Working Abroad

**yebo** · October 10th, 2005 03:03 PM

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

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).
