Working In The Philippines
A lot of folks I’ve met on-line over the past 7 or 8 years want to live in the Philippines. Many are also below normal retirement age and don’t have a pension or other regular non-work income source to support their move. So those with technical talent often ask about getting a tech job in the Philippines.
My view? based on personal knowledge and contacts with a number of hi-tech folks as well as bankers and lawyers is … fughedaboutit (or that would be Tony Soprano’s advice and my echo). Your competition is thousands and thousands of fresh, motivated and ‘hungry’ technical graduates each year and a large crop of under-employed experienced folks. Also, many things both culturally and technically are done differently. They may be smarter or less smart in your view, but the object is, no one is looking for your view … your chief value would be fitting in and being part of a team.
If my pessimism (honest evaluation) of the work climate hasn’t driven you away. here’s an outfit that is actively working with a lot of tech companies here in the Phils and is actively recruiting cannon fodder (I mean job applicants). Best of luck.
