  3. ​ @leponpon6935  its stupid rates. i graduated at a top university like ateneo de manila filled with rich kids, but starting salary for graduates is still like around only ₱25k-30k (RM2000-2400), rather than ₱20k-25k (RM1600-2000) to other more generic universities or ₱12k-20k (RM962-1600) for the more desperate, then families like mine usually grew up with maids living at home being paid monthly like ₱8k (RM641). the cost of a meal outside each day at some restaurant or mall is like around ₱60/120-400 or so (RM4/9-32) and the utility bills for internet or others is like ₱1k something. i managed to land a starting job before with US company for ₱31k(RM2500) before covid happened but its a software engineer job with office location very far away from my home filled with programming for me who graduated with a course not geared too much in that and have to commute daily there for like maybe 3-4hrs back and forth every day if i dont pay some ride hailing app instead to get there in 1-2hrs, so left it after some months when its already covid. of course, stupid covid, i could not find anymore such job. other fresh graduate job only want like ₱20k-25k (RM1600-2000) or lower. even with that, stupid job interviews never went ahead ever in the past months and years, so my sister decided to make an online store in lazada and shopee and the sales were doing ok last year, like i could see 6 digit ₱ earnings (around RM8k) some months selling anti-covid products. of course, unlucky for me, it's not me who owns the shop, so i still only get like at first zero salary, then later ₱3k(RM240), then later around ₱10k(RM800), then later around ₱25k(RM2000) but family decided to start making me pay bills so i only get half those with the bills deducted. fastforward to now, this year covid product sales are down because of course covid is not so much there anymore, so now, sales are lower than the bills they give me, so now since june and july, im getting negative salary. wtf... i try for the past months to find job again but as usual, interview interview goes nowhere, leads to either ghosting or reject. idk if i should just go abandon the career meant for what i graduated and go to those call center or bpo kind of jobs offerred from china or taiwan with those online casino for chinese mainlanders, at least for relatively simple enough job, they say they offer ₱80k-₱100k (RM6400-8000). for other career, those might as well be middle manager salary rates in the philippines. any higher rate needs to run your own business or be C-level to get 6 digit ₱ inflow each month.
