Nakabother talaga! Same position, same work, pero yung ka-office ko sa Manila, mas mataas ang sahod kaysa sa akin dito sa probinsya. 😡 Bakit ganon? Does location really determine your worth? Shouldn’t remote work be bridging this gap?

what do you expect kalokahan lang sinasabi nila tumaas na rate sa provincial nasa metro manila parin ang opportunities

Grabe, nakakaiyak! After 5 years of working, my salary barely moved! Meanwhile, some fresh grads in tech are earning double or triple. 😭 What’s happening to our industries?! Paano kaya natin mare-resolve ang sobrang laking agwat ng sahod across different fields?

it depends on demand kasi may free training sa tech that you can try kung gusto ng career na malaking salary pala
M

Nakaka-depress! Yung sahod ng skilled workers sa ibang bansa sobrang taas, pero dito, halos di makatawid sa daily expenses. 😔 Kailangan bang mag-abroad lahat para lang kumita ng tama? Anyone else feeling the pressure to leave the Philippines just to have a decent salary?

mabubuhay ka dito kung 2-3 jobs meron ka kaya maraming nag i-ibang bansa parin
R

Reality check. I just found out na mas malaki pa ang sahod ng ka-batch ko abroad as an entry-level employee kaysa sa kinikita ko after 3 years of work dito sa Pinas. 😩 Nakakaburnout! Does anyone else feel trapped by the low salaries here? Ano kaya ang solusyon sa salary gap na to?

2-2 jobs para mabuhay ng maayos dito sa Pinas kaya maraming nag a-abroad parin
D

Sobrang frustrating! Bakit ang laki ng salary gap between Metro Manila and the provinces? 😡 I’m doing the same work as my friends in Manila, pero mas mababa yung sahod ko dito sa probinsya! Parang unfair naman. Paano natin mabibigyan ng equal opportunities ang lahat, regardless of location?

Paano ba maiiwasan ang napakalaking salary gap sa Pilipinas? I feel stuck as a fresh grad with a low starting salary. Meron bang paraan para mag-level up agad? To the managers, how did you bridge this gap? Share naman ng tips!

Nakaka-frustrate talaga! Grabe ang laki ng salary gap between industries dito sa Pilipinas. Bakit kaya ganito? Yung iba sobrang baba kahit same level ng education at experience. Kayo ba, how do you deal with salary discrepancies? Any advice para sa mga underpaid na tulad ko?

Ang hirap kumita ng decent salary as a fresh grad. I didn’t expect na ganito kalaki ang disparity between fresh grads and those in managerial positions. Any advice on how to cope with this gap? Parang napakatagal bago mag-level up.

don't compare your salary kasi iba talaga rate depende sa job position din, focus ka lang to gain experience para maka apply ka na sa managerial position

Nakaka-demotivate ang laki ng salary gap sa Pilipinas! I’ve been working for a few months na and I feel like I’m stuck. Parang ang layo ng salary compared to managers. Anyone here have any tips on how to close that gap faster?

D

Nakakafrustrate talaga, bakit ganito kalaki ang salary gap? Fresh grad here, and I just found out na sobrang laki ng agwat ng sahod sa ibang bansa kumpara dito. Anyone else wondering kung paano tayo makakakumpara? What are your thoughts, lalo na sa mga managers out there?

yup 100% true kaya noon palang hangang ngayon marami paring OFW o pipiliin maging OFW kasi kahit waiter nga lang doon malake na maiipon mo compare sa managerial positions dito sa totoo lang

Sakto lang ba talaga ang sweldo sa cost of living? Curious lang ako, ang hirap mag-budget ng sweldo sa ganitong rates. Bakit kaya malaki ang gap ng sweldo sa probinsya at sa Manila? Share your thoughts!
