Tips for Salary Negotiation in the Philippines
- Know your number first — research before you interview, not during
- Aim high but realistic — ask for 15–20% above your minimum acceptable offer
- Consider the full package — HMO, 13th month, performance bonuses, and WFH setup allowances all add value beyond base pay
- Don't name a number first — let the employer make the first offer when possible
- It's always OK to ask — 80% of employers in the Philippines expect candidates to negotiate
