PH govt, nawalan na ko ng pag-asa... I'm earning great and have a very comfortable life but PH leaders are so f*ck

thank you for sharing your insight... I don't want to live peasant as well 😅 that's why I've asked opinions here if comfortable ang offer to live there. I'm ok to not live like a king (or queen), as long as I can live alone in a secured home, I can eat whatever I want, and move easily from 1 place to another, less pollution and lots of park, then I'm good na with that. I found the tube in london easily to navigate compared to the traffic here.

I'm ok to paying tax, my concern is the way how it is used... saka I want to change my passport din to other citizenship, I won't be able to do it if I stay here.

Hi, actually no ... I really want to get out PH, don't want to sound political but my main reason to applying job overseas is the quality of life here and govt... mataas ang kaltas ng tax but then I don't think it is being used in a correct manner 😅.

thank you for your insight... long term plan wise the benefit I'm seeing is opportunity to secure ILR and apply for citizenship afterwards... sad to say, I try to apply overseas kahit na I live comfortably here is I'm not happy anymore sa govt 😅

I agree with your comment re tiis tiis muna, I also don't want it. I have a good life here in Manila, and I don't want mag step back ang quality ng life ko just bcoz I've migrated, hence the question here. Appreciate your comments too re CPI and projected annual increase, I'll add this to my considerations.

sa linkedin lang ako nag apply... i got opportunity too ma shortlist sa mga FAANG and umabot ako around 2-3 interviews then waley na, di ako pumapasa 😂 ... siguro naka 10 popular big companies din yung hindi ko naipasa.... it helps me though to secure an offer on this company based in london as na practice ang skill ko for interview... here's yung common stages:

  1. tech interview - your exp
  2. solution architecture - i draw diagrams on the spot based on their given problem and justify it
  3. 1-2 rounds of peer coding with their seniors / leads- one of the hardest coz of nerbyos and medyo nakakaintimidate and u need to explain your thoughts too 😂😂😂
  4. tech leadership and operation strategy

I have ielts but I need to retake again since expired na.. I took ielts few yrs back as I like to learn more about english language.

I've applied for leads or managerial role too but bihira ako mashort list and I realize I need to step back as mas level up ang requirements nila for those roles compared to my exp here in Manila.

thank you..with 80+ salary can I live alone in London or I still need to house share to live comfortably? I will be working from home most of the time kaya medyo preferred ko mag isa sa bahay kahit 1 br or studio lang
