaki pa kita ko dine sa paghuhukay ng poso negro. tsaka mas gusto ko maraming free time kaya tyaga na lang ako sa job ko. isa pa tamad ako maglaba hehehehe!

[empy]

ang laking perwisyo kasi mag-sponsor ng work permit dito sa US eh. i've had to do it so many times and it was so painful that the company just decided to stop it altogether.

pero parang yung mga iba diyan ginagawang moneymaking scheme ang pagso-sponsor ah. kinakalahati ang sweldo??! sa amin parehong-pareho ang compensation ng US resident chaka work permit applicants.

[mazdamazda]

what I mean is... ummm...

how much is the cost of living there in the US?

for example, the US has a per capita income of around $40K. would this be MORE THAN enough for a single person like me?

thanks!

[flakez]

sabi ko na nga ba gusto kong matuto ng SAP e! san kaya pwede mag apply na may training ng sap. hehehe.

$40K is OK sa midwest pero kulang na kulang sa NY tri-state area or CA west coast.

mazda mazda.....you have to decide NOW if you want to work abroad.....habang wala ka pa asawa at anak =)

[airshaq20]

Its cheaper to live when there's at least more than one income. Being single in the US is "usually" more expensive (when you compute all expenses by number of heads) - plus tax is much more expensive when you're single. $40K a year may or may not be enough depending on where you live. The most expensive bills are rent/mortgage, cars, bunch of insurance (health, car, life, etc), food and gas bills. With that alone can rack up more than $40K a year. Average one bedroom rent per month typically is about $850-1000 on the low-end.

oo nga sir MM, mas maganda mag abroad ng single pa lang ....doon sa bansa na walang tax

[mazdamazda]

Thanks for the info guys.

I've decided to just stick in here in the Philippines... mukhang may pupuntahan naman ang trabaho ko dito (since maraming SAP consultants ang nag abroad na... hehehe).
