Badly Need Advice for Salary in IT

Diwata1057

Hello sa lahat.

Para sa mga may experience, experts and may knowledge about salary guide dito..."Which would you choose, $660/week contractual job for 6mos or $90K including Super for permanent job."

Ganito ba talaga kalaki ang disparity sa sweldo. Sa interviews for perm eh lage asa range ng 80-100k ang nababanggit.

Ag saket sa ulo.

Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

in my opinion, mas maganda po yung permanent job para may job security.

Permanent, for job security. Iba pa rin yung alam mo di ka mawawalan ng work:)

LokiJr

Yung contractual job po ba e bibigyan din kayo ng super guarantee? Malaking bagay rin kasi yun...

Pero oo, mas ok talaga pag permanent full time

Bryann

Hmm naguluhan po ako, wala kasi ako nakikita advantage nun contractual job. 660 a week, compared sa 90k per annum kahit pareho sila permanent, an
Anlaki pa din ng difference. And pipiliin mo talaga yun latter.

TasBurrfoot

i think this is a easy choice... perm ka diba, as it would offer more job security and at the same time the salary is way higher than the other.

not unless i am missing something out here...

TotoyOZresident

Diwata nakapag decide ka na ba?

Metaform

I think she meant $660 / day.

oo nga...baka nga 660/day ang ibig sabihin nya. kasi yung per week yung 660...ang liit lang nun compared sa 90K/year. hehe

TasBurrfoot

kung 660/day naman ang laki naman nito compared to 90K/yr if you annualized...

Ehehehe!!

LokiJr

..kung in demand naman ang trabaho niya at makakakuha pa siya ng additional part time job sa contractual, why not diba? hehehe

Diwata1057

Sorry kung naguluhan kayo but yes it"s 660 per day and no hinde pa nakakadecide..at any rate interview pa lang naman yung mga perm job so hinde parin sure..hahah!If ever matanggap, we have decided to go for the perm....iniisip na lang namin na we are here to start our life and be here forever so security ang dapat unahin. Pero yes nakakahinayang ang laki ng difference :-(

Bryann

Naisip ko din, if skilled ka talaga and confident ka na after ng contract makakahanap ka agad ng another job.. go for the short term big bucks opportunity. Sayang din kasi, anyway job experience pa din naman yun.

BuhaySG

@Diwata1057 i agree with Bryann! go for that short term big buck opp. bihira ung mga ganyan oppurtunity. habang bata pa grab ng grab ng mga salapi pag medyo tumatanda na tsaka ka na mag isip ng stabality. pero weight mo rin kasi baka may catch yan.

TasBurrfoot

another +1 for Bryann - who knows, baka they will make you perm after 6 months ON THE SAME SALARY arrangement...

silvre

I collect salary surveys related to ICT nga pala in case interested kayo.. i have those from 2012 Peoplebank, Hays and Robert Walters. ok sya kasi you can at least get the expected ranges depending on your level. ok na rin sya basis for negotiating your salaries hehe. give me your email ads and i'll send over the pdfs.

Metaform

@silvre How factual are the figures? Paki-post na lang yung link dito via Dropbox para makita ng lahat. Thanks.

LokiJr

Hays Salary Report...accurate yan hehe...yan gamit namin e hehe

JClem

I agree with you, Kuya @Bryann! Besides, kung iisipin natin wala din security kahit permanent employees, kapag nagcost cutting ang isang company minsan tanggal pati permanent employees. The only certainty is uncertainty. We just have to be wise.

Thanks sa lahat ng advice.

Yung profile as in personality ng asawa ko fits more for a perm staff sa ngayon.Siguro pag established na sya dito sa Melbourne (bago lang kase kame just arrived Sep 2012) mas confident and K na siya mag contractual.

He accepted and negotiated na from 90K to 105K/Yr inc super, staff benefits like 35% off from our monthly energy and gas bill. I think this is good enough and he can establish himself sa company na yun and grow from there.

God is truly good.

Again, thanks guys for all the inputs.

Merrry Christmas to ya all.

Congrats po Ma'am sa 'yo at sa iyong husband.. kung okay lang po, pwede po malaman kung anong field ng mister nyo?

Okim

Diwata1057

BA siya. :-)

LokiJr

Congrats po @Diwata1057 ang aga ng pamasko ninyo hehe.

Ang isa pang advantage ng full time work sa contractual ay mas matimbang ang work experience sa resume pag full time ka. Some companies treat both jobs as equals but most conventional employers would prefer someone who came from a more stable background.
