I'm thinking about making the move and I want to know what type of pay I can expect. Anyone that can help me out with some rough numbers would be of great help to me....Thanks in advance!

Salary Question?
RD$15-25,000 (US$400-650) monthly.
Providing you are fully bilingual. You have a lot of competition in this area as many companies offer outsourced customer services here.
To earn US$1,000 plus monthly you need to be exceptional with years of experience!

I have come across people that offer tech support, phone call assistance and even live translation services and none have come close to earning US$1,000 monthly.
This is what I was told Verizon was paying a few months ago to do their customer support.
Excellent language skills with no accent : RD$55-60/hr
With Latin accent: RD$39/hr
Training: RD$19.5/hr
Even if your good, your looking at US$1.60hr.
Unless you are in a very niche market, you are wasting your timing coming here looking for work in the customer service area.
It only makes sense if you own a business and want to lower your overheads by paying peanuts.

hmmm, must be lucky
I just came back from visiting a friend down in Santo Domingo, and he makes between 10,000 and 15,000 pesos a week, and gets his apartment and utilities taken care of. He doesn't even have a college education. There have got to be other jobs in Santo Domingo like his for intelligent english speakers.

The only "jobs" I have been offered promeising over $1000.oo (much over actually) a month were comission based sales jobs.
You may get lucky and run a big hotel based on your managing skills and languages and make that kind of money, but getting lucky is not exactly a career, now is it?
