Curious: For my fellow older millennials, what was your starting salary at your first job?
Mine seesawed between P12k to P15k in 2006.

first job was contractual, no benefits, 18.5k. I think it took the contract renewal for me to get a raise.

Being a feelenial (feeling millenial), I started at PhP8k. After a year I got promoted and it was increased to PhP8.8k This was in 1999. Di ko alam paano ako nabuhay noon, may padate-date pa.

13k-14,500 base pay, thereabouts. I think 14,500 was after ako naregularize iirc. 2007 at a callcenter. Wala pa diyan yung generous bonuses and night differential!

I was living pa with parents with minimal contributions to house, so that plus hindi pa ganitong recession, I was comfy af. Araw araw may Starbucks. Araw araw may gala after work.

Jewel : so truuuue. Plus when I lived in Makati it was at my tita's place so yung monthly contributions ko na 4k pilit pa at ayaw tanggapin

2008 or so, 12k, syete may onting abot sa parents saka onting allowance ng kapatid, kaya bedspacer lng ang afford, tapos karinderia, tapos mga kabatch mo na mas mababa sweldo kayang kaya maggala with shopping kasi suportado sila

Yanno this little thread had me thinking and appreciating the way I started to haggle for myself as I progressed in my career. Still, everything is so expensive now I could cry.
aaangsss✨
NKY ✅ : this was in 2009. it was pretty big given na i still lived with my parents and the office was a tricycle ride away. the lack of benefits was manageable, but the contractual nature of the job didn't foster much security with me.
aaangsss✨
NKY ✅ : true enough, our contracts didn't get renewed 2 years into the job. they'd contact me again several months later, but I'd already signed a contract for my current job.
Pusa-Cat!
10k sa marketing in 2006
PJC
P12k monthly + sales bonuses in 2005
NKY ✅
Pusa-Cat! : PJC : It looks like our rates were pretty standard back in the day. Can you imagine P5k to P6k every two weeks in today's economy? Yikes.
