I am web developer here in Philippines 23yrs old with 2yrs experience in my career. If I rate myself from 1-10 and 10 is the highest maybe I rank 7. Im earning a gross of almost 37k/month included sidelines. And I can say I am in a good employer now here in Phils. And Im also a Microsoft Cert. Professional
-But-
The employer from Dubai offers me P65,000 to become part of his startup company (magazine publishing company). They like me very much because I'd also worked in number magazine here in Philippines as a web developer too.
Here is my question? In my work status,earnings,age,and profession, Do you think his offer is not bad for me to work in Dubai and leave my love one (girlfriend) here in Philippines?
Thanks. god bless.
Hi there, I'd like to offer this advice, or get you to check the following:
Find out where the start up company is registered, the best would be if it were run out of a Free Zone. This means that if things didn't work out with your employer you could simply move to another one without being banned.
I hate to tell you this but there are literally hundreds of magazines published in the UAE, the downside is that there is a very small buying population for magazines (even the major publication titles only run to about 30,000 units per month!)– this results in many of them going bust in the first 3 or 4 months!
How much money is he offering in Dirham or Dollars, you can't make a direct comparison to what you are currently earning as opposed to what he is offering as you have to factor the cost of living in Dubai into the equation.
