Key factors that affect where a salary lands
The ranges above are market benchmarks, not fixed rates. Where a specific offer falls depends on:
• Industry sector and company type (multinational vs. local, startup vs. established)
• Location — Metro Manila (Makati, BGC, Ortigas) vs. Cebu vs. provincial
• Remote vs. onsite arrangements — remote-capable roles often attract a premium
• Demand scarcity — roles in FinTech engineering, cloud, and cybersecurity command above-range salaries
• Benefits package — health card coverage, leave credits, HMO for dependents, and allowances all form part of total compensation
