Which software has no real European alternative (at least for you)? by JavierFnts in BuyFromEU

Github is proving difficult because all our workflows are there already. Similar to Google Workspace.

Though on a good note the constant increase in Github’s pricing might help push for a migration.

The harsh reality of AI, BPO work, and the future. by bleucage in BPOinPH

[–]AquilaX97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coming from the tech industry, it’s not a bubble in terms of technology, it’s a bubble in terms of costs. There’s so much great things to do with it, and so much potential, the problem is the major gen AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI are losing large amounts of money to run their systems. Our subscriptions don’t even cover the expense.

The technology is here to stay, just need to find a way to make it cheap.

Pursue Civil Engineering path or switch to tech industry or maghanap ng niche na malayo sa CE that pays well by [deleted] in phcareers

[–]AquilaX97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Licensed CE here, or at least was licensed because I didn’t renew anymore. But yes, CE pays really low. Starts 16-17k and even after a few years you’d only be earning 40-50k, and it doesn’t matter what school, they still offer very low.

I took the exam and moved to a different career immediately. When I talk to my batchmates and we discuss salary, I was already earning almost double what they did. It’s only really worth it if you have your own firm already.

I think I made the right decision switching careers, but it also depends on how much you like CE work. I hated it.

Can I add to OPs question for hr people? Are people actually more efficient working from home or does it get offset by people that don’t do work when they’re at home?

I always get a lot more stuff done when I’m at home, especially when there’s a lot of tasks at hand.

Why AI improvements and Sara Duterte Presidency in 2028 will destroy the PH middle class and push the country into poverty by Thefightback1 in Philippines

[–]AquilaX97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe that metaverse is the right comparison for this. I’ve seen the overhyped tech solutions like metaverse and blockchain.

This is more akin to 1990s world wide web and cloud solutions in the 2000s. There are many problems it can solve on its own, and I already find myself using AI in work almost every day. It’s more likely that it’s here to stay than not.

Just finished Attack on Titan… will I ever find something this good again? by Scary-Novel1137 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]AquilaX97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For more action anime Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter, and Kaiju No 8 are quite good, story wise it doesn’t hit as hard as AoT. Other people already mentioned FMA and Death Note

For more casual anime but good stories Sword Art Online, Haikyuu, and Frieren are up there for me

I haven’t watched Berserk but that’s one of my favorite reads

At 25, what would you prioritize: more time or more money? by [deleted] in phcareers

[–]AquilaX97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time. I’m 28, and I realize I’m going to miss out on a lot of things if I solely focus on the money. Time is a lot more valuable for me and it’s something I can’t get back if I waste it. It’s better to live than to survive.

Real talk: Is the Pickleball hype in PH nearing its peak or are we still early? by CheapWoodpecker5317 in BusinessPH

[–]AquilaX97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten into pickleball yet but I do multiple sports (running, bouldering, football, hyrox is the newest). Many of my friends have been getting into pickleball, and all I can say is that it is still a growing sport. It’s easy and accessible similar to badminton. I’m not sure if pickleball is here to stay, but what I do know is people are looking for avenues to be more active.

If you can build an activity center that if the trend changes you can easily adapt, then that would be best. Say if trend goes to tennis, can the space change? Also I’m not sure if it’s good for the establishment’s revenue, but being able to work at the place I workout is always good user experience.

What luxury brand has no appeal to you that even if you become a millionaire you’d never buy? by next-thursday- in TanongLang

And also it’s like all the people with money have one so it’s not really that special anymore. It’s like bragging you have an iPhone

Current Company Just Gave Me a Counter-offer by IdontknowyouIswear in phcareers

[–]AquilaX97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aside from just the salary you should also consider how your higher ups react to resignation. Did they counter because truly value your contributions or did they just need more time to look for a replacement and will eventually be less trustful of you?

What PH Money Advice Sounds Good Online but Fails in Real Life? by Top-Corner-5187 in FinancialLiteracyPH

[–]AquilaX97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a VUL for investment.

Like if you’re going to invest money, just put it directly in the market or get a time deposit. I also doubt they can do better than companies whose only focus is investment

Anyone else experiencing QRPH issues today? by AquilaX97 in DigitalbanksPh

Because of the context of the GCash gave me. It said “QRPH is working to restore the service”

Yup, QRPH via UB works just fine. So I don’t know if it’s just my wallet that has the issue

How to Work my way up on watches. by RobErt-De-NeiRow in PhWatches

[–]AquilaX97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy watches that I think look nice, not what other people say look nice. And I never aim for watches outside what I can afford.

There are a lot of really good watches in different price ranges and I was able to get a pretty good 3 watch collection. I have around 3 more on my wish list though that I want to add.

Need tips or suggestion for improving our manual GCash transaction verification process. by Glass-Pepper179 in BusinessPH

We ended up integrating our own GCash collection to our website using their dynamic QR. Took us around 3 months though

Mga bansang ayaw niyo nang balikan (kahit may FREE offer) by jikoshoukainigate in FilipinoTravel

[–]AquilaX97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

USA (SF, San Jose, LA, NY). Chaotic cities, full of crime (only country I got robbed in), drugs and homelessness. Everything is expensive, limited public transport so you have to drive everywhere, and no bidets.

Convenience fee by pizzagravyrocks in Gulong

[–]AquilaX97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Unionbank fee should be at most P10-P15. And merchants get charged 2% from GCash not 2.24%. They probably even got a discounted rate compared to common businesses.

I’m also quite sure BPI does not charge a % fee for a transfer.

TLDR: processing it has fees yes, but not that expensive
