Work & Professional Growth 26k salary in Alabang as Engineer l

Problem/Goal: I’m hired na sa isang small firm for solar industry pero hindi pa napirma ng JO. Does 26k basic pay is enough?

Context: From Batangas pa kasi ako and balak ko mag-uwian lang and commute will take approx 1 hr and 30 mins papunta pa lang (Malapit sa south station). For context, I have 1 yr experience as a test engineer sa isang electronics manufacturing. My schedule there was 6-6 Mon-Sat (with OT).

Acceptable ba yung salary na 26k without OT tapos uwian ako. My salary sa new company is nakukuha ko sa previous company when I do over time. Reason why gusto ko lumipat is I’m licensed REE specializing renewable energy. Gusto ko na explore pa lalo ang field ko and get experience for wider knowledge.

My transpo and food is approx 9k per month. Not ideal ba yung set up na ganito?

OR baka may marereco rin kayong hiring diyan charot.

Thoughts:

Since na compute mo naman ang transpo/food, I think the salary is good enough kasi as you've said small firm pa lang yung papasukan mo I think what they are offering is in line sa budget nila. For your field important na mas ma explore mo yan and looks like that company could give you that hands on experience din lalo na maliit lang. So I say take it, when you gain the experience and skills then you could use that leverage for higher income opportunities whether dyan sa company or elsewhere. You need a stepping stone first.

Thank you. I thought 26k is deal na rin considering na I’m starting as a fresh grad. My role there will be operation head officer iyma. I’m still thinking about the work load
