High paying jobs in TT

[ek4ever]

Ok tuners....need some advice....have a friend living in the US considering returning to TT because of all the economic uncertainties there. He has a 1st degree from Penn State and MBA from Wharton's in the area of finance and about 3 yrs work experience.

Now I'm not aware of this sector in TT but I told him I don't think the financial sector pays too well here, given that he's currently making about U$75000 per year which is not much in NY. I suggested that to live comfortable here in TT...afford a house, car, savings, have money for vacations etc., he's looking at approx TT$50,000 per month. Is this realistic???

[ek4ever]

^^ I was just saying $50,000 given the cost of houses and everything else....but like I said that's just my thought on it....I don't work in the financial sector so I don't know what they pay

Ok....let's try another way....what would he be looking at? I already told him not to come back here but apparently things really hard up there and the weather not helping

thanks for the feedback....like I already told him...it's better he fight up and stay in the US or look at other places in the Caribbean where banking/financial services are more developed

[tr1ad]

Cayman.

[ek4ever]

^^ yup

[Maserati]

if he has a job and $75k USD is not bad at all! why risk such a change?
cold/bad weather comes and goes tell him to man up

[tr1ad]

orrrr cayman is part of the caribbean?

[crazybalhead]

50K is very unrealistic here in T&T only bog boys like Devrat and Crossdrilled make that kind of salary as far as I know.

[ase_tt]

Yeah dude...tell him stop actin like a lil girl....and stick it out...best advice is bank in the cayman islands...

d man seh 50k not 1.6k

I'm sure you don't need 50k a month to _live_ in Trinidad. I know a good few people that returned here from NY and found themselves back into the groove of things with relative ease. It's no picnic out there right now man and while you may perceive it as "crazy" to come back here, it is a smart option in a good bit of cases.
I'm not sure what you mean by the financial sector, but there are a few very successful accountants and investors in the country that could probably make half if not the entire blown-out-of-proportion estimate you gave your friend. He'd have to come back and make himself some contacts and the sooner he does it is the sooner he'd be able to get on his feet. If he has _any_ savings, which I'd assume he has given his field, he should be able to build himself a float period where he can survive without working for a period of time - time he'd spend making contacts and scouting jobs.

d man seh 50k not 1.6k

he would get $3000TT which is almostr equivalent to 50,000 yen

[buzz]

and here i washin car for $5 all dis time ?

[honda hoe]

ur friend mite leave over there to come here to make TT$75000/yr instead

Your friend should give his resume to a head hunter with the type of job he is looking at.

But one can make that in commissions so if he want to hustle he can.

But the same reasons he wants to move has caused that sector to get real tough-so he has to come good.

The man can do well if he accepts 15-20 000.

Thats enough to get what he needs and build.

The local financial sector does not have the scale to offer that SALARY to a mid level employee.
The numbers not there.
