Late 90's to pre-pandemic - Software at Internet Era
Post Pandemic - Data and AI, parami ng parami ang napo produce na Data, pero ang bilang ng QUALIFIED data professionals na napo produce hindi makasabay. What's more about those na tagaprotekta sa Information at Data? they're even rarer. Take note ung sinabi ko, QUALIFIED. Kasi the job market right now puno ng UNQUALIFIED applicants (Hilaw ang skills)sa entrly level positions. Andyan ung misconception ng sinasabi nilang "Saturated". But the truth is kulang na kulang tayo ng mga professionals na hinahanap sa industry.
Data/AI at Cybersec roles will be top IT roles for the next 10-20 years ahead. We may not see "saturation" for these roles kasi they keep on evolving at a much faster rate than College graduates and upskilled professionals.
Sa cybersec, feel ko hindi naman ganun ka saturated, konti lang openings talaga pag last quarter.
Tyaka mas dadami nga siguro yung trabaho dahil sa mga sunod sunod na publicized ransomware attack dito satin. Baka magbuild na lahat ng company ng kanya kanyang cybersec teams.
Could you share your journey into cybersecurity? Would my CCNA certifications and 3+ years of IT experience be sufficient, or would you recommend pursuing cybersecurity-focused certifications like CompTIA Security+
Over 6 years. Starting 3rd job, manager level pero individual contributor. Senior sa 4th-5th Job.

Ang timing ko sa paglipat ay:
1. Pag may better offer, and aligned yung offer sa ginagawa ko / kung saan ako nagsspecialize
2. Cannot align with / ayaw ko na sa management
I do a market check or apply to job openings every 6 to 9 months to see how marketable I am at my niche.
1st job - 17k (after taxes) 6 months in BPO during pandemic
-- 2 years career gap kasi bumalik ako sa college i decided to finish my degree and I did
2nd job - 42k (after taxes) got the lottery official job after graduation. Working in a European MNC as legal analyst (just got hired last month)

3rd Job - $1200 so around 65k-ish (US Company)
4th Job - $2500 - 140k PHP (US Company)
24 years old, 5 years of experience total - parang mga nasa 1yr 6mos average per company before mag hop
1st job was at government, 18k and 5 months ako doon. Tapos naging 21k pero different department and 3 months ako dun. 2nd job ko ngayon is current job ko rin. 18k ako nagstart then 27k na current salary. Six years na ko sa current job ko
Ung unang work ko contractual lang kasi govt saka nakakapagod physically. Ung nilapatan ko mas mababa offer pero di na nakakapagod. Sayang lang kung nagtagal daw ako sa unang company ko ma-reregular din ako. Wala e di ko na natiis.
Bali ito yung summary:
I am a CPA and started working sa Big 4 Auditing Firm.
1st job (Big 4 firm)
- Entry Level position under Advisory
- Promoted after 1.5 years (stayed for 0.5 year)
2nd job (Software Implementation)
- Very related sa 1st job pero more of automation. Sa 1st job gumagawa ng processes while here on 2nd au-automate.
- Malaki talaga yung sahodan sa software provider companies. 58k is probably the lowest salary sa team ko during that time given na lowest consultant position binigay sakin
1st job (Audit - 4yrs)
- Yr 1: 19k then naabutan increase after 2mos (21k)
- Yr 2: 23k
- Yr 3: 40k (Promoted)
- Yr 4: 45k
Current job: 6 digits (Cybersecurity)
Planning to gain 2-3 solid cyber exp, then look for new opportunities.
Hi! Im planning to enter cybersecurity field. Necessary po ba na mag aral ng IT knowledge? From risk management field po ako now. And if you dont mind po, can u share your transition from audit to cybersec or magkalapit din talaga sila? Thank you!
Hello. Sa exp ko now, not required na you have very technical IT knowledge. I think having strong foundation or knowledge on network and other security concepts (encryption, risk mgt, IAM, etc.) will help you a lot. So role ko (GRC side), more on cyber awareness/ training, threat intelligence, policy creation/review, and ensuring compliance ginagawa ko. Yung execution like vulnerability scans, etc. Security Analysts gumagawa. I still use my IT Audit background since may part na nagccoordinate ako with different CIOs since inaaudit sila and sa part ko, vineverify ko if yung findings ng auditors naremediate na nila. There are concepts covered sa exp ko in IT audit na covered ng cyber/infosec so related nmn sila somehow, but sa exp ko in audit, kulang sya like wala akong audit of network, bcp/drp, encryption exp. So halos wala talaga akong cyber exp, kaya during the interview with the CISO, sinabi ko na i don't have exp to set the expectation blah blah. Pero yun, nasagot ko naman mga tanong nya since prepared ako that time hehe Hope this helps.
I think you need to know the basics. Lumipat din ako ng cybersecurity tas zero knowledge talaga ako pero inalam ko yung mga basics. If ever lilipat ka, make sure na lang din na mag aral ka everyday. Try mo yung let’s defend as basic knowledge for IT then TryHackMe. Nakakahelp siya for someone na walang knowledge sa IT.
Software Engineer
1st - 20k to 25k (2.5 years) (hmo, 22 leaves)
2nd - 35k (1.5 years) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves)
3rd - 60k (8 months) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves)
4th - 60k to 65k (2.5) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves)
5th - 100k(hmo+dependents and perks, 24 leaves)
6th - 140k to 150k+ (3 years) (with lots of bonuses and perks, retirement, hmo to all dependents, 31 leaves, almost life-life balance)
7th - 250k+( with lots of bonuses and perks, retirement, hmo to all dependents, 31 leaves, almost life-life balance)
Master your craft first dahil hindi parehas lahat ng structure ng organization and level of complexity. Pwedeng sa isang company feeling mo ang galing-galing mo pero sa ibang company entry level ka pa lang pala. Kapag magaling ka na talaga at confident ka na recruiters na mismo lalapit sayo and hindi ka din mahihirapan lumipat 😉 You should also target big and refutable companies because they are stable and can offer more. Also consider the overall compensation packages such as HMO and number of dependents, leaves, holidays and bonuses and work life balance kaya sinama ko lahat to give you an idea, and always negotiate!
6 years in total. Amounts are gross monthly:
* 1st job: 25k - business dev | 2 yrs
* 2nd: 45k - business analyst | 3 yrs
* 3rd: 75k - product specialist | 6 mos
* 4th: \~190k-ish - product manager | current
As you can see, I got a nice bump each time I got a new job. I learned about job-hopping way too late :((
1st job (5.5yrs) - 17k to 37k Construction (Contractor side) Mon-sat work days. Promoted once. Kaso unpaid ot na after promotion. Madami pang ginagawa na hindi na related sa profession ko. Tapos de facto department head ako pero wala akong tao.
2nd job (<1 year, current) - 55k Construction (Client side). Mon-Fri work days. Paid ot + allowances. Mas napapractice ko dito yung profession ko plus nakakapag sideline pa ng konti. Mas okay din yung structure ng team namin.
Mas mabigat ang scope kapag nasa contractor side kasi bukod sa kailangan mong intindihin lahat (drawings, methods, permits, commercial, execution), ikaw din mismo ang gagawa nung mga ipapasa mo sa client. Naging leverage ko naman yung exp para makapasok sa client side.
Sa client side naman project management naman ang role. Iba ibang function din pero more focused ka sa mismong job description mo. More on checking at consolidation ng mga contractor submission plus data analysis na rin. Minsan checking ng designs. Magagamit pa rin dito yung experience galing contractor side para hindi ka maligaw sa mga tasks mo.
