Oh I didn't know that was the case. I grew up and graduated in the Philippines with a Computer Science degree, but didn't manage to experience work there. Most of my friends work in HP, Canon and other multi-nationals, and entry-level work is paid dirt-cheap. Although it scales up considerably as you gain experience, though I've heard that it doesn't scale and pay as well as someone on the IT management track, which sucks. Maybe that is also the case in Cebu? I'm only familiar with Manila.
Also, I've always had the impression that living with your mom does not carry the same stigma as here in the US. The only time people release their shackles from their parents is when they get married, even that doesn't occur quite often too.
Why are you working over-time in the weekends anyway? Is it related to your Monday-to-Friday job?
- wenbert 16y agoI used to work an American company it started to pay well but then the US economy got hit a few years ago. Working on the weekends is not related on the day job. I do other stuff online to make extra money. It's funny, now that I have thought of it, I have been doing sidejobs longer than my dayjob. I had sidejobs since at the 2nd year of college. Also, I forgot to post that I am shifting careers. Now, I code on my free time - for fun! I now work for a Norwegian surveying company. I spend a lot of time in a ship inside the survey room. Still computer related but I with less hours :D and hopefully bigger pay.
- julsonl 16y agoYeah. I sort of took a quick glance at your past comments and found that, just forgot to update. That sounds like an awesome job! I just hope you don't get to pass around the Horn of Africa that much (knocks on wood).
