Singaporean or Filipino Manager? There's a big difference talaga
Post Body

Hello, help me choose between the two. I am really torn between these two offers
Background: 5 years Project Manager
Industry: IT and Telco

Job A

Expected Salary: 200k
Industry: FMCG
Job: Technical Project Manager
Manager: Filipino
Work Setup: 4 days WFH, 1 day Office, Philippines Interview Notes:

  • Will revamp their processes since there’s no system in place
  • Manager doesn’t believe in Project Management and only see it as a common sense skill
  • Manager doesn’t know any jargons of project management and doesn’t know any project management framework
  • Manager came from technical to becoming a manager handling people and process
  • Current Situation of Management: Have no systematic processes
  • Once hired, I committed to make a relevant PM best practices by standardizing workflows (but I'm up for the challenge so much)
  • Already in the process of JO (recruiter is asking for my payslips before proceeding JO but we already agreed on an expected salary range. Kinda weird)
  • Might travel to SEA for project assignments

Job B

Expected Salary: 220k
Industry: Telecommunications
Job: Project Manager
Manager: Singaporean
Work Setup: 2 days WFH, 3 days Office, Philippines (will require more travel as this needs client interfacing)
Interview Notes:

  • Product portfolio of the company is exactly the same as my previous experience
  • Manager will be a Singaporean CTO
  • He knows the difference between a pure PM and a technical PM
  • He threw situational questions in the interview which made me thought a lot. Napaisip talaga ako sa mga tanong niya
  • Not yet final since final interview will be tomorrow but somehow confident that I'll get the job

Honestly, I'm torn between the two since work setup (hybrid, 4x WFH, 1 RTO) is crucial to me but I also realize that I'm going to thrive in Telco industry since it's my background from the start of my career. But I also want to venture into another industry and want the challenge, I'm so torn. But I want to be compensated well haha. Nalilito na'ko.

Edit: Both offers will work in the Philippines. I’ll be assigned to the Philippine Market