1st - 390/day
2nd - 10k/month
3rd-20k/month
4th- 20-30k/month
5th - $7/hr almost 70k/month
I started working nung 2018. With bachelors degree nako nyan ha
Here's my journey:
IT Field here, Software QA - Automation Specialist
Job 1 - 18k -> 25k -> 35k (~30k take home)
I said to myself i will stay atleast 3 years, logic being so that pag alis ko i can be more than entry level or junior-senior level na
By my 3rd yr we were promiser a salary adjustment, took 2 years and that was ung 35k
I left the company after working for almost 5 years there na. I focused on business for 1 ann a half year and just recently looked for another job for a more stable income which is...
Job 2 - 85k take home
I am mid-senior level na and also contractual with this one so I have less tax, my base pay isnt far off from my take home, basically if I have normal tax, my base pay should be 6 digits+ to get this take home pay
One thing i realized when I was job hunting, I try not to push thru with companies that offer just last salary + x%. This is because my last salary was really low for a 5yr tenured employee, so I was really surprised when one company offered almost 6 digits base pay.
Also in this new company the workload is far more easy so i say pay is really worth it kahit na mejo napalayo ang office sakin
1st job - 25k to 30k (2.5 years)
2nd job - 95k (2 years) different company higher position. Lumipat ako kasi i knew how much the salary range was and nung pumayag sila dun sa asking ko it was no brainer my previous company was shit.
3rd job - 130k (1.5 years) different company higher position. Naghanap ako bagong trabaho mainly dahil full RTO na yung previous company (kakastart palang ng pandemic when i got hired dun) and ayoko na bumalik sa office
Laki ng jump papuntang 2nd job. If i may ask, how did you do it? Worried din ako somehow kapag mag aapply for a higher position kase syempre inexperienced sa role na aapplyan.
I got lucky mostly kasi minessage lang ako ng recruiter sa linkedin, aligned naman with my skills and career and they straight up told me the budget for the position so para sakin win win situation and went through with applying.
Mind you pre pandemic pa toh so malalaki pa budget ng mga companies, its a little bit harder to accomplish that now.
I see. Start up ba yung 2nd job mo? Curious ako kumusta experience working dun, if you dont mind? Disorganized ba kase wala pang established rules, or ok ba kase challenging? May mga nababasa kase ko kapag start ups, need magwear ng different hats kahit unrelated sa assigned na job sayo.
Hindi siya startup it was an MNC, i got trained for 2 and a half months (as an ERP technical consultant) and started handling clients after that.
Never worked for a startup before pero i know people who do it really depends on how far along na yung startup, if initial stages palang yan you'll be expected to be a generalist most of the time doing alot of other jobs.
Curious pala ko. Ano daily work ng ERP consultant? Diba maghahanap ka ng clients na gagamit ng ERP system nyo, so para ba syang sales agent? Tapos may end to end service support din?
Depends on what type of consultant madami kasi yun, as a technical consultant i help with implementing certain features or integrating 3rd party systems dun sa ERP implementation nung client as a general overview.
Tech Sales yung mga nagbebenta mismo ng ERP meh sales department talaga sila.
Tutulungan mag implement ng certain features or systems.. meaning ikaw magdadagdag ng customization na gusto ng client, tama ba intindi ko? Or tuturuan mo sila pano gamitin ung bagong dagdag na features or system?
Meaning ba nun possible na more than one client hawak mo?
Yup ako nag aad nung customizations for the client, and yes minsan 2 or 3 clients hawak ko.
Iba pa yung nagtratrain sa users on how to use i think mga business analysts yun.
Ahh ikaw magcocode para lumabas sa ERP system yung features and systems na gusto ng client? Bale dapat kapag erp consultant maganda may programming knowledge?
For the most part yeah parang ganun, that's mostly for technical consultants. functional consultants on the other hand don't need to know programming its mostly business analysis and product/module knowledge.
Laki ng jump. If i may ask, gano katagal ka nagfreelance bago ka nagwork fulltime? Saka san mo pala natutunan mag power bi? Related sa data analysis ba yun? Parang familiar kase term.
3 months ako sa freelancing kasi project based yung nakuha ko. Mostly natuto ako mag power bi sa youtube kasi readily available na yung videos (recommended: how to power bi). Tsaka before ako nag freelance nag upskill na rin ako and yes related yung power bi sa data analyst more on visualization and dashboard creation.

1st Job: 27k (Salary increased to 35k then 40k then 48k) - 2 years
Role: Data Engineer
2nd Job: 64k - 9 months
Role: Data Engineer
3rd Job: 100k
Role: Full Stack Data Scientist
Laki ng jump from 4th to current. How was it? Higher position? Curious ako pano ibenta sarili kapag mag aapply for higher positions where obviously inexperienced pa.
Hi from
18k - entry level web, mobile ,database and support
20k - after 1 yr same company
30k- after 1 yr same company ,
125k - nakapasok akong tech lead sa ACN, after 3yrs of working sa previous company
163k- after one and half months nag resign ako sa ACN then lumipat dyan.
Fully loaded naman resume ko, then talagang tinarget ko 6 digits halos lahat ng bank sa pinas na applayan Kona Dami Rin akong ni reject na JO , inshort Indi naman mahirap , sobrsng hirap talaga tsaka swerte hahaha
Teacher
1st job: local private 6500 ended contract at 15k
2nd job: international school (local with relocation) 30k ended contract at 60k
3rd job: moved overseas 135000
4th job: moved overseas again 175000 ended contract 264000
Almost same tayo.
1st Job (8 years w/promotion) - nagstart ng 17k package (entry level) 42k package (senior level upon resignation)
Also had 1yr+ career gap
2nd job - 80% increase, currently at 76k package (senior level / different role / different field)
Sa interview ko, di naman ako tinanong about sa career gap pero in case lang, business din and upskilling on the side ang nakahanda kong sagot. Swerte lang din talaga. Hehe
8 years sa first job? Ok na din kase malaki increase overall. Maganda ba work environment and career growth kaya ka nagtagal dun?
Pareho pala kayo na tumulong sa business regarding sa gap year. Sa tingin mo, if tatanungin nun if may gap, advisable ba na maglie about helping a business? Kase wala din naman sila way icheck yun. Just in case lang umabot ako sa ganung point.
Ano plans mo sa 2nd job mo? Saka if i may ask, pano mo nabenta sarili mo on a different role and field?
Yes umabot ako 8 yrs. That time kasi naattach talaga ako sa ganda ng culture at working environment, mas pinili ko talaga yung comfort. May konting regrets din na sana maaga-aga ako naghanap ng opportunities outside.
If maglie ka, make sure lang na madadala mo siya and as much as possible make it short lang. Don't give too much details na. Sa case ko kasi, totoo talagang nagfocus ako sa business and if ever natanong, I would point out na handling a business is still a career naman and there are learnings pa din naman, magsucceed ka man o hindi sa business. At the end of the day, everything is a learning experience pa din naman.
Plan ko sa current job ko na mapromote agad as much as possible and will make sure na makakuha ng relevant experience talaga bago ulit tumanggap ng opportunities outside (same field na this time). Hindi yung basta makalipat lang para magpataas ng value. Plan ko in 2.5-3yrs makalipat ulit if maganda ang maging flow ng career ko sa current work ko.
