Mataas ba magpasweldo ang TELCO Company?

[jim]

I got a call kanina. One of their client a leading TELCO company is in need of a person like me (Oracle DBA). The lady is asking me if I'm interested and wants to know kung kelan ako available for interview. I'm kinda interested.

Anyone from a TELCO company here who can somewhat give me an idea kung anong klaseng package meron at kung magkano ang salary range ng isang IT person sa isang TELCO Company?

tanong mo kay silver_corolla. DBA ata sya ng Smart eh. hehehehehe.
i have friends in Globe, mga network engineers, mataas nga magpasweldo, pero usually at par with other companies din. ang binabayaran kasi dyan is yung position.

si mazdamazda tsaka si pajerokid, di ko lang alam kung IT related sila, pero ang lalaki din ng sweldo nyang mga yan (sa Sun naman sila...)

It depends on the kind of work they're gonna make you do. TELCOs usually have a higher compensation package for their employees in the revenue centers (sales & marketing, business development, carrier relations) since they are the lifeblood of the company's income. The basic package may appear low, but the commission schemes are really good. They also have quarterly bonuses and car plans.

Technical services are another matter. If you're assigned to IT, you'll get a fixed salary scheme plus the same bonuses as the other employees from support services are getting. The general rule here is that your income is a function of your rank.

generally malaki as compared with the electronics and semicon company...

kung sa smart, 20/21 month pay pa..

dati kasi nag-offer ang SMART sa akin (3 years ago). they were giving me a good package pero yung basic salary ko mas mababa sa present salary ko noon kaya di ko na rin ipinush! sana nga ok ito. sabi ni esmi puntahan ko raw kc sayang. tutal malaki yung hinihingi ko siguro di naman sila tatawag kung di nila kayang ibigay

[BlueBimmer]

hi bers,

5 years plus na po akong DBA. di naman po ako active in seeking new careers pero nagkakataon may tumatawag sa akin. Pass po muna ako sa project based and contractual positions. Thanks!!!!

[theveed]

Tignan mo nalang si pareng PK at M2 hehe... ang yayaman mga yan :D

If you don't mind me asking... How much ba ang running rate ng Oracle DBA sa Pinas? I just got an offer from my boss here in HK as we will be migrating to Oracle 11i.
Thanks!

[jim]

IceColdBeer,

Depende rin kc talaga sa company eh. From the three companies I've been with ang layo ng agwat sa basic salary although yung ibang perks halos pareho. pinakamababa na cguro dito sa Pinas ang 30k (basic) for an Oracle DBA with 4+ plus years of experience (please correct me kung mababa pa). But if you are a lead DBA at may staff of DBA's ka 50k basic might be the average :D

[1D4LV]

OT

para kay ICB, anything not less than 150k/mo is not enough.
eh ang yaman na nyan eh..... question is, give me the name of the company who will pay 150k/mo for a DBA and lilipat ako dun. hehehehe.

pare, uwi ka na lang dito at magtayo ng sariling consulting firm on Oracle.... sososyo ako sa iyo. hehehehe. samahan pa natin ng linux.

[badkuk]

take the exam, walang mawawala sa yo....um, well, maybe an afternoon's worth of time...

ang napapansin ko lang, kung maintenance or operational ung function -- not related to marketing or sales -- mas mababa ang ibibigay sa yo. The logic here is that you're not making money for the company. It may be a different story if you're into development. Pero since telco naman, tingin ko you can expect a little bit more than the industry standard.

btw, any certifications?

[ILuvDetailing]

Oracle DBAs OT question, where did you guys study Oracle? Di naman ata inooffer yan sa schools dito kasi sa sobrang mahal ng software na yan. So on job training ba? or what? thanks.

[IceColdBeer]

jim, thanks. Pang fall back lang in case uwi na ako dyan for good hehe.

HG, hindi naman :hiya: How I wish pwede na ako umuwi dyan pre. Hayyy when? when? when????

[boydapa]

oo nga saan nyo natutuhan yan? self study?

[BlueBimmer]

oracle for dummies?
