[quote=Anonymous]Pay is good with a full expat package but Americans are one of the only nationalities that have their income taxed so if you are a US citizen it will feel like you are making less than your colleagues. Most salaries are in the 100k+ range. (See their salary structure here: http://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/adb-hq-is-salary-structure.pdf) Americans are under-represented so they are actively looking to hire more but you have to be a really strong fit for the position. Culture can really vary depending on your department but much of the ADB leadership is Japanese and the work culture reflects that (very hierarchical, deferential to leadership, lots of process/bureaucracy).

As pp states,if you have kids they will need to go to one of the international schools which are getting more and more expensive (and harder to get into). Manila as a whole is getting more and more expensive as more companies and expats locate there and the economy improves so while you make a good salary and benefits, if you want to live an international-level lifestyle it won't feel a lot cheaper than the States [/quote]