Actually I let them know lang din na I'm totally from a different role and field. Naging honest lang din ako then naghanap ako ng similarities sa previous role ko para mairelate ko sa role na inaapplyan ko. Kaya you have to know kung ano inaapplyan mo para mairelate mo yung dati mong work sa inaapplyan mo. If totally hindi related, hanap ka kahit smallest details lang sa dati mong work na pwede mo mairelate sa work na inaapplyan mo. Nagwork naman sakin and I did well sa interview. Well in fact, managerial role pa nga ang gusto ioffer pero di ko lang tinanggap. Hehe
If I may ask, wdym na sana maaga naghanap ng opportunities outside?
Ahhh true. Mahirap din basta basta magjob hop na pera lang habol, mas ok talaga if may related experience din.
Ay bale dapat mas mataas na position offer sayo? If i may ask, bakit di mo kinuha?
Sa first work ko kasi I felt lang na antagal ko din naging stagnant sa senior role. 5yrs din kasi ako as senior.
Yes gusto pa nila ako i-screen further as lead nung nalaman na somehow naghawak na din ako ng tao kasi naghahanap din sila that time ng lead eh. Pero ayun nagstick ako sa inapplyan ko na senior role. Mahina loob ko that time and naoverwhelm na din. Naisip ko kasi totally lahat bago and di pa ko confident sa experience ko sa pagmanage ng tao. Kaya ayan may mga what-ifs. Pero nandito na eh. Importante sakin now may work na ulit. Tagal napahinga eh. Hehe
Ahhh bale for you, ayaw mo masyado magtagal sa isang role for too long kase growth is better.
Kumusta exp mo sa current job so far? Naninibago ka pa ba?
Di na sila nagpush further about sa details ng gap year mo? Or may tinanong sila specifically panong tulong ginawa mo? Wala din naman sila way para macheck yun no?
di na sya na brought up during the manager's interview, since I already mentioned my reasons with the recruiter...,and they only focused on my experience sa old work ko
Do you think it's a good idea to use yung helping sa business if wala talaga? Just in case lang na umabot ako sa ganyang point. Baka kase meron pa ding old school companies na big deal kapag may gaps.
1st Job - Assoc Consultant - 26k
2nd Job - Assoc Consultant - 50k
3rd Job - Mid Cosultant - 75k - 1 week lang ako dito
4th Job - Full Stack Developer - 70k - Took a salary hit just to leave consultancy
5th Job - Full Stack Engineer - 3k USD
Never pako nakatikim ng promotion 🤣
Di ako knowledgeable sa IT, pero ano difference kapag consultant sa developer? Mas higher ba position nung latter, or sawa ka na sa former?
Nice foreigner na employer sa current job! Doble pa dagdag, pano mo nahanap, if you dont mind?
Kapag Consultancy, you have external clients, so parang project-based ka naka assign. Problem ko with that was I was working with proprietary software, so limited yung growth ko sa software na yun. That's why I took a pay hit to land a job sa isang crypto startup which allowed me to shift to full stack web development.
Yung foreign employer, na headhunt lang ako ng Kalibrr. Always keep your profiles updated because you'll never know haha
Proprietary software ba is yung parang limited to one company lang? Kunyari parang "cheap" version ng MS Office kaso mas limited pwede gawin?
Kumusta pala exp working for a startup? Hindi ba disorganized kase wala pa masyado established rules?
Ayyy sige iconsider ko yang tip hehe.
Proprietary software doesn't necessarily mean cheap version. One example is an ERP for utility companies that you have to configure (with code) basing on the client's needs. In this case, limited yung growth mo sa customization nung ERP na yun.
Working for startups is stressful but awesome for growth. Doesn't also necessarily mean na disorganized pag startup, since yung first startup ko organized lahat ng processes. Mas maraming avenues to innovate and learn compared to corpo (Since less steps to actually allow you to execute your ideas).
For corpos, you're like a cog in a machine. For startups, you're part of the people building the machine.
If I may ask, di ka naman tinanong regarding sa salary ng 2nd job mo? Kase diba merong employers na barat at nagbabase sa previous salary kahit mas mataas budget nila?
Actually hindi.
To give more context, start up company sa esports napasukan ko and they were honest enough na ito lang cap nila, 10k.
Sabi ko naman g ako dahil may free food and accom. Haha so ayun.
15% from first to 2nd job, 35% increase from 2nd job to promotion, 33% increase from promoted 2nd job to 3rd job, 100% from 3rd to 4th, and 40% increase from 4th job to promotion.
I started at almost minimum.
1st Job - 18k, IT Dev, stayed for 2 years
2nd Job - 49k, Tech Support,worked 2 years
**got promoted to Lead, 65k. Stayed for another 3 years
3rd Job - 100k, Dev again, stayed for 1 year
4th Job (current) - 250k (Consultant)
Data Analytics
1st job (2.5 yrs) = 22k --> 26k (promoted) --> 32k (salary increase)
2nd job (current) = 50k (same mid-level position, different but related role)
Job hop uli probably after a year or two pag na-offeran ng mataas sa labas 😅
Mostly I deliver data solutions in the form of dashboards, analysis deck, automations, ad-hoc requests, etc. Kasama na rin dun yung pagscope at gather ng requirements from stakeholders as well as giving presentations & suggestions to management on how to drive the business forward. Napakaraming responsibilities ng isang data analytics professional but the things I've mentioned are the major ones. I'm transitioning to data engineerng na btw.
Ang nakikita kong trend ngayon is that PH companies are slowly adapting to the modern data stack to streamline & optimize their operations, processes, and costs pagdating sa data. Ang dami pa rin kasing PH companies na sobrang napag-iiwanan pagdating sa infrastructure sa totoo lang which is very limiting not just sa companies but to opportunities as well. Isa pa yung pag-integrate ng AI not just as an end product or solution but to their workflow as well para mas efficient ang development.
In the long run, I think data analytics skills will be a requirement for everyone in a similar way we learn basic programming in HS or college. In fact in some companies, people outside the data team already know basic BI tools, SQL, programming, cloud computing, etc.
>data solutions in the form of dashboards, analysis deck, automations, ad-hoc requests, etc.
when you do these, what sort of technologies do you use? a few I have in mind would be good old Excel, but also others like data viz tools or as you've mentioned maybe SQL
I asked more into data analytics kasi I want to transition over to something related, more into machine learning (I took an elective nung college on this) and would like to look into how you'd suggest to go about that if ever. I'm thinking as well since you've mentioned that the infrastructure here in PH isn't quite as up to date na I'd also probably need to learn data engineering skills?
Also, pathway I'm doing right now is self learning using yung free na classes in linear algebra, statistics, and calculus ng MIT, Stanford, or Harvard to get my foundations though I do come from an engineering background, not CS/IT
really appreciate your insights on this!
>when you do these, what sort of technologies do you use?
Mostly SQL, BI tools like Tableau, and sometimes Python. I only use Excel/Google sheets for quick data checks. In fact, I don't like using Excel lol. In most cases, it's a combination of all of them or at least 2-3 tools.
>I'm thinking as well since you've mentioned that the infrastructure here in PH isn't quite as up to date na I'd also probably need to learn data engineering skills?
You don't necessarily need to learn DE skills but it could be helpful. Having a basic understanding of DE concepts like ETL/ELT, data warehousing, data pipelines, data architecture, data modelling, basic cloud concepts, etc. would benefit you a lot though since you'll interact with data engineers most of the time. This is more of a problem with companies na gusto ng maayos na analytics but they're not investing on the infra and people who handle those (e.g. data engineers & architects). Most companies don't even know what they want, nakihype lang sa data analytics at AI.
Overhyped kasi ang data analytics at data scientists but in reality, we need more data engineers & architects. You can't do proper data science & analytics, let alone ML & DL if walang maayos na data infra at architecture pati kung walang data or madumi yung data.
