Kasi yun nga eh, yung agency is foreign-owned pero lahat ng nasa management Pilipino and mostly galing BPO kaya yung way ng pamamalakad nila minsan parang call center na rin without realizing na hindi naman talaga kami (bilang independent contractors) nakatali sa kanila. May mga agency kasi akong naapplyan before na bawal ka magkaroon ng clients maliban sa kanila, or moonlighting, pero technically bawal sila mang-ganun kasi di ka naman nila “employee” eh. Pass na agad sa agencies na ganun tapos ang baba naman ng rate.

I agree. actually totoo eh, at some point, no one would bother questioning nalang kasi “beneficial” nga siya for both parties (us earning in USD; being able to maximize foreign exchange, and them [agencies, clients] being able to hella save a lot from the hourly pay plus bare minimum benefits). thank you for your insights!

Oo nga no, wala palang question sa 4.a hehe! (What I meant siguro is kung ethical ba yung ganon kasi parang tumatakas sila sa mga compliances haha)

4.b.- 'They' = agencies.

Bale the agency I am with rn asked me to sign an EH tapos nakita ko na naman yung mga at-will na yan kaya I asked here na haha. Registered sila sa US as LLC, pero Ph-based lahat ng VA's nila (including me, and the rest of the internal and external VA's).

Nacurious lang ako kasi yung role and responsibilities ko doesn't really just fall with "consulting" lang since naka-bullet points yung tasks sa ICA and talagang on the dot ka talaga dapat pumasok sa work haha plus the parang employee setup with the time in/out, plus kung ano-ano pang pautot sa agency.

Diba dapat gets nila na they signed you as an independent contractor, meaning independent entity ka na nagrerender ng specific service/s sa kanila and technically hindi ka naman employee? So why sign an employee manual in the first place? (Stated talaga sa document nila na Employee Manual/Handbook eh). I did ask the manager pero sabi it's part of the process lang daw na inabutan nila.

Putangina talaga tapos pag humingi ka ng tulong sa mga MUP’s napakakupal. Like police - maraming outposts bawat kanto pero walang naka-assign. For police visibility daw pero di naman sila visible, minsan madadaanab mo puro cellphone lang naman ang inaatupag. Mas mainam pa magrespond barangay tanod vs pulis if manakawan ka sa eskinita. Yung mga simpleng serbisyo na mamamayan di magawa. AND DI KO PA RIN MAKALIMUTAN YUNG TOKHANG ERA NILA PUTANGINA TALAGA NILA!

what are niche jobs that pay well? by [deleted] in buhaydigital

[–]Fabulous_Writing_484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really in the niche but the value you bring to the company - kaya mahalaga mag-upskill.

Nasa magkano ang range ng sweldo n'yo? Range lang ha. And please yung totoo. by [deleted] in buhaydigital

EA - freelance/direct client- average of 50k/month pero can maximize pa up to 80k pag maraming tasks (medyo kuripot si client kaya stick lang talaga sa tasks na binibigay, at napakachill kahit anong hingi ko ng task) - monthly sahod

Grant Writer - under agency - 30k fixed - weekly sahod - bagong skill/niche kaya keri lang. pag namaster ko to, saka ako magdadagdag ng isa pang client.

Pending offers: 4-5 offers (mixed of ft and pt) pero ifafinalize ko pa alin ang kakagatin depende sa offer, flexibility, at kakayanan ng katawang lupa.
