Hi there!
I received a job offer from 2 different company in Port Moresby and Lae and I'm still in a week of process of package negotiation.
I can consider working in this country but I don't know the salary range for supervisory and managerial position?
I'm in the field of engineering professional with 13+ years of experience.
What would be the decent monthly salary range should I say or accept?
accommodation, water/electric bills, and transportation will be covered by the company.
Australian, Canadian, US, Euro, etc expot are welcome to reply!
Hope to hear from you
I need help on actual salary range

As a civil superintendent with 40 + years experience who has worked in PNG off and on, I can get a net salary of $16,000 per month on a 6 week on 2 week off roster with all flights back home paid for by employer. Medical insurance, accommodation etc covered by employer.
I have to pay my own superannuation contributions out that amount
Engineers get around $10,000 per month. Remember that taxes are high in PNG, same rate as Australia.
As you are a Filipino I think you will be offered less money as you will not be classed as an expatriate but as a TCN, Third Country National.

$10,000 will be fair enough. What's the percentage in tax in PNG?

Around 30%.
Your salary as a TCN would be around between $4000 and $6000 net after tax.

30% is quite big. Fair enough for minimum $10,000 + less tax + expenses...
got the job already
