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