10 Paid holidays + Unlimited PTO/SIL + 100% paid Health | Tech savvy VA that I can trust| Paid in Crypto | Long-term

Hi there!

I'm a blockchain engineer and consultant and am in need of a highly technical VA for a long-term partnership. I take on various types of work - such as public speaking, startup advisor, blockchain architecture, software engineering, and hacking at my own startup. I will need someone who likes the excitement of the fast-moving tech industry and compliments me Upgrade to see actual infote :: All second interviews will be paid at $3/hr for their time.

// BENEFITS //

I work in software, and my standard for fair labor is global. I will pay you fairly, treat you fairly, and above all I will respect you as a professional.

For the first year you will receive 10 paid holidays, and 15 days paid vacation. The 15 days paid vacation becomes available after three months of us working together.

Benefits schedule:
At 0-3 months (Trial period): No SIL, no paid holidays, no PhilHealth reimbursement
At 3 months : Paid holidays. Able to take up to 15 days SIL. 100% reimbursed PhilHealth
At 1 year : Paid holidays. Able to take unrestricted days SIL. 100% reimbursed PhilHealth + Private healthcare

After the first year, we will have grown to trust each other and you will have unlimited PTO/SIL - meaning that you can take time off whenever you want, as long as it is not detrimental to business/operations and scheduled in advance. In other words, I would trust you to just maintain your duties, enable others to cover you, and know when you can take some time off without it being a negative impact.

Maundy Thursday
The Day of Valor
Good Friday
