Pros and Cons of Programmers working abroad

[javapenguin]

Fellow programmers, can you share your opinion why you decided to work abroad or why you decided to stay?

for me much better jed ad2 sa gawas work becoz of money...cgoro mga 5 to 10 years work sa gawas then after wards kon naa naka money uli sa pinas quit programming works and have a business that which less hassle...

Nindot unta ug naa ra ta pinas unya maka earn pareha sa abroad rate, pwede ba kaha mag organize ta ug programming team diri cebu para mo cater sa IT need sa gawas? kanang suweldo sa programmer ma abot ug basin 150K - 200K ang buwan.

@ javapenguin.. that would be a good idea, if ever maka organize ka just let me know.. willing to be part.

the only cons is that you are far from your loved ones.

dako kaau market sa gawas oi... if you become practical enough and swallow all your pride did2 jud kas gawas. layo ra kaau deperinsya diri sa pinas hehehe... hinoon bayran imong ka "lonely" og kwarta...

di biya jud ana ka taas lifespan sa mga programmers so dapat ang equation nato is

money / time = success

eheheh

My father is American and I grew up as a kid here so yeah, it wasn't really a choice. If I had a decent job that gave a decent life in the Philippines, I probably wouldn't mind staying there. For want of more money, some people forget how good they have it in the Philippines.