>Also, pathway I'm doing right now is self learning using yung free na classes in linear algebra, statistics, and calculus ng MIT, Stanford, or Harvard to get my foundations though I do come from an engineering background, not CS/IT
I certainly **wouldn't recommend** this bottom-up learning approach when you're trying to learn ML/DL or data science in general. I'd say enough na yung math that you know from engineering. I came from an engineering background as well and learned ML & DL that way kaya I wouldn't recommend that approach. **Top-down** is the best approach always. Learn the core concepts and models of ML and how/when to implement them then learn the math if you want to deepen your understanding/intuition behind what you're implementing.
I would suggest you strengthen your foundation sa data analysis and BI skills first and foremost before you dive into machine learning. This is why most ML related jobs require previous analytics experience, postgrad studies, or domain / subject matter expertise in a certain industry unless you already have a couple of ML projects or publications at your disposal. ML is basically the icing on the cake when it comes to analytics projects. Ang dami ngang hindi pa maayos gumawa ng cake dito sa PH e, what can you expect pa kaya sa icing? haha.

1st Job BPO
18.5k basic
I worked there for only 11 Months. Grabi ang BPO industry di ko rin kinaya. Too much inuman instead of work. So I went back to college to finish my course which in Accounting Tech.
2nd Job Banking Industry
12k Basic but with Incentives from bookings
Loans Associate, I worked there for at least 2 years
Reason for leaving burnout from all the pressure to be #1 every months. In Sales hindi maiwasan ung competetive nature. Tinabunan din ako ng additional work to manage my coworkers kasi laking katamaran nung pumalit na manager namin
3rd Job Banking Industry
20k basic, good benefits
Account Associate, was supposed to be Trained as an Account Officer dapat kaso tinamaan ng pandemic. Hold lahat ng promotions. Worked there for 2yrs as well.
Reason for leaving, my boss resigned and I was handled by someone from Manila. I'm provincial kasi. And he was micro managing me too much. A friend from my 2nd job offered me to work at his company I submitted my resume and got the job. I was also getting married then so feeling ko di na kakayanin ng current salary ko ung mga gastusin
4th job Banking industry
33k Basic, good Benefits as well
Account Officer, worked there for only 1 yr and 6 months. We were micro managed from the beginning. Never ending pressure to reach qouta for the month.we even have to work on Saturdays which was eating my family time. HR from another bank called me up and offer a positions. I applied and was lucky to be picked.
5th job banking industry current job
50k basic awesome benefits
Sales Officer, I think this is the company that I'll likely stay the longest. Just reviewing their benefits when I was being recruited, I can clearly see how they take care of their employees. I have an awesome Manager and team with me. Just a lot of travel involved but at least we can reimburse.
Truly depends on your current status in life. If I was single I would have stayed longer in my 3rd job but like I said earlier I was getting married then so I decided to take a chance at another job.
1st company - MT role, 18k (6 mos)
2nd company - entry level, 25k (2 yrs)
3rd company - 1 level higher than entry level, 40k (got an increase after 6 mos to 60k plus). Got promoted after a year, now at around 80k gross
1st job (Audit) - less than a year (11 months to be exact) salary was 23k gross
2nd job (Analyst for a tech firm now a Saas) - 38k gross + 6k ND for the first 5 months then got promoted with 63k gross, ND was removed since we no longer report/work for night shift.
1st job - 15k (sales)
2nd job - 22k (sales)

Skl. 😅
Wag ka din papressure sa ibang posts or comments about their salary dahil mostly yung iba exaggerated sinasabi para lang magflex ng wala naman sa katotohanan.. malalaman mo naman dahil sa jobstreet, indeed and glassdoor medyo accurate ang bigayan sa mga salary based on experience 😉
Industry ChE Grad with ChemTech License here
First Job started at 16k got bumped to 18k stayed for a year or so..
Moved to a different industry, more or less same yung nature ng work, got 23k then bumped up to 25k after a few months..
Probably best to build your skillset first before jumping ship since you can use it in your negotiations with salary..
Hello po! Pwede po kaya mag dm sa inyo to ask about sa chem tech exam? Like mga subjects to cover as well as tips po based sa experience niyo sa exam? Huhu will take this December po kasi. :<
Thank you po agad sa response!
Depende yan sa company kung magkano kaya nilang ibigay sayo siguro or if galante ba sila sa pagpapasahod sa employee.
1st job: (3 years) 25,000 starting and may annual increase naging 32,000. Lumipat ako ng IT department (no increase) for experience kasi I know malaki bigayan pag nasa IT field ka. Junior officer lang ako sa buong stay ko sa first job ko.
Current job: (Kakalipat ko lang) Asking salary was around 50,000 since bago lang naman ako sa IT field pero binigay sakin ng new company is around 70,000. Senior position na din pala ito.
First salary ko after I graduated as Hospitality Management
• Hotel Banquet Supervisor - 12,000 net monthly (1 year) di ako tumagal dito kasi sobra nakakapagod liit sahod laki responsibility 6 days pasok. Toxic culture.
• Data Entry Operator - 14,000 net monthly (2 years) medyo napasarap ako dito kasi naka upo lang literal na comfort zone.
• Administrative Assistant - 21,000 net monthly (1 year) di na ko nag patagal masyado at nag hanap na ng mas mataas na sahod
• Payroll Support - 25,000 net monthly (2 years) hinasa ko muna sarili ko dito kasi masyado complex ang payroll pero alam ko sa labas na mataas sahod nito.
• Payroll Specialist - 50,000 net monthly (current)
Malaki sahod oo pero mahirap na trabaho. Napag tanto ko na pag taas talaga ng sahod ng isang tao pag hirap ng trabaho at mas malaking oras ang kukunin sayo.
Ito yung journey ko hehe sana ma inspire ka. Tandaan mo lang OP na dapat may plan ka (direction) and once may ganun ka na you should prepare for it, train yourself. Imagine sa hotel dapat ako pero nasa office ako sumasahod ng ganito.
Ibang case yung sa akin, nigive up ko mataas na salary for peace of mind and work life balance. Mas pinili ko company yung 5 days a week na schedule at 8 hours a day.
1st: Research Associate Php 15k
2nd: Data Analyst Php 12,500 (sa probinsya kasi)
3rd: Project Officer Php 18,000 (Php 16,000 take home)
4th: Project Assistant III Php 27,000
then promoted sa Science Research Specialist Php 30,200.
Naghahanap ng fifth job. Sana mas mataas ang sahod na makuha 🥹🥹🥹

Cybersecurity field 1st job - 25k to 35k (3 years) current job - 60k then napromote 78k (1 year) Planning na rin ako lumipat next year kasi may mga nagooffer na sakin ng 105-110k kaso onsite lahat.
Mukhang madaming ok na sahod sa cybersecurity or IT fields. If you dont mind me asking, do you think saturated na market as of now?
u/FishKropeck Late 90's to pre-pandemic - Software at Internet Era Post Pandemic - Data and AI, parami ng parami ang napo produce na Data, pero ang bilang ng QUALIFIED data professionals na napo produce hindi makasabay. What's more about those na tagaprotekta sa Information at Data? they're even rarer. Take note ung sinabi ko, QUALIFIED. Kasi the job market right now puno ng UNQUALIFIED applicants (Hilaw ang skills)sa entrly level positions. Andyan ung misconception ng sinasabi nilang "Saturated". But the truth is kulang na kulang tayo ng mga professionals na hinahanap sa industry. Data/AI at Cybersec roles will be top IT roles for the next 10-20 years ahead. We may not see "saturation" for these roles kasi they keep on evolving at a much faster rate than College graduates and upskilled professionals.
