How is university outflow for IT skills in the Philippines?
Hi everyone. Nice to e-meet you all. Pretty new to this sub Reddit and reading for several weeks now. So it’s time to share some thoughts and maybe stumble upon like minded people.
My wife and I are both Europeans. She works as HR manager and I worked in roles like IT- and innovation manager for both government as the private sector. For the past 3 years I work at a US Big Tech company. We are planning for a sabbatical that could well end up in a migration to the Philippines. We both love the country from our holiday experiences. We are not the types that book a resort, but travel and stay amongst the locals btw.
Why Philippines? Well, I know myself. I’m now talking about a sabbatical, but within the first 3 months I’ll probably start working on a next business project. I have some ideas still laying around to explore. For a side business I was involved in, I have had some good experiences with Philippines VA’s. Good work ethics, English speaking and eager to learn. And yes. Probably not every Philipino is like this. But that goes also for Europeans.
One of my ideas is about offshore IT for which it is critical to have access to talented IT people.
So I was wondering how PH is evolving from IT perspective? Second, I would love to meet expats that are active in the IT sector to share thoughts and ideas with.
Best, Danny.
