Interesting, may I know what the different requirements are to succeed in handling SMEs in comparison to a successful corporate career?

kung sweldo ang pag uusapan di lang big established companies ang kaya mag sweldo nang malaki

well-funded startups can also match big companies' pay

may equity pa

so if the startup makes it big that equity will translate to millions $$$

Yeah maraming galing sa company namin na lumipat sa Uber when they set up shop here. Although when we say startup, puro mga international startup naiisip ko.

Out of curiosity, what are the local startups that pay better than established multinationals?

So true! My Dad worked for a company owned by a Spanish Filipino family. He had so many benefits at department head level. He had a "staff house" near the plant, company cars, bonuses etc. Whenever they will get rid of stuff, mauna una na lang sa pagkuha (sofas, cabinets, tables, computers etc). LOL! I can go to my Dad's office and hang out there anytime too. You can NEVER do those in a multinational AFAIK.

I took my course specifically because I wanted to work with my Dad (my Dad took over my Lolo's position). Gusto ko kasi 24/7 kasama ko Daddy ko

He did not want because he wanted me to work in a multinational corporation

When I started working in a multinational I was so surprised how everything was so structured unlike what I was used to seeing growing up in my Dad's company.

Pareho pala department head Dad ko and crush

Alam ko rin very few local startups could pay better than MNCs.

The "smaller" international startup companies in the PH who could afford to match big MNC's salaries and benefits for employees would be those engaged in online betting and gaming.

yes foreign-based startups with Philippine operations should be able to match multinational salaries since they got lots of investor capital to burn

dunno salaries of filipino-founded/owned startups

but there are pinoy startups that have raised serious capital

Yeah they've been around for quite a while but they do have that startup vibe. I'm not updated with the company but I was surprised that their stock price dropped from a high of P15 two years ago to under 4 pesos today.

This new gig though isn't for a startup, just got curious about local startups since my impression is that it isn't at the same level as Silicon Valley startups yet.

Feeling ko mas malaki pa kita sa koprahan, quarry, etc kaysa sa local tech startups, or maybe that's just what's common here in the province.

Technically foreign startups like Uber are also multinationals being that they are present in multiple countries, so I tend to bunch them all up together.

Got an Uber offer a while back. They're also very active in campus recruitment and my friends who work there actively promote their openings on social media. They operate a lot like a true multinational in that sense.