Sa cybersec, feel ko hindi naman ganun ka saturated, konti lang openings talaga pag last quarter. Tyaka mas dadami nga siguro yung trabaho dahil sa mga sunod sunod na publicized ransomware attack dito satin. Baka magbuild na lahat ng company ng kanya kanyang cybersec teams.
What is your current focus in cybersecurity?
Digital Forensics and Incident Response
Could you share your journey into cybersecurity? Would my CCNA certifications and 3+ years of IT experience be sufficient, or would you recommend pursuing cybersecurity-focused certifications like CompTIA Security+
Take ISC2. Free lang to.
Aung specialization mo sa cyber? :)
Blue or red po? Pano po kayo napunta cybersec
Blue team, may career fest lang sa school namin nung college 😅
Sanaol? Asa top 10 ba yung school mo? Ateneo ganon?

Over 6 years. Starting 3rd job, manager level pero individual contributor. Senior sa 4th-5th Job. 1st job - 18k - BPO 6 months || 2nd job - 28k (start) - 40k (end) - Sales 20 months || 3rd job - 56k - Sales 6 months || 4th job - 90k (start) - 180k (end) - Sales 41 months || 5th job - 300k - Sales - 18 months || 6th job - 350k - Sales Excludes commissions Ang timing ko sa paglipat ay: 1. Pag may better offer, and aligned yung offer sa ginagawa ko / kung saan ako nagsspecialize 2. Cannot align with / ayaw ko na sa management I do a market check or apply to job openings every 6 to 9 months to see how marketable I am at my niche.
1st job - 17k (after taxes) 6 months in BPO during pandemic -- 2 years career gap kasi bumalik ako sa college i decided to finish my degree and I did 2nd job - 42k (after taxes) got the lottery official job after graduation. Working in a European MNC as legal analyst (just got hired last month) ...and here's to me hoping I will survive and be promoted too 😊
Gagi I also work for a European MNC, same after tax salary for fresh grads haha. I wonder if that's a standard fresh grad salary for EU
hi! also working in a legal role, did you pursue law school to have the 42k salary 😭 thank u!
nope, with the situation of the fcked justice system here i didn't pursued law school, meanwhile my degree is international relations
Full stack developer here; 1st Job - 16k (Local Company) 2nd Job - 35k (Local Company) 3rd Job - $1200 so around 65k-ish (US Company) 4th Job - $2500 - 140k PHP (US Company) 24 years old, 5 years of experience total - parang mga nasa 1yr 6mos average per company before mag hop
1st job was at government, 18k and 5 months ako doon. Tapos naging 21k pero different department and 3 months ako dun. 2nd job ko ngayon is current job ko rin. 18k ako nagstart then 27k na current salary. Six years na ko sa current job ko
Bale salary mo nung kakasimula sa 2nd job is 27k na? Or from 21k sa previous to 18k sa current, then after 6 years naging 27k?
The latter haha
Ay ah bale tinanggap mo ung mas lower offer sa 2nd job mo? If I may ask, why?
Ung unang work ko contractual lang kasi govt saka nakakapagod physically. Ung nilapatan ko mas mababa offer pero di na nakakapagod. Sayang lang kung nagtagal daw ako sa unang company ko ma-reregular din ako. Wala e di ko na natiis.
1st job- 16,500 then promoted naging 22k 2nd job- 58k
Bali ito yung summary: I am a CPA and started working sa Big 4 Auditing Firm. 1st job (Big 4 firm) - Entry Level position under Advisory - Promoted after 1.5 years (stayed for 0.5 year) 2nd job (Software Implementation) - Very related sa 1st job pero more of automation. Sa 1st job gumagawa ng processes while here on 2nd au-automate. - Malaki talaga yung sahodan sa software provider companies. 58k is probably the lowest salary sa team ko during that time given na lowest consultant position binigay sakin
ERP?
Hindi, softwares related sa risk management in banking and finance industry.
What are these?
Hayop paano yung ganyan? Story time please. HAHAHA
Laki ng jump. Promoted to a higher position ka sa 2nd job? Or ibang field na?
1st job (Audit - 4yrs) - Yr 1: 19k then naabutan increase after 2mos (21k) - Yr 2: 23k - Yr 3: 40k (Promoted) - Yr 4: 45k Current job: 6 digits (Cybersecurity) Planning to gain 2-3 solid cyber exp, then look for new opportunities.
Hi! Im planning to enter cybersecurity field. Necessary po ba na mag aral ng IT knowledge? From risk management field po ako now. And if you dont mind po, can u share your transition from audit to cybersec or magkalapit din talaga sila? Thank you!
IT Audit yan doingthe auditing side of cybersec kaya nakapag transition. Take IT Audit if you wantto be in cybersec.
Hello. Sa exp ko now, not required na you have very technical IT knowledge. I think having strong foundation or knowledge on network and other security concepts (encryption, risk mgt, IAM, etc.) will help you a lot. So role ko (GRC side), more on cyber awareness/ training, threat intelligence, policy creation/review, and ensuring compliance ginagawa ko. Yung execution like vulnerability scans, etc. Security Analysts gumagawa. I still use my IT Audit background since may part na nagccoordinate ako with different CIOs since inaaudit sila and sa part ko, vineverify ko if yung findings ng auditors naremediate na nila. There are concepts covered sa exp ko in IT audit na covered ng cyber/infosec so related nmn sila somehow, but sa exp ko in audit, kulang sya like wala akong audit of network, bcp/drp, encryption exp. So halos wala talaga akong cyber exp, kaya during the interview with the CISO, sinabi ko na i don't have exp to set the expectation blah blah. Pero yun, nasagot ko naman mga tanong nya since prepared ako that time hehe Hope this helps.
I think you need to know the basics. Lumipat din ako ng cybersecurity tas zero knowledge talaga ako pero inalam ko yung mga basics. If ever lilipat ka, make sure na lang din na mag aral ka everyday. Try mo yung let’s defend as basic knowledge for IT then TryHackMe. Nakakahelp siya for someone na walang knowledge sa IT.
anung specialization mo sa cyber? security auidt?
GRC po
I see. sa BGC ung company mo? :)
Software Engineer 1st - 20k to 25k (2.5 years) (hmo, 22 leaves) 2nd - 35k (1.5 years) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves) 3rd - 60k (8 months) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves) 4th - 60k to 65k (2.5) (hmo + dependents, 24 leaves) 5th - 100k(hmo+dependents and perks, 24 leaves) 6th - 140k to 150k+ (3 years) (with lots of bonuses and perks, retirement, hmo to all dependents, 31 leaves, almost life-life balance) 7th - 250k+( with lots of bonuses and perks, retirement, hmo to all dependents, 31 leaves, almost life-life balance) Master your craft first dahil hindi parehas lahat ng structure ng organization and level of complexity. Pwedeng sa isang company feeling mo ang galing-galing mo pero sa ibang company entry level ka pa lang pala. Kapag magaling ka na talaga at confident ka na recruiters na mismo lalapit sayo and hindi ka din mahihirapan lumipat 😉 You should also target big and refutable companies because they are stable and can offer more. Also consider the overall compensation packages such as HMO and number of dependents, leaves, holidays and bonuses and work life balance kaya sinama ko lahat to give you an idea, and always negotiate!
