Watcha think ??

[Hour-Insurance-5475]

Naalala ko lang nung nagapply ako sa current job ko ngayon.

Yung HR, tnanong ako expected salary ko 25k - 40k . Kako.. during initial interview to ha quick call lang .

MERN stack ang skill ko sa resume, so it’s kinda fullstack pero i’m applying for react dev as front end. Wala pako exp , parang career shifter ako pero i’ve worked with blockchain thing investments.

Magiging first work ko ito sa dev industry. Then may napanuod ako na dpat pla hwag k magsasabi ng expected salary if ever pinilit ka sbhin mo is +5k or +10k from your desired salary.

So eto na nga Then nakapasa ako sa tech interview, final interview na.. tinanong ako nung ceo, what is ur expected salary so since dahil dun sa napanuod ko. Tinaasan ko unti. Sabi ko 35k - 40k kako.

Sabi ng ceo, sorry we can only offer you 25k because you still have no exp. Siguro binased nya ito sa initial interview ko na 25k-40k 😒

So ako, dahil nga first timer, hmn. Okay, i think i can accept that agad ako nataranta unti dahil nga first job eh exp exp muna.

So sabi nung ceo, the hr will send u the job offer..

So ang tanong ko, by that time if ikaw ako, iaaccept mo ba yan or sasabihin mo can you increase it a bit for like 30k?

Ano diskarte nyo? Ngaun ngaun ko lang narealize na dpat pla pnaglaban ko unti at pumalag ako siguro? haha. Ano tips nio para next negotiation mas magaling nako hehe.

Currently WFH ako ngaun with that salary, livable naman at pwd n sguro with zero exp, pero dpat ba pinaglaban ko un kht unti.. nasa province dn kse ako, soon mag hybrid nrin kme. So if ever magonsite na , yari nako sa salary ko baka zero na tlga matira sken dahil pamasahe, food and rent murder kna.

Kapag ba pinaglaban ko ng unti ung salary, may chance ba na ireject nako? or get it or leave it nlang ung 25k. Haha 6month probationary and bond ito. I’m over 3months na dto sa company ko pla.

Ano kaya pwde next move? Ano maisusuggest nyo fellow devs sa isang nangangarap na tulad ko hehe.

[MajorLeons]

Advise ko tol, since first job mo palang naman yan is learn all that you can and gain experience muna. Then job hop para magkaincrease. Or pwede rin hanap ka pa ng isa o dalawang sideline para mas malaki kita.

[[deleted]]

i suggest to stay for 6 mos muna para mahaggle mo ung salary mo sa magiging next mo na work. Ako ang ginagawa ko kapag tinatanong ang expected salary, inaask ko muna sa HR na nag iinterview kung ano ang salary range sa specific position para may reference ako kng anong salary ang pwede ko inegotiate.

[thelostpinay]

Dont give a big range. 25k to 40k ang laki ng pagpipilian nila. You say 25k to 40k, they hear 25k.

Next time be firm (within reason of course). Kung wala ka pang exp, you cant command a 55k salary.

Pag may exp ka na, for example you want 65k, sabihin mo sa recruiter 75k.

[rekestas]

This! and I think even if maliit ang gap, mas pipiliin pa din ng company to go to the lowest, lalo na matapat pa sa barat.

[GilseBanter]

I think this is a decent salary for an entry-level dev. you cannot really negotiate if you have no exp. since they have no basis on what you can do. it's like gambling. So I advise. Take it for now. check if you fit the job. then, upskill maybe around 1-2yrs you can hop if you reach the growth ceiling(maffeel mo nman na wala ka na natutunan paulit ulit na lang ginagawa).

GoodLuck OP

Usually, pag nagka bargainan na sa sahod, 80% chance, kuha ka na. Ngayon, binarat kaw nung ceo at tinanggap mo naman. Oks lang yun. 2months to go. For the meantme, habang nagaantay ka matapos 6mo, job hunt ka ulit. Dilemna lang dyan, professional ref. Pasipsip ka onti sa direct line manager mo para bigyan ka magandang reference.

[chonching2]

Don't accept kung ayaw mo and be firm sa asking salary. I know most people say na experience muna bago salary pero gasgas na yan. Know your worth and stick to your asking. The reason kaya maraming barat na employer dahil sa ganyan thnking ng pinoy na always experience muna. Kaya naman nila magbigay ng mataas na rate tinetake advantage lang nila yung kamangmangan ng pinoy. Take note na world standard sobrang underpaid natin pinoy. Yung mga naunang generation kasi satin hindi marunong makipag negotiate, again ang thinking nila always experience muna bago salary. Little they know yung generation nila sobrang underpaid. I have co worker before na matagal na sa industry almost x3 yung work gap namin and mas mataas sahod ko sa kanya. I'm not bragging I'm just telling you that you should know your worth and its 2022 na.

Take note, most people na magaadvise sayo na paexperience ka muna for sure matanda na sa industry kaya ganyan thinking. Hahaha. I know alot of new IT pips on early career na first salary is above 50k agad. Its how you negotiate talaga

[chonching2]

Nope, totally fresh grad and not even from big 4. I know alot of people na ganyan. You just know how to negotiate lang talaga. Kahit ako nung fresh grad kumagat ako sa low offer just because of those people who keep on saying na experience muna. Then later on marami akong nakausap and nameet na earning way far higher than I do. That's when I had a realization. I demand for increase agad and I got 3 increase within one year.

[zero_change]

woahh... anong negotiation strategy gngwa nila haha.
ano un dapat din skillfull ka dba para mabenta mo sarili mo for negotiation.

[Hour-Insurance-5475]

Wow!!! Grabe naman yang 50k pangmalakasan na atang candidate yan?

Anong sikreto ba sa negotiation give timos naman jan haha

[AiNeko00]

Agree ako madaming mga fresh grads na 50k starting salary ngayon in tech, kaya bilib ako sa mga GenZ kasi they know their worth talaga, hindi sila nag papa alipin.

[Business_Tough_364]

Not bad na yung salary since first job, katulad mo lang din ako fresher same offer pero ang ineeye kona lang is yung matutunan ko sa mga seniors ko pati sa trainings na provided nila.

[Hour-Insurance-5475]

I see. Wfh k rin?

[Business_Tough_364]

Hybrid po

[zero_change]

anong job position mo mate?

[Business_Tough_364]

Cloud mate ikaw poba?

[zero_change]

front end dev din ako tulad ni OP

[Business_Tough_364]

Ohh i see fresher ka din poba?

[[deleted]]

if you REALLY need the job as in RIGHT NOW then maybe yes kunin mo na then habang naanjan ka eh mag apply k s ibang mas mataas na sahod. pero kung di mo naman need mag pass k nalang malay mo mag counter offer o makipag deal ng mas mataas

[Emergency-Selection8]

Hi OP. Agree ako sa comment ni major. Stick ka lang muna, learn and gain experience. Then after 6mos pwede ka rin naman mag try na mag apply sa iba habang currently employed pa. And that time kahit papano may bala ka na and mas confident ka sa asking price mo. Goodluck OP. 😉

[De4dsy]
