The best way to find the actual problem is to borrow a deskstop machine from your coworkers and use that in your next project. And then see if that makes any difference.

If not, then there is certainly wrong with your workflow and/or you need to evaluate your working speed.

While it is not correct for superiors to stay ignorant of what it takes to come up with a 3d image and the efforts that goes with it - it also helps to understand that your boss simply has problems expressing what indifferent clients might say.

Most of the times - paying clients do not care if you haven't slept for four days - all they would care about is the image they require. So there you go, its not just you if that can even make you feel better.

With regards to the pay, I cannot comment on the going rate in that part of the globe because I haven't lived there, but I think that even if you get a lesser salary in the Philippines - the thought of being in your homeground with the family is still priceless and uncomparable.

If I were you and I feel being taken for a ride, I'd make two choices: I'd move somewhere else (someplace they'll give me a real machine and an equal opportunity) or give the Philippines a second chance again. I'll probably choose the latter.

Goodluck!

It's not wrong to ask for what you deserve but it doesn't mean that "What Pedro receives, Juan must also receive"

Why?

If Pedro is a master of his craft and Juan is an inferior pedro wannabee, I doubt employers in their good minds will even pay Juan the same amount they pay Pedro. Its just not fair.

So the bottomline of all bottomlines:

Your work will speak for itself - that's the gauge.

If you know someone who gets paid gazillions and he pump excellent images - do not envy or cry foul in the name of the motherland, pag-aralan mo estilo nya, learn from him and be good or even better than him.

Once you are able to achieve that - iparada mo ngayon iyang images mo and ask for what you really deserve.

I've interviewed people who speak like they know what they talk about, ask more salary than I can ever receive yet the protfolio was like the abomination!