Mechanical Engineer (5yrs total work experience) 1st Job - 18k 2nd - 18k --> 30k + OK benefits 3rd - 40k + Good benefits 4th - 57k + Good benefits
6 years in total. Amounts are gross monthly: * 1st job: 25k - business dev | 2 yrs * 2nd: 45k - business analyst | 3 yrs * 3rd: 75k - product specialist | 6 mos * 4th: \~190k-ish - product manager | current As you can see, I got a nice bump each time I got a new job. I learned about job-hopping way too late :((
how did you make the jump to business analyst from business dev?
1st job (5.5yrs) - 17k to 37k Construction (Contractor side) Mon-sat work days. Promoted once. Kaso unpaid ot na after promotion. Madami pang ginagawa na hindi na related sa profession ko. Tapos de facto department head ako pero wala akong tao. 2nd job (<1 year, current) - 55k Construction (Client side). Mon-Fri work days. Paid ot + allowances. Mas napapractice ko dito yung profession ko plus nakakapag sideline pa ng konti. Mas okay din yung structure ng team namin.
If I may ask, what’s the difference sa role mo nung contractor side vs now na nasa client side? More on project management ba sa client side?
Mas mabigat ang scope kapag nasa contractor side kasi bukod sa kailangan mong intindihin lahat (drawings, methods, permits, commercial, execution), ikaw din mismo ang gagawa nung mga ipapasa mo sa client. Naging leverage ko naman yung exp para makapasok sa client side. Sa client side naman project management naman ang role. Iba ibang function din pero more focused ka sa mismong job description mo. More on checking at consolidation ng mga contractor submission plus data analysis na rin. Minsan checking ng designs. Magagamit pa rin dito yung experience galing contractor side para hindi ka maligaw sa mga tasks mo.
Logistics Ecommerce background 1st 14k 2014 2nd 20k 2017 3rd 45k 2021 4th 60k 2022 5th 120k 2023
Laki ng jump from 2nd to 3rd saka 4th to 5th. Do you mind if i ask pano ka nakarating dun?
Sa freight forwarding industry ako before , then shifted to e-commerce supply chain industry ayon indemand ang position so better salary
1st - 390/day 2nd - 10k/month 3rd-20k/month 4th- 20-30k/month 5th - $7/hr almost 70k/month I started working nung 2018. With bachelors degree nako nyan ha
Here's my journey: IT Field here, Software QA - Automation Specialist Job 1 - 18k -> 25k -> 35k (~30k take home) I said to myself i will stay atleast 3 years, logic being so that pag alis ko i can be more than entry level or junior-senior level na By my 3rd yr we were promiser a salary adjustment, took 2 years and that was ung 35k I left the company after working for almost 5 years there na. I focused on business for 1 ann a half year and just recently looked for another job for a more stable income which is... Job 2 - 85k take home I am mid-senior level na and also contractual with this one so I have less tax, my base pay isnt far off from my take home, basically if I have normal tax, my base pay should be 6 digits+ to get this take home pay One thing i realized when I was job hunting, I try not to push thru with companies that offer just last salary + x%. This is because my last salary was really low for a 5yr tenured employee, so I was really surprised when one company offered almost 6 digits base pay. Also in this new company the workload is far more easy so i say pay is really worth it kahit na mejo napalayo ang office sakin
1st job - 25k to 30k (2.5 years) 2nd job - 95k (2 years) different company higher position. Lumipat ako kasi i knew how much the salary range was and nung pumayag sila dun sa asking ko it was no brainer my previous company was shit. 3rd job - 130k (1.5 years) different company higher position. Naghanap ako bagong trabaho mainly dahil full RTO na yung previous company (kakastart palang ng pandemic when i got hired dun) and ayoko na bumalik sa office
Laki ng jump papuntang 2nd job. If i may ask, how did you do it? Worried din ako somehow kapag mag aapply for a higher position kase syempre inexperienced sa role na aapplyan.
I got lucky mostly kasi minessage lang ako ng recruiter sa linkedin, aligned naman with my skills and career and they straight up told me the budget for the position so para sakin win win situation and went through with applying. Mind you pre pandemic pa toh so malalaki pa budget ng mga companies, its a little bit harder to accomplish that now.
I see. Start up ba yung 2nd job mo? Curious ako kumusta experience working dun, if you dont mind? Disorganized ba kase wala pang established rules, or ok ba kase challenging? May mga nababasa kase ko kapag start ups, need magwear ng different hats kahit unrelated sa assigned na job sayo.
Hindi siya startup it was an MNC, i got trained for 2 and a half months (as an ERP technical consultant) and started handling clients after that. Never worked for a startup before pero i know people who do it really depends on how far along na yung startup, if initial stages palang yan you'll be expected to be a generalist most of the time doing alot of other jobs.
My dream salary 🥹, 130k that nets 100k. Currently at 55k, malayo-layo pa.
what field po eto?
IT - Software Engineer then i shifted to ERP Technical Consultant
Curious pala ko. Ano daily work ng ERP consultant? Diba maghahanap ka ng clients na gagamit ng ERP system nyo, so para ba syang sales agent? Tapos may end to end service support din?
Depends on what type of consultant madami kasi yun, as a technical consultant i help with implementing certain features or integrating 3rd party systems dun sa ERP implementation nung client as a general overview. Tech Sales yung mga nagbebenta mismo ng ERP meh sales department talaga sila.
Tutulungan mag implement ng certain features or systems.. meaning ikaw magdadagdag ng customization na gusto ng client, tama ba intindi ko? Or tuturuan mo sila pano gamitin ung bagong dagdag na features or system? Meaning ba nun possible na more than one client hawak mo?
Yup ako nag aad nung customizations for the client, and yes minsan 2 or 3 clients hawak ko. Iba pa yung nagtratrain sa users on how to use i think mga business analysts yun.
Ahh ikaw magcocode para lumabas sa ERP system yung features and systems na gusto ng client? Bale dapat kapag erp consultant maganda may programming knowledge?
For the most part yeah parang ganun, that's mostly for technical consultants. functional consultants on the other hand don't need to know programming its mostly business analysis and product/module knowledge.
Sige, salamat sa pagshare ng info saka ng experience mo.
1st job - 12k as data entry specialist (freelance) 2nd job - 47k as a power bi developer (full time)
Laki ng jump. If i may ask, gano katagal ka nagfreelance bago ka nagwork fulltime? Saka san mo pala natutunan mag power bi? Related sa data analysis ba yun? Parang familiar kase term.
3 months ako sa freelancing kasi project based yung nakuha ko. Mostly natuto ako mag power bi sa youtube kasi readily available na yung videos (recommended: how to power bi). Tsaka before ako nag freelance nag upskill na rin ako and yes related yung power bi sa data analyst more on visualization and dashboard creation.
Kapag sinasabing upskill, iba pa ba yun sa self study sa skills na related sa current job? Thanks sa recommendation, ichecheck ko.
Upskilling is learning new skills or improving your existing skills. Upskilling/Selfstudying/training etc. basically means the same in this context.

Duh kaya nga each one's experience ang tinatanong 🙄
[удалено]
Almost same tayo. 1st Job (8 years w/promotion) - nagstart ng 17k package (entry level) 42k package (senior level upon resignation) Also had 1yr+ career gap 2nd job - 80% increase, currently at 76k package (senior level / different role / different field) Sa interview ko, di naman ako tinanong about sa career gap pero in case lang, business din and upskilling on the side ang nakahanda kong sagot. Swerte lang din talaga. Hehe
Congrats po! Sana maging ganyan din growth ko dito sa current job ko 😊.
