1st job ko 2yrs ago 15-20k but now freelancer ako so hindi ko na sasabihin kung ilan. ;)

[Galactus]

First real job ko, 1994, 4,200 basic salary plus 700 transpo allowance. Which was the norm at the time, kasi PS Bank was offering me 4k/month (Trust Banking Dept).

But prior to that, I was attending a 2-week training sa isang money market firm, prior to becoming a Sales Rep. Parang Wall Street ang dating, kala ko ala-Gordon Gekko, in Armani suits kami. Navi-visualize ko na nga sarili ko nun sa trading floor: "Buy!" "Sell!"

Tapos, during our last training day, sinabi nung Manager namin: "Go find high net worth individuals (rich!) who are willing to invest a minimumof 100k, which can be lost in a few seconds!" Kasi nga forex trading.

Before 5pm that day itself, I filed my resignation.

according to a cousin of mine who was Etta Rosales' chief of staff, only 5% of the companies out there comply with DOLE and SSS regulations.

so yang 280/day minimum wage na yan? wala yan! yung 6 months employed, dapat regular ka na? wala yan! yung mandatory SSS matching contributions for employers (kahit sa mga tsimay ninyo)? wala yan!

that's one reason why Pinoys have a sucky "pwede na yan" mentality kasi (see the other thread). it's because they don't feel compensated enough, so they don't do enough work.

eto pa.. a lot of unscrupulous employers deduct the tax wirthheld, tapos hindi nila fino-forward sa BIR.

i guess all of the people on this site are car lovers or car users and therefore have cars or are planning to buy cars. that puts you in probably the top 5% of the population of this country, in terms of economic standing.

First job ko as fresh grad (7 years ago), offer sa akin was 8k++.

Younger sister ko, nasa call center, kaya mas mataas ang sweldo sa akin, tapos single pa. Recently ko lang nalampasan sahod niya, but even then, barya lang ang pagitan namin. Bumabawi na lang ako sa non-cash benefits. :D

Sir, totoo po ba ito? nagbalak akong mag-invest at mag-trade sa isang local forex broker mabuti naman at hindi ko tinuloy... kung pwede pa-pm (pwede din sa boards) nung forex company na pinasok mo para may heads-up. TIA...

Nauna ako ng isang taon sa iyo (1993). Good thing may mga ready clients na ako noon na mga high stake players na Chinese na wala yatang pakialam sa salitang "Loss". 12,000 ang allowance ko noon na talaga namang di ko napapansin dahil ang laki ng natatanggap kong commission na one time umabot ng 800+k sa isang buwan lang. Mind you, cash na ibibigay sa akin yon noon, na talaga namang nakakapanginig ng laman sa kapal. Dahil labas pasok lang ako araw-araw sa forex market walang pakiaalam kung matalo o manalo ang players dahil wala rin naman silang pakialam kung matalo sila. Then after almost a year, I suddenly quit, I'm tired of that kind of work, at walang patutunguhan ang buhay ko. My stint of 11 months yielded more than 7M, pero wala akong naipon o naipundar ni singkong duling o kahit isang bulok na kotse. Nagbenta na lang po ako ng pager, cellfone at cable subscription after that, at naging masaya ang buhay ko sa konting kita. Right now, I'm working in a foreign based company as their Philippine representative. Okay naman ang pasweldo, at may libreng travel kahit saan sa mundo at me libreng condo at kotse. Hindi kasing laki ng kinikita ko noong una akong nagtrabaho pero super saya naman. At di kinakabog ang dibdib tulad ng dati

nice post ^^

[nicolodeon]

He he he, I think mas nauna ako sa inyo. I started working back in 1987 (while I was still in college). My salary: P 1,200/month. In my first job after graduating was P 2,500.

*Trajano: good post. Halos pareho tayo. I quit my last job because hindi na ako masaya and I was already tired with that kind of work. I accepted a job that pays less but would give more fulfillment. Five years down the line, I don't regret my decision . I get to travel overseas and in the Philippines, meet new people, see a lot of exciting places and learn new things. Best of all, my clients pick up the tab everytime.

Very, very, very, very TRUE!!!

[ozcity]

sa panahon ngayon magkano ba talaga dapat ang suswelduhin mo per month para maka-survive??

[ILuvDetailing]

it all depends on your lifestyle. Are you married? Do you have your own house? How many kids do you have? Do you have a car? Do you commute? Ano mga luho mo? etc etc.

Is it true that AIM graduates get no less than P1 M a year in basic salary no matter how little he/she may have?

according to NSO, a family of 5 will needs around 16000/month to survive. spartan way of life na yan.

Naku, alam ko matagal nang sarado yung forex firm na yun...Eastern Vanguard Futures Commodities Merchants, Inc. Nasa 17/F ng FirstBank Bldg, tabi ng Peninsula Court, along Paseo de Roxas.

Back then, private forex trading was regulated by the MIFE, Manila Futures Intl Exchange, pero sarado na rin yun, kasi andami naging issue sa forex nun. A lot of people lost vast amounts of money, and since the sales reps were ill trained, hindi naexplain sa mga clients mabuti. Thank God I was out of the industry then.

I would advise na if you want to enter into money market (or spot currency trading), make sure the firm is a member of MART (Money Market Association).
