Should I move to Manila for a ₱700/hour university job?
I currently live in the province, and I was recently offered a teaching position at a university in Metro Manila with a rate of ₱700 per hour. While I’m grateful for the opportunity, I’m honestly hesitant to accept because of the high cost of living in the city. Rent, transportation, food, utilities, and other daily expenses can add up quickly, and I’m not sure if the compensation would be enough to maintain a comfortable and financially stable lifestyle.
For those who have moved from the province to Manila for work, do you think this rate is worth it considering the living expenses? I’d really appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