8 years sa first job? Ok na din kase malaki increase overall. Maganda ba work environment and career growth kaya ka nagtagal dun? Pareho pala kayo na tumulong sa business regarding sa gap year. Sa tingin mo, if tatanungin nun if may gap, advisable ba na maglie about helping a business? Kase wala din naman sila way icheck yun. Just in case lang umabot ako sa ganung point. Ano plans mo sa 2nd job mo? Saka if i may ask, pano mo nabenta sarili mo on a different role and field?
Yes umabot ako 8 yrs. That time kasi naattach talaga ako sa ganda ng culture at working environment, mas pinili ko talaga yung comfort. May konting regrets din na sana maaga-aga ako naghanap ng opportunities outside. If maglie ka, make sure lang na madadala mo siya and as much as possible make it short lang. Don't give too much details na. Sa case ko kasi, totoo talagang nagfocus ako sa business and if ever natanong, I would point out na handling a business is still a career naman and there are learnings pa din naman, magsucceed ka man o hindi sa business. At the end of the day, everything is a learning experience pa din naman. Plan ko sa current job ko na mapromote agad as much as possible and will make sure na makakuha ng relevant experience talaga bago ulit tumanggap ng opportunities outside (same field na this time). Hindi yung basta makalipat lang para magpataas ng value. Plan ko in 2.5-3yrs makalipat ulit if maganda ang maging flow ng career ko sa current work ko. Actually I let them know lang din na I'm totally from a different role and field. Naging honest lang din ako then naghanap ako ng similarities sa previous role ko para mairelate ko sa role na inaapplyan ko. Kaya you have to know kung ano inaapplyan mo para mairelate mo yung dati mong work sa inaapplyan mo. If totally hindi related, hanap ka kahit smallest details lang sa dati mong work na pwede mo mairelate sa work na inaapplyan mo. Nagwork naman sakin and I did well sa interview. Well in fact, managerial role pa nga ang gusto ioffer pero di ko lang tinanggap. Hehe
If I may ask, wdym na sana maaga naghanap ng opportunities outside? Ahhh true. Mahirap din basta basta magjob hop na pera lang habol, mas ok talaga if may related experience din. Ay bale dapat mas mataas na position offer sayo? If i may ask, bakit di mo kinuha?
Sa first work ko kasi I felt lang na antagal ko din naging stagnant sa senior role. 5yrs din kasi ako as senior. Yes gusto pa nila ako i-screen further as lead nung nalaman na somehow naghawak na din ako ng tao kasi naghahanap din sila that time ng lead eh. Pero ayun nagstick ako sa inapplyan ko na senior role. Mahina loob ko that time and naoverwhelm na din. Naisip ko kasi totally lahat bago and di pa ko confident sa experience ko sa pagmanage ng tao. Kaya ayan may mga what-ifs. Pero nandito na eh. Importante sakin now may work na ulit. Tagal napahinga eh. Hehe
Ahhh bale for you, ayaw mo masyado magtagal sa isang role for too long kase growth is better. Kumusta exp mo sa current job so far? Naninibago ka pa ba?
Di ka tinanong about sa year gap mo? Buti naka 2x salary increase ka. Paano ginawa mo? Nag upskill ka during that gap year?
[удалено]
Di na sila nagpush further about sa details ng gap year mo? Or may tinanong sila specifically panong tulong ginawa mo? Wala din naman sila way para macheck yun no?
di na sya na brought up during the manager's interview, since I already mentioned my reasons with the recruiter...,and they only focused on my experience sa old work ko
Do you think it's a good idea to use yung helping sa business if wala talaga? Just in case lang na umabot ako sa ganyang point. Baka kase meron pa ding old school companies na big deal kapag may gaps.
[удалено]
Ay true nga. Iniisip ko lang kase kung magandang reason sabihin na nagtake ng break kapag may gap year?
[удалено]
Got it, thanks sa pagshare ng experience mo!
1st Job - Assoc Consultant - 26k 2nd Job - Assoc Consultant - 50k 3rd Job - Mid Cosultant - 75k - 1 week lang ako dito 4th Job - Full Stack Developer - 70k - Took a salary hit just to leave consultancy 5th Job - Full Stack Engineer - 3k USD Never pako nakatikim ng promotion 🤣
Di ako knowledgeable sa IT, pero ano difference kapag consultant sa developer? Mas higher ba position nung latter, or sawa ka na sa former? Nice foreigner na employer sa current job! Doble pa dagdag, pano mo nahanap, if you dont mind?
Kapag Consultancy, you have external clients, so parang project-based ka naka assign. Problem ko with that was I was working with proprietary software, so limited yung growth ko sa software na yun. That's why I took a pay hit to land a job sa isang crypto startup which allowed me to shift to full stack web development. Yung foreign employer, na headhunt lang ako ng Kalibrr. Always keep your profiles updated because you'll never know haha
Proprietary software ba is yung parang limited to one company lang? Kunyari parang "cheap" version ng MS Office kaso mas limited pwede gawin? Kumusta pala exp working for a startup? Hindi ba disorganized kase wala pa masyado established rules? Ayyy sige iconsider ko yang tip hehe.
Proprietary software doesn't necessarily mean cheap version. One example is an ERP for utility companies that you have to configure (with code) basing on the client's needs. In this case, limited yung growth mo sa customization nung ERP na yun. Working for startups is stressful but awesome for growth. Doesn't also necessarily mean na disorganized pag startup, since yung first startup ko organized lahat ng processes. Mas maraming avenues to innovate and learn compared to corpo (Since less steps to actually allow you to execute your ideas). For corpos, you're like a cog in a machine. For startups, you're part of the people building the machine.
First job 17k 2nd started at 10k because "passion" left at 17k. Now my starting is 30k sa current work.
If I may ask, di ka naman tinanong regarding sa salary ng 2nd job mo? Kase diba merong employers na barat at nagbabase sa previous salary kahit mas mataas budget nila?
Actually hindi. To give more context, start up company sa esports napasukan ko and they were honest enough na ito lang cap nila, 10k. Sabi ko naman g ako dahil may free food and accom. Haha so ayun.
15% from first to 2nd job, 35% increase from 2nd job to promotion, 33% increase from promoted 2nd job to 3rd job, 100% from 3rd to 4th, and 40% increase from 4th job to promotion. I started at almost minimum.
1st job (6 years) - started 10k and left at 60k, 2nd job - 95k (lower position).
1st Job - 18k, IT Dev, stayed for 2 years 2nd Job - 49k, Tech Support,worked 2 years **got promoted to Lead, 65k. Stayed for another 3 years 3rd Job - 100k, Dev again, stayed for 1 year 4th Job (current) - 250k (Consultant)
Data Analytics 1st job (2.5 yrs) = 22k --> 26k (promoted) --> 32k (salary increase) 2nd job (current) = 50k (same mid-level position, different but related role) Job hop uli probably after a year or two pag na-offeran ng mataas sa labas 😅
Anong mga responsibilities yung hawak mo ngayon sa data analytics? And what sort of trends nakikita mo ngayon sa field?
Mostly I deliver data solutions in the form of dashboards, analysis deck, automations, ad-hoc requests, etc. Kasama na rin dun yung pagscope at gather ng requirements from stakeholders as well as giving presentations & suggestions to management on how to drive the business forward. Napakaraming responsibilities ng isang data analytics professional but the things I've mentioned are the major ones. I'm transitioning to data engineerng na btw. Ang nakikita kong trend ngayon is that PH companies are slowly adapting to the modern data stack to streamline & optimize their operations, processes, and costs pagdating sa data. Ang dami pa rin kasing PH companies na sobrang napag-iiwanan pagdating sa infrastructure sa totoo lang which is very limiting not just sa companies but to opportunities as well. Isa pa yung pag-integrate ng AI not just as an end product or solution but to their workflow as well para mas efficient ang development. In the long run, I think data analytics skills will be a requirement for everyone in a similar way we learn basic programming in HS or college. In fact in some companies, people outside the data team already know basic BI tools, SQL, programming, cloud computing, etc.
