HELP / RECOMMEND hould I accept a ₱15k programmer job or keep looking?

35 Upvotes

** **I graduated with a BS in Computer Science a month ago and recently received my third job offer.

Job details:
• ₱15k/month
• Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM
• 35 minutes commute each way by motorcycle
• Davao City, so no relocation needed

I believe I have a solid resume, with good project with actual user

I’ve been getting around 2 interviews per week, on average. My other two offers were also below ₱20k but required relocation, so I declined them.

I’m considering accepting this job to gain experience while continuing to apply elsewhere. However, I’m worried that the long working hours will leave me with little time or energy for applications and interviews.

Should I accept the offer and leave when I find something better, or decline it and focus on finding a better-paying developer job?

Am I being too picky as a fresh graduate, or is it reasonable to aim higher given my current interview opportunities?

hello mga ka braces warriors d’yan na nasa province ang dentist!

is it true ba na you can ask for certificate from your dentist para makalipat ka ng other clinic na hindi na mag mag go back from the start (like for ex: you paid 75k sa previous clinic mo for braces and then by the certificate you can give it to your new clinic para hindi kana mag go back from the start sa braces mo)

wala na din kase talaga akong plan na umuwi sa province every month, kaya please help 🙏🙏

PLACES Jur Skin Body and Face Station SM Eco

Honestly, this was one of the worst waxing experiences I've had.

The staff kept sighing throughout the session, and I felt like she was annoyed with me the entire time. The waxing was also really painful, and there were moments when I felt like she was being careless. I know Brazilian waxes aren't exactly comfortable, but this felt worse than it needed to be.

The place itself didn't feel very clean either, and the towels looked old and worn. That already made me uncomfortable, especially considering the type of service I was getting.

What really put me off was that the staff seemed to snicker when I didn't leave a tip. Like, why would I tip after an experience like that?

I don't expect a waxing session to be painless, but I do expect the staff to be professional and make the experience as comfortable as possible. Instead, I left feeling judged and disappointed.

Definitely not coming back. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this salon?

HELP / RECOMMEND people/shops who make full aquarium setups in davao city?

2 Upvotes

so far, i only found maizen aquarium builders, oyeee petshop, and RJL aquarium maker. sa facebook ko lang sila nakita. i'm searching for more so that i can compare my choices

for any suggestions, preferrably yung may experience with the full setup na talaga (aquarium, aquarium stand, filter, etc.). and yung magaling din sana gumawa

my last 50gal fish tank "exploded", as in a chunk of glass cracked away, and all my fish didn't make it kasi i was away on vacation. so to rule out low quality as the cause of that disaster, again, i would very much appreciate it if experienced ang gumawa

thank you in advance!

HELP / RECOMMEND Any suggestions for BPO industry?

1 Upvotes

I've been accepted to 611 as a trainee but never proceeded to be an agent because of an absent during the nesting period. I got accepted in iqor and ibex, but sadly, lanang site is too far away from me (taga south). I have sutherland and transcom on my list. I'm a first time jobseeker, i don't have a lot of knowledge about different companies. Salary is a big deal for me kay i'm living in survival mode. Can you recommend any bpo company that's generous with the pay? or a company with 18k a month?
