Going rates for programmers in Cebu or SG?

[MarkCuering]

It depends. I prefer working with devs who have a broad skillset.

I'd rather work with a competent dev who knows C++, PHP, and Python than with a senior dev who only knows C and nothing else.

Narrow perspective = project disaster

Hmmm.. I respect your opinion, however in my side I strongly disagree hehehe… and agree with the line narrow perspective = project disaster. But not in terms of how many programming languages you know or must use in dev. And I don’t think someone here knows only nothing but C. kung BASIC, COBOL or PASCAL meron cguro but very rare. Programming languages are easy if you started in C.

Having skillset of C++, PHP & Python is somehow not good for me. PHP was designed to grow in World Wide Web application. And I discourage to learn php if your professional tracks are not in web development.

C, C++ & Python are excellent combination. In fact, learning Python gives you advance understanding in C++. I’ve tested on this…even worked on it for a bit sometime now. Of course, I still admire those people who really keen working in VB, C#, and JAVA.

And here lies our irreconcilable differences. Why discourage someone from learning something new? Why limit yourself from reaching your true potential? So what if you're not in to Web development? Is learning PHP bad?

I suggest that you open another topic, related to programming languages. Might be interesting and will not change this topics subject...

Its not bad... especially if you have plenty of time to invest and found some future on it.
sometimes in order to master something is to limit the other thing. excluding dun sa mga genius hehehe... cheers.... OT OT OT....

Again and for the last time: Please open your own thread when you want to discuss something unrelated to the OP's question.

If aim mo po ang Web Development side at ang target mo ay singapore. Go for .NET technology / JAVA / Solaris / AIX / Oracle. Sad to say, don’t go open source they haven’t adopt it yet especially PHP, MySQL, Linux, Unix and Apache, although some small companies are using but expect lesser salary range.

Lately some IT Tech. company here launches their product developed under Web 2.0 concepts. So its quite good to know these things in advance like AJAX , which they said that it replaces the underlying protocols like HTTP, but criticized by few professionals that it only adds additional layer of abstraction. However, I notice that some companies now, begun seeking to work on this field.

Usually salary range in web developers dito: take note that this is starting salary only.

Jr. Level SGD1200-SGD1900 (1 to 2 years)
Mid-Level SGD200-SGD2500 (3 to 5 years)
Sr.Level SGD2500-SGD3500 (more than 5 years)

Ang kalaban mo sa pag-aaply ang local Singaporeans, and Malaysians. Kc tumatanggap sila ng SGD900 to SGD1200. pero swerte2x lang talga. Maraming IT d2 sa sg. One reason or things they like about filipinos is that we can speak and communicate English fluently… hindi kagaya ng mga locals d2 na pag nagsalita takip na ang ilong ko hehehe.. at known tayo sa pagiging hardworker at more on job accomplishments.

Medyo mababa ang increment dito ranges lang ng SGD50-SGD100 per year. But sa bunoses medyo mataas. Some company give 2-5 months some are 7-9 months. medyo mahirap if through agencies…kc marami barako dyn sa atin. But before accepting jobs in Singapore you should consider the lifestyle here. Sobrang mahal ng accommodation dito. If you have plan or pending jobs…you can contact me and ask more detailed advice.

Hope this helps…

[playlife]

nindut gyud ang freelance..but mas maayo gyud nang naa work also kay by the time mo abot naka sa imong retirement age or kanang gi arthritis na imong tudlo or hanap na imong panan-aw nya dili naka maka code..luoy au ka kay wala kay pension since wala gabayad ug SSS ang freelancer..unless siguro if kanang ila gibayaran ilang kaugalingon didto sa SSS which is very rare for a freelancer to do..hehe..
