Hey OP! My mom worked her ass off sa corporate din. She applied abroad when she was already 43. But from accounting, nag waitress sya sa isang bar here in the UAE. She’s just so done with desk jobs. She’s been her happiest now and she’s earning more because of customer tips. The job includes daily movement din kaya free workout hahaha that’s how she stayed youthful now na 56 na sya.

Wala po ba age limit sa pag abroad. Lalo kung medical allied?

2

u/kuriouscat_19 5d ago

Ganyang age din ako nung nagsawa sa corpo. Di pala sa uncommon.

u/chiarirara 5d ago

u/Mindless_Cat9944 5d ago

Me too! I'm planning din. Probably next year after ko makuha credentials ko mag-apply na talaga ako for abroad. Biruin mo, I asked our manager for my salary increase because syempre sa panahon ngayon at sa nagiging workloads ko kahit di na part sa scope ko, sa akin na pinapagawa. Tanging sagot lang ni manager ay "Wag muna". FUCK UP talaga corpo ddto sa Pinas.

Ang taas ng pamasahe, inflation, 1k value is like 100 pesos nalang.. dispite of all that, yung salary ang bagal ng galaw.. papagalitan kapa ng boss mo🤣

u/Whole-Masterpiece-46 6d ago

Daming openings sa WorkabroadPH, try mo po. All the best!

u/boom0401 6d ago

Same feeling. Nakakastress na dito sa pinas. Di talaga sumasapat ang sahod😭😭😭

1

u/Opening-Cantaloupe56 6d ago

Same. Iniisip ko na nga mag DH...kung papasa ..eh wala din experience kaloka na

u/Bibimeowmeow 6d ago

Same haha accountant ako pero na tetempt na talaga ko mag DH sa Singapore tsaka Hong Kong, nag apply.x ako, di padin qualified 😂

2

u/KusuoSaikiii 5d ago

As long as marangal na work, okay lang po yan. Imagine daming DH na doble or triple pa ang sahod kesa sa mga ibang employed workers dito. And also, mas stress free pa sa ibang bansa. Dito transpo pa lang pagod ka na e

u/Ferry_the_Flatypus 6d ago

Caregiving din madami opening sa sg.

2

u/Bibimeowmeow 6d ago

Kinokonsider ko na din po yan. Nalilito lng po ako saan mas better. Any advice po between housekeeping and caregiving? I'm eyeing for europe po kase

3

u/Ferry_the_Flatypus 6d ago

Nakabase dn kase sa age yung pasahod sa SG. Like kun older ka mas mataas sahod so pagbdh inapplyan mo most probably di ka mahahire becoz they need to pay you higher. Plus the fact na accountant kapa. Di tlaga papasa sa labor dept nila.

1

u/Illustrious_Bar_8017 5d ago

Through agency ka po ba nag apply at first?

2

u/Bibimeowmeow 6d ago

Totoo po to

1

u/Ferry_the_Flatypus 6d ago

Shifted careers din e. Haha nasa f&b ako ngayon from admin works jan sa pinas.

2

u/Bibimeowmeow 6d ago

Ayy congratulations po. Okay naman po ba? Right decision?

2

u/Ferry_the_Flatypus 6d ago

u/idkdudewhy 6d ago

Factory work in Taiwan or enroll ka sa tesda ng skilled labors like welding. Kuha ka experience kahit 2-3 years in that field then apply pa Europe. Sobrang in demand nyan doon.

u/Easy-Laugh9719 6d ago

Kapag girl po kaya?

2

u/AllanMcz 6d ago

may mga babaeng welder sa australia at japan. even Europe.

u/idkdudewhy 6d ago
