#tech jobs

For some, the terms "high-paying" and "entry-level" when referring to jobs might not be the best match of words. Yet a recent study by e-commerce platform iPrice showed that entry-level jobs related to digital and technology fields earn incomes relatively higher than minimum wage levels in the Philippines. The same study observed, however, that if financial independence is the aim, even top entry-level digital jobs may not be able to afford them. Using data available from Payscale, the iPrice study found junior IT technicians averaging at PHP 15,000 per month. See the following average incomes for other entry-level tech jobs. However, iPrice noted that the average monthly rent for one bedroom apartment in five major central business districts (CBDs) in Metro Manila would be around PHP 32,500, higher than any of the digital-related entry-level jobs earlier mentioned, and nearly triple the minimum wage. Perhaps on a brighter note, landing a tech job in this economy appears to have good prospects. According to online education technology (EdTech) company Refocus, digital-related jobs are in-demand.
