What the backend engineer ads show
Offers for backend engineer jobs in the Philippines are spread wide: the upper-quarter line (₱106,991) is 7.1 times the lower-quarter line (₱15,000), with the median (₱71,250) near the middle of that band. Ads bunch on one figure: ₱15,000 to ₱15,999 alone accounts for 28% of them. The mix of job boards changed from September, so this month's figure is not compared with the last.
