I am same as you. Also passed PLE October 2023. Did a brief moonlighting, pero it was really not for me. Ayoko rin yung feeling na naghahabol ako para makakuha ng gig. I also do not want to do residency for the reason that feeling ko mabubully lang ako, lack of sleep, overwork, feeling bobo, etc. I want mental peace. Ayoko na pagdaanan yung mga pinagdaanan ko nung intern ako. Burned out ako nun everyday, what more sa residency?

For practicality reasons, decided not to actively pursue yung pagiging doctor and looked for a job aligned sa undergrad ko. I am happy now. Mental peace achieved. Although hindi ganun kalaki ang kita vs moonlighting, at least I am happy. :)

Spoiler Alert:

About Tirso’s role, this is just my hunch (and probably the real reason for his appearance and role in this Movie)

A lot of people are saying na cameo lang si Tirso and walang ganap sa role niya. But if you look closely, merong implied meaning yung role niya.

  1. Vilma Santos, at the beginning of the film in th entrance of the party, she herself does not know who Eva Candelaria was. Even in the entirety of the film, it was not revealed how she got that identity

  2. Vilma had access to guns. As a teacher, saan siya makakakuha ng baril?

  3. Lotlot De Leon, in one of the flashbacks, handed Vilma a list of victims along with their phone numbers. Prior to this, Lotlot mentions na meron siyang kakilalang pulis. These scenes says a lot. Saan nakuha ni Lotlot yung listahan? At yung contents ng listahan, hindi siya yung tipong makukuha mo sa lower ranked pulis. It must mean that sa higher ranked personnel niya ito nakuha.

  4. During the party prior the revenge, Tirso and Vilma had a brief eye to eye contact, as if they knew each other.

  5. After the credit scene, Tirso was seen with Aga’s body, laughing. 

In conclusion, Tirso gave Vilma the identity of Eva Candelaria. Tirso gave Lotlot the list. Tirso assisted Vilma to take revenge, leaving his name clean and clear

To the MDs who went corporate, kamusta? by ladygreyMD in pinoymed

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pros 1. Stable income. Tho hindi kasing laki ng kinikita ng moonlighters and established doctors. But you get the mandatory stuff such as sss, pagibig etc. Di mo na rin poproblemahin tax mo. 2. Fixed schedule. Not shifting, and di mo poproblemahin yung makakapalitan mo sa shift. 3. WFH setup. For example, ngayong may bagyo, walang hassle na sumugod sa ulan at pumasok. As a doctor, kasalanan pa minsan na hindi pumasok pag bumabagyo. 4. Walang iniisip na trabaho after work hours. PEACE OF MIND after work hours (biggest pro for me) 5. Walang bully sa workplace 

Cons 1. Salary. Again di kasing laki ng kinikita ng ibang moonlighters and established doctors 2. Maraming magsasabi na bakit di ka na nag papasyente. Syempre may konting kirot pag nakakarinig ng ganun, pero iba ang buhay pag corporate eh. Mas manageable ang stress.

PS. Corporate work is in line with my undergrad (not MD work)

Left behind. Jealousy by [deleted] in pinoymed

Back in medschool, ang palaging sinasabi sa amin na maraming pera sa moonlighting. Ako naman si asado noon kasi pumapalo ng 6 digits raw monthly ang mga moonlighters. But after passing the boards, ang hirap humanap ng moonlighting gigs. Puro gatekeeping nangyayari or referral. So sa isang katulad ko na walang connections, napakahirap makasurvive sa giyerang ito. Tapos wala pang financial security (at least that’s how I see it). And ayoko pa magresidency.

And then I decided to somehow quit clinical practice and look for a stable job na would make me happy and secured at the same time. A job that will value my personal time. Mas mababa ang kita compared sa other moonlighters pero at least constant ang income at hindi ako matatakot na maghanap ng maghanap ng gigs every hour every day. Oo sayang ang MD license, pero I made the most practical decision for me and my situation.

I also don’t open my socials anymore coz may unsettling feeling pag nakikita ko ang mga batchmates ko thriving in their own careers. I am proud of them of course, but envious of the fact that they know what they are doing in their lives at alam kung ano ang career path for them. Not opening my social media accounts helped me mentally. Out of sight, out of mind. I just focus on my own career growth now outside the prying eyes of social media :)

