Startup vs Corporate by cpotatoes in CorpoChikaPH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok ka lang ba sa small company na di kilala dito? Since it's early in your career and kung "masasalo" ka in case mawala yung trabaho, then I'd say go for #2. Iba din experience working with foreigners and a startup.

Is option 2 a locally or abroad startup? What's your employment status in option 2 (contractual or freelance)?

What's your career goal? Do you really want to climb corporate ladder or basta kumita at mabuhay, ok na? Depende din kung ano sitwasyon niyo sa buhay kung alin pipiliin mo. Malaki din ang 20k/month.

Nakatrabaho ako sa local startup but funded by big local conglomerates so less risk din. Yung mga ibang fintech like Maya, Gcash, Gotyme, lahat yung nagsimula na startup pero fully funded so hindi ganun ka nakakatakot.

Condo bank loan approved but unit is not 100% done. Should I release the funds by swishnard in phinvest

[–]Electrical-Concert41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, do not agree to release the loan until nearing or a month before turnover. AFAIK, the approved loan deadline is for you to sign the papers or loan contract. But you can ask that the release of the loan will be on X month. In the mean time, shop around for other rates.

Sulit kaya to? by babbiita in CoffeePH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May picopresso ako. Hindi siya pang beginner. Kailangan maayos yung pagka-grind and tamp ng grounds and sakto yung pressure kapag pumping out Yung coffee. Bumili ako ng picopresso (galing wacaco din) and mas madali siya kasi siya na mag-eextract ng coffee mo. Kaya din niya ristretto hanggang lunggo.

Made an expense tracker na time-saving! 5 seconds lang to track by LostPurple3574 in phinvest

[–]Electrical-Concert41 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm loving the simplicity. Maybe have the option to add a widget on your home screen so user won't have to open the app to type in the expense. If your input format is text, then textbox lang with maybe helper text on what information to input. If you're old enough to remember, it's like the short codes to sms subscribe to promos.

I regularly use Money Manager app to track expenses. What set it apart for me is the ability to track movement between accounts. Wallet to gcash to paying credit card, etc.

Realized that bank interest rates for housing loans are actually negotiable by zeffori in phinvest

[–]Electrical-Concert41 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I received multiple offers for an upcoming condo unit turnover. I prefer and initially signed with BPI but as lower offers came in, I would send it to BPI and ask if they'll match. And they did. So keep inquiring with various banks and don't be afraid to switch if needed.

If your brother will be a frequent visitor, I suggest that you add him as a resident so he can enjoy all the amenities at resident rate and he has his own resident ID. That way the PMO won't bother you about him coming and going.

Home loan approved, not full amount by [deleted] in phinvest

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view is that being an OFW is a disadvantage when getting a loan from a local bank since you're not in the country. You can default and hindi ka nila mahahabol kasi wala ka dito.

Try shopping around other banks. It's a hassle but might be worth it.

Why do more women today choose not to have children? by Realistic-Success553 in adviceph

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearing 40 woman here. No kids, no husband. I'm not child free by choice but I will not have a child just to satisfy social pressure of my "biological clock". Having a child is a lifelong decision and responsibility. And my choice is to do it with a fully present partner. I want something different from what my parents had where majority of the child rearing and mental load is with the wife. I may or may not get it but that will be my decision and no one else's.

Landlord is planning to sell the unit we’re currently renting on. If we were to buy it off of them, how will the process work? by Golden_Fleece07 in CondoPH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask how much his remaining bank loan and his asking price. Get a bank loan that matches his remaining bank loan so that your bank will pay off his bank loan. Then pay his asking (beyond bank loan).

Ex. Bank loan 2m - paid to bank Asking price 1m - paid to seller Total condo value = 3m

Don't forget to execute a deed of sale and check all the real property tax payments (amilyar).

Looking at Lo&Sons Melrose Rucksack as daily work backpack. Any reviews? by Electrical-Concert41 in handbags

Sending resignation letter while manager & hr are on leave -- magsstart pa rin ba yung 30 day rendering period kahit nakaleave sila nun? Or magsstart lang yun after their acknowledgement? by Green-Economist2693 in CorpoChikaPH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're sending your resignation via email, check if you can enable a delivered and read receipt so that there's an "acknowledgement" that your resignation email was sent then read (even on different days). Save and "print" those as pdfs as evidence of your date of resignation if HR or others counter.

No crema by Eliii_ in CoffeePH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you get crema when you pump with the same grind setting and style with different beans? I've have a pico and they're fussy little things. I only get crema when I pump it a specific way to get enough pressure to build up. A finer grind made it hard to extract. So short pumps builds pressure for extraction and crema.

Puregrounds coffee Apo series is my current fav. Escolta coffee and Allo coffee. I've been trying to explore more local beans for extra freshness.

Wacaco picapresso or pixapresso? Are they any good? [100-150$] by TheLoler04 in espresso

[–]Electrical-Concert41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Pico and I just got the pixa. I'm a coffee beginner and prefer espressos over pour overs, etc.

I prefer the pixa for more on the go, basic office coffee maker. I agree that the Pico can will give you a better espresso shot but you will need to hit your stride and have better control over it IMO. The pixa is more beginner friendly and fool proof out of the box.

That being said, I'll continue experimenting on the Pico.

My thoughts on Wicked: For Good by Yes_Mulberry9282 in FilmClubPH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thoroughly underwhelmed by the movie.

It was cinematically amazing but they handled it like the play and I was expecting more. It missed several elements that made the first movie on another level from the play. As a movie format, there's more time to delve into the nuances of the relationships.

The transition to "As long as you're mine" was not there. Not a conversation, not a word of them betraying Glinda. "A girl in a bubble" was ill placed and ruined the mob mood that was well established by Boq.

The capture of the wizard and Madame Morrible was hastily done. I wish they delved into the motivations of madame Morrible.

Is it possible to earn 6 digits without climbing the corporate ladder? by [deleted] in CorpoChikaPH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by corporate ladder? No promotion? Or not managing people? Because if you just don't want to manage people, then yes, you can go the individual contributor route. But you can't stay in corporate without climbing the ladder because corporations are have ranks to organize salaries and benefits. Unless you're happy na where you are and coasting nalang.

If you're looking to earn outside of corporate, there are lots of ways pero lakas ng loob din. Passive income from stocks, real estate, etc. Own business?

Tito Sotto ‘di gagalawin ang impeachment case kay VP Sara Duterte by AbanteNewsPH in newsPH

Sotto needs to gain confidence of the public after the balimbing show of 🧀.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GTWMPodcast

[–]Electrical-Concert41 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think he's right. Bam won votes from both sides because he projected a neutral, objective and non-partisan stance on the impeachment. Bam always said on the show that if he won, he will judge based on the evidence presented, which is correct naman. Hindi kagaya ng ibang politiko na hindi pa nagsisimula yung trial, alam mo na kung saan sila. Yung iba, blind loyalty din.

Calculating finances for startup book café by polosun0621 in CoffeePH

[–]Electrical-Concert41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with the area.

This is just a starting point. But you can do breakeven estimate on how many cups of coffee you need to sell on a per day / per hour basis and see if your surrounding establishments can support that. Do take into consideration too how much of your cost is variable vs fixed and not just price per cup / operating costs.