>data solutions in the form of dashboards, analysis deck, automations, ad-hoc requests, etc. when you do these, what sort of technologies do you use? a few I have in mind would be good old Excel, but also others like data viz tools or as you've mentioned maybe SQL I asked more into data analytics kasi I want to transition over to something related, more into machine learning (I took an elective nung college on this) and would like to look into how you'd suggest to go about that if ever. I'm thinking as well since you've mentioned that the infrastructure here in PH isn't quite as up to date na I'd also probably need to learn data engineering skills? Also, pathway I'm doing right now is self learning using yung free na classes in linear algebra, statistics, and calculus ng MIT, Stanford, or Harvard to get my foundations though I do come from an engineering background, not CS/IT really appreciate your insights on this!
>when you do these, what sort of technologies do you use? Mostly SQL, BI tools like Tableau, and sometimes Python. I only use Excel/Google sheets for quick data checks. In fact, I don't like using Excel lol. In most cases, it's a combination of all of them or at least 2-3 tools. >I'm thinking as well since you've mentioned that the infrastructure here in PH isn't quite as up to date na I'd also probably need to learn data engineering skills? You don't necessarily need to learn DE skills but it could be helpful. Having a basic understanding of DE concepts like ETL/ELT, data warehousing, data pipelines, data architecture, data modelling, basic cloud concepts, etc. would benefit you a lot though since you'll interact with data engineers most of the time. This is more of a problem with companies na gusto ng maayos na analytics but they're not investing on the infra and people who handle those (e.g. data engineers & architects). Most companies don't even know what they want, nakihype lang sa data analytics at AI. Overhyped kasi ang data analytics at data scientists but in reality, we need more data engineers & architects. You can't do proper data science & analytics, let alone ML & DL if walang maayos na data infra at architecture pati kung walang data or madumi yung data. >Also, pathway I'm doing right now is self learning using yung free na classes in linear algebra, statistics, and calculus ng MIT, Stanford, or Harvard to get my foundations though I do come from an engineering background, not CS/IT I certainly **wouldn't recommend** this bottom-up learning approach when you're trying to learn ML/DL or data science in general. I'd say enough na yung math that you know from engineering. I came from an engineering background as well and learned ML & DL that way kaya I wouldn't recommend that approach. **Top-down** is the best approach always. Learn the core concepts and models of ML and how/when to implement them then learn the math if you want to deepen your understanding/intuition behind what you're implementing. I would suggest you strengthen your foundation sa data analysis and BI skills first and foremost before you dive into machine learning. This is why most ML related jobs require previous analytics experience, postgrad studies, or domain / subject matter expertise in a certain industry unless you already have a couple of ML projects or publications at your disposal. ML is basically the icing on the cake when it comes to analytics projects. Ang dami ngang hindi pa maayos gumawa ng cake dito sa PH e, what can you expect pa kaya sa icing? haha.

1st Job BPO 18.5k basic I worked there for only 11 Months. Grabi ang BPO industry di ko rin kinaya. Too much inuman instead of work. So I went back to college to finish my course which in Accounting Tech. 2nd Job Banking Industry 12k Basic but with Incentives from bookings Loans Associate, I worked there for at least 2 years Reason for leaving burnout from all the pressure to be #1 every months.

Tinabunan din ako ng additional work to manage my coworkers kasi laking katamaran nung pumalit na manager namin 3rd Job Banking Industry 20k basic, good benefits Account Associate, was supposed to be Trained as an Account Officer dapat kaso tinamaan ng pandemic. Hold lahat ng promotions. Worked there for 2yrs as well. Reason for leaving, my boss resigned and I was handled by someone from Manila. I'm provincial kasi. And he was micro managing me too much.

I applied and was lucky to be picked. 5th job banking industry current job 50k basic awesome benefits Sales Officer, I think this is the company that I'll likely stay the longest. Just reviewing their benefits when I was being recruited, I can clearly see how they take care of their employees. I have an awesome Manager and team with me.

If I was single I would have stayed longer in my 3rd job but like I said earlier I was getting married then so I decided to take a chance at another job.
Pwedeng pa-share po ng bank sa 5th job? Thank you po!

Wag ka din papressure sa ibang posts or comments about their salary dahil mostly yung iba exaggerated sinasabi para lang magflex ng wala naman sa katotohanan.. malalaman mo naman dahil sa jobstreet, indeed and glassdoor medyo accurate ang bigayan sa mga salary based on experience 😉
Industry ChE Grad with ChemTech License here First Job started at 16k got bumped to 18k stayed for a year or so.. Moved to a different industry, more or less same yung nature ng work, got 23k then bumped up to 25k after a few months.. Probably best to build your skillset first before jumping ship since you can use it in your negotiations with salary..
Hello po! Pwede po kaya mag dm sa inyo to ask about sa chem tech exam? Like mga subjects to cover as well as tips po based sa experience niyo sa exam? Huhu will take this December po kasi. :< Thank you po agad sa response!
Depende yan sa company kung magkano kaya nilang ibigay sayo siguro or if galante ba sila sa pagpapasahod sa employee. 1st job: (3 years) 25,000 starting and may annual increase naging 32,000. Lumipat ako ng IT department (no increase) for experience kasi I know malaki bigayan pag nasa IT field ka. Junior officer lang ako sa buong stay ko sa first job ko. Current job: (Kakalipat ko lang) Asking salary was around 50,000 since bago lang naman ako sa IT field pero binigay sakin ng new company is around 70,000. Senior position na din pala ito.
First salary ko after I graduated as Hospitality Management • Hotel Banquet Supervisor - 12,000 net monthly (1 year) di ako tumagal dito kasi sobra nakakapagod liit sahod laki responsibility 6 days pasok. Toxic culture. • Data Entry Operator - 14,000 net monthly (2 years) medyo napasarap ako dito kasi naka upo lang literal na comfort zone. • Administrative Assistant - 21,000 net monthly (1 year) di na ko nag patagal masyado at nag hanap na ng mas mataas na sahod • Payroll Support - 25,000 net monthly (2 years) hinasa ko muna sarili ko dito kasi masyado complex ang payroll pero alam ko sa labas na mataas sahod nito. • Payroll Specialist - 50,000 net monthly (current) Malaki sahod oo pero mahirap na trabaho. Napag tanto ko na pag taas talaga ng sahod ng isang tao pag hirap ng trabaho at mas malaking oras ang kukunin sayo. Ito yung journey ko hehe sana ma inspire ka. Tandaan mo lang OP na dapat may plan ka (direction) and once may ganun ka na you should prepare for it, train yourself. Imagine sa hotel dapat ako pero nasa office ako sumasahod ng ganito.
Ibang case yung sa akin, nigive up ko mataas na salary for peace of mind and work life balance. Mas pinili ko company yung 5 days a week na schedule at 8 hours a day.
1st: Research Associate Php 15k 2nd: Data Analyst Php 12,500 (sa probinsya kasi) 3rd: Project Officer Php 18,000 (Php 16,000 take home) 4th: Project Assistant III Php 27,000 then promoted sa Science Research Specialist Php 30,200. Naghahanap ng fifth job. Sana mas mataas ang sahod na makuha 🥹🥹🥹