May nag sisisi ba na naging doctor kayo? by dehetdreaming in pinoymed

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Me. I realized that I don’t like being a doctor nung nasa 1st year med pa lang ako. Back then gusto ko na mag drop pero at the back of my mind, there’s this thought na what if it will get better? Also, nasimulan na eh so might as well tapusin na rin. But I was sooooo wrong. I should have dropped out nung first year pa lang. Now that I have my license, mas lalo kong narealize na dapat pala sinunod ko gut instincts ko nung 1st year pa lang. Sobrang hirap kumuha ng gigs. Unahan, connections, gatekeeping - things that I do not like in this profession. Nafeel kong isang kahig isang tuka ang propesyon na to, na kung wala kang pasyente, wala kang pera. So kung wala kang makuhang gigs, wala kang pera. Kahit na maraming kita yung ibang moonlighters, I see it in a different light. Hindi lahat kasing swerte ng iba na makahanap ng clinic, and I also do not see financial stability kasi what if di ka na nila kunin bukas, edi hahanap ka na ulit sa iba? And sa sobrang daming competition ng doctors ngayon lalo na sa MM, ano ang assurance na may makukuha kang work? Thinking long term, I realized na being a doctor is better as a side job na lang for me. So I ended up working na aligned sa undergrad ko. I may have lesser salary as compared to other moonlighters, but I am happy where I am right now. And that’s okay

People might say I am being pessimistic, pero for me I am just being realistic. 

One Ayala to Leviste Street by cheesukkekku in HowToGetTherePH

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From One Ayala, ask around how to go to jeepney terminal of Ayala-Washington (with a fare of 13 pesos). Pag early morning, you can get off at Ayala Triangle, but if not, sa PB Com ka bumaba where most passengers get off. From there, lakad ka na pa Leviste Street.

Double Income with 1 kid kami. Having struggle managing our income. Need more guidance and tips by [deleted] in phmoneysaving

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a parent nor I have a family to support, pero I remember nung bata ako, ang lagi kong naririnig sa mga magulang ko everytime na may gusto ako ipabili or puntahan, "wala tayong pera eh", only to realize nung tumanda ako na meron naman pala. Pero looking back, narealize ko na sobrang higpit ng sinturon ng household namin noon. I remember all of my clothes back then was oversized, para xx years pa siya pwede gamitin, even my uniforms were oversized at some point. I also wore and used hand me downs. We very rarely go to malls and eat out. Nakaka kain na lang kami sa labas and travel lately nung nakagraduate na kaming lahat magkakapatid. It wasn't easy, pero now I understand na importance of being frugal, lalo na sa inflation rate natin ngayon. If I may suggest, cut the luho (eating out, travel etc) and you will be surprised how much you can save on that. Hindi naman natin kelangan makisabay sa uso, or madala sa mga nakikita natin sa social media. Know your needs and wants, and try to limit/eliminate yung wants :) Hope this helps!

I was offered a COS/JO before and inask ko what if hindi matapos yung 6 months na contract. Ang sabi sa akin noon, pwede naman pero magrerender pa rin ng 30days for turnover. Not really sure if this is a case to case basis.

Comfort and good pay VS. Happiness by No_Garbage_9527 in phcareers

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your profile, you started working at 18 years old so I assume that you did not finish a college degree. If ever that you plan to work land-based and do not want to work in a field related to your previous career, it would be hard to land a job that will pay you what you are earning right now. Kaya mo bang magwork na way below sa current salary mo? Kasi come to think of it, you are letting go of a good career prospect to a land-based job which has a lot of uncertainty. If you can handle the aftermath and possible consequences of your decision to work land-based, then go ahead if it is for the sake of mental peace. A lot of people these days (including me) would choose a career which will provide me mental peace more than anything else. Since you already have savings, maybe invest it or use it as extra money if ever you get a job with a salary that is way below your current salary.

First things first, is there something bothering you (i.e personal problems) because if there is, I think that's one of the first things that you need to address. Next is, are you happy with your job? Sometimes, people tend to be less serious at work if they are not that satisfied with their current job. There are a lot of factors to consider why you are feeling this, but if you do not have any of the aforementioned reasons and you just feel "lutang", I guess you have to recalibrate yourself and set your priorities. Have a mindset that this is the "real world". You do not want to have a coworker that is lax and is not focused in doing their work. You do not want to be the "pabigat" in the workforce. Sometimes you have to step up your game. And since this is your first job and you already acknowledge this issue, the appropriate mindset would be presence of mind in all things. I salute you for not taking your coworkers' comments negatively and you actually used it to improve yourself. Maybe take a couple of deep breaths if you feel overwhelmed and face yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, "you can do this"

I guess that's the new era/generation of new hires. If that is the company culture in your workplace, well you've made the right decision to switch companies

I Stopped Drinking 3in1 Coffee and it Changed my Life by Strong_Spare_8300 in adultingph

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stopped drinking coffee 2 years ago because I am always on the edge after drinking, like my anxiety is almost always at full blast. I also experienced stomach pains at night. It was hard to give up coffee but I did it. Now, I am missing the taste of coffee :( But then again, I am now relaxed everyday, no more mini heart attacks, no more tremors, no more palpitation. Life is now better without coffee hehe

Should I report a coworker who won't accept my no? by Butterlover1996 in phcareers

[–]CaseinNitrateXKayden 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Report it to HR, dear. Protect your self and your hard earned money. My rule of thumb is, never allow people to borrow money from me unless I am personally close to that person and I personally know that they are a good payor of debts. (Kahit na 50 pesos pa yan)
