How possible is it for someone with an I.T background networking etc to find a job, I have looked on some forums and wondered if I could partner with a Filipino who was looking to start an I.T business, any suggestions.
I know the pay may not be great but then cost of living is not a ridiculous as it is here.
LETS CALL TIME OUT HERE..... I lived with my family for 13 years in the Philippines... and yes its a wonderful place if you have the income to support yourself and your family, and provide a decent life style with all of the modern conveniences etc etc...

You will need to earn about 100,000 pesos per month to live comfortably in Manila. Keep in mind also that the Philippines has many very very well qualified IT people.. Sorry but unless you can bring something truly exceptional to the table... you will not stand a chance of finding employment.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH and get back to reality... the last thing you want is to end up on the distressed Brits list in the PI and be the subject of a whip around at the chamber of commerce meetings for a return air ticket...
