Topic: Question : KSA - Photographer

[mangkepwing]

mga espiya/brother natin nasa ibang bansa, nasa Middle East. tanong ko lang po kung magkano ba ang average sweldo ng isang Photographer sa karatig bansa ng pilipinas?

Work : studio Photographer
Status : 3 years + na ako as Photographer dito sa Pilipinas , gusto ko umunlad at mag try sa ibang bansa wala pa ako experience nga lang o alam .
may nagaalok sa akin sa KSA . tinatanong ako sa expected salary ang sinabi ko ay wala ako idea kaya sinabi niya "Negotiable" at tatanungin na lang niya ako ulit pag nakapagtanong na ako .

salamat sa makakasagot sa mga katanungan ko.

Bro although nandito ako sa UAE, halos parehas lang naman ang value ng pera between UAE and KSA that includes Qatar too. To answer your question, average sahod ng bagong salta without middle east experience is around 3,000 to 4,500 Dirhams that is around 30K to 50K pesos. Hindi pa kasali ang bahay and pagkain dyan.

Mas ok siguro kung tanungin mo yung nagaalok sayo kung magkano offer nila, tapos kung may accomodation na ba yon.
(place to stay plays a major role sa kikitain sa ibang bansa) Cost of accomodation in KSA is I think is much better compared to UAE which is sobrang mahal.

Syempre ang expected salary mo is based sa experience mo as photographer, or how skillful you are. Basta word of advice don't go for less than 3K riyals.

Dito sa Jeddah meron kong kakilalang Indianong Photographer. Ang alam ko nasa 2k Saudi Riyals ang basic salary nya which is di ko naitanong kung kasama naba ang food, housing and transportation dun. Maliit yun kung di pa kasama.
Pero kung bukod pa, ok na yun for starting salary lalo na kung binata ka pa naman TS. 

Requirements syempre mahusay kumuha ng photos at marunong din dapat sa photoshop pag retouch ng picture yung papalitan background at pagsasamahin yung iba-ibang picture sa isang picture. 

+ points ka TS kung may makapal kang bigote at maasim na amoy

tinalo mo pa sweldo ng first timer na engr sa middle east ah... hindi nman cguro ganyan kalaki. peace brother.

i dont know if this will help but base on my experience nag apply ako dati sa kuwait around 2007 or 2008, i cant remember the details pero asking ko is 60k ( been a pro photog since 2000) advertising studio ung inaplayan ko, briton ung nag interview, to make long story short nag tawaran kami last offer nila is 45k with housing and transpo na, kaso tinanggihan ko nalang kasi kaya naman dito sa pinas yan depende sa package ng studio na papasukan mo ( living, clothing, transpo allowance + commision per project).

but anyways it up to you TS if broadening your experience you dont need to go to other countries, Photography- you can do it anywhere, anytime, anyplace.

Good luck sayo mamen!

you mean first time engr is lower than 3k? hindi naman siguro bro. one of the big earners sa mid east are engineers though meron akong kilala na first timer pero sahod is around 3K. And if lower than 3K ang sahod mo mejo mahirap na, think about sending part of your salary to your family and part of it sa bahay and pagkain. Unless provided ng company ang accomodation and food.

Wala pa dyan, ang Branded na damit, Gadgets, Alak, at Babae. hahaha... Joke lang.... Hindi naman lahat.

Depende rin kasi sa ability and years of experience mo.

madali mo naman ma evaluate yung sarili mo kung kabisado mo na ang Industry makaka pagdemand ka na mas mataas pa sa 3K.

Personally sa 3K for me kung simple lang naman pamumuhay mo and single, pwede pa for starter and to get more experience yun nga lang limited ang maging luho mo lalo na kung mahilig kang mag upgrade ng mga gadgets mo specially camera.

pero minsan diskarte lang iyan sa interview kung paanu mo ma convince na you deserve big pay malay mo more than sa standard rates nila ang maging agreement sa contract eh di mas maganda.

Isa pa pag aralan mo yung contract maiigi yung job description and duties mo and kung naka specify duon kung excluding / including yung housing and trasportation allowance sa basic salary na offer sau.

and dapat mo rin itanung specify yung Housing accomodation, kung COMPANY ang mag provide anu yung living condition mahirap kung madami siksikan kayu sa isang kwarto and may ibang lahi pa at anung lugar/area kailangan malinaw.

lastly wag ka maniwala/pumayag sa mga promises always demand yung contract na pinagkasunduan nyo.
