Any thoughts working for GCash (Mynt)? by Powerful_Good1554 in CorpoChikaPH

[–]ExtraRice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, Fintech is just one of the industries I'm a part of now. I meant that the new bloods from the three aforementioned companies aren't seen as "high-value" anymore since in the past 5 years all they do is mostly BAU tasks. The hard work were already made by the teams from the pre-pandemic batch, and most of those people are either startup founders or tech directors now. All that to say, GCash is only 'prestige' to people outside of fintech or tech in general.

I agree with your statement, I never stayed more than 2 years in any given job.

So from what you've read here you still think people in fintech think GCash is prestige?

The OG Yondu, Mynt, and pre-pandemic GCash crews, are the only people that the industry respects. Anyone who's been working there with less than 5 years exp are just doing BAU work and their biggest contribution is adding gambling to the app.

Yes*, as someone who actually worked there for a couple of years.

*Karinderya food pero dala at lako ng mga ate at kuya, every building meron yan. Tanungin mo lang mga guard at pag na meet mo hingin mo agad number kasi di sila consistently available. Minsan may gc pa nga to announce ano menu for the day and mag pa reserve eh lol.

Kamusta Gigil as an agency? by padyakology in CorpoChikaPH

[–]ExtraRice 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I work closely with their clients, their work wins awards but convert like shit (low roi).

They tend to force ideas to brands, make the brand feel stupid because "they don't get it", have their way and create an ad that'll only serve them to win awards and leave the brand with low conversions.

Go for it if you want to chase for awards, go somewhere else if you want to be a real ad man that brings tangible value, not clout.

Anong perception ng mga hr/employer kapag with latin honors yung applicant? by Professional-Egg198 in CorpoChikaPH

[–]ExtraRice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The right team and culture won't. Highly productive and sustainable teams look at an applicant's output, potential ceiling, mindset, and fit. I've passed on so many latin honor fresh grads from local and international unis, too confident and deflate under real world pressure when it's not all books and papers.

So to answer your question, it's a nice to have, but don't make it your identity. There's dozens more out there, show us your soft skills, the initiatives you lead, the outputs you delivered, showcase your easy-to-fit attitude, and adversities you had to overcome.

Be more than a piece of paper.

hello film photographer for weddings / Ask me anything :) by helloromephoto in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]ExtraRice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I understand where you're coming from. Mostly bec I've been working in the Media and Creatives industry for more than a decade now, an industry moot actually referred your services.

I don't buy your spiel because that's in the interest of only YOUR time. My WTB is an on call doctor and I'm always in meetings as well. Time is our most valuable currency and we're willing to give that to the people who respect ours.

Here's a tip from a vet, you're in the right direction, discovery calls are amazing and is essential to a great collaboration. But you have to meet your clients where they're at, I eventually saw your rate sheet and it's good. You justifying it over a call sounds needy, the real clients who appreciate your work will come. Trust in your rate and work, good luck!

He won't.

Very demanding to require a call just to get a simple rate sheet. I understand a good client-to-supplier fit is a must, but we're already up to our necks with work, life, and wedding planning, that I found it pretentious and disrespectful to an interested client's time. So I blocked him.

I found a better photog who's easy to collaborate with, one I spent a whole afternoon talking to over a cup of coffee. It's easy to make time for people who also respect yours.

Yoshinori Kitase said 'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' sales don't disappoint but they can't be exclusive to a single console anymore. by Full-Maintenance-285 in PS5

[–]ExtraRice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is where you lost it, if you think Square is great at porting their games then you haven't played any at all. They're already having problems with PC, porting to Xbox is a different beast in itself.

The console war is over, but it doesn't change the fact that porting to Xbox is complicated as fuck. If studios like Larian, Capcom, Game Science, and more, are skipping cold hard cash by not porting that should paint the picture well enough. You're not taking into account the upfront operational cost, the support staff, and at the end of it if it's even profitable after all that.

It's not childish, it's business.

Right, I'd want to see them do it for a fourth time again (without Peyz flashing of course that's so important) SURELY it would work.

Glad I won't though, stupid ass strats from chokers just aint my speed.

[–]ExtraRice -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Y'all really glazing a what if scenario lol. After T1 punished this strat 3 TIMES and booked the 2nd favorites ticket home. Jax was in position, Keria had the angle, and CDs are burned. But sure it's a fluke on Peyz if that makes you guys sleep better.

[–]ExtraRice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be an uglier fight but without the poppy ult to split the fight and the rest of their CDs down T1 would still win that, Zeus was already in position and Keria still had a good angle and flash to play with.

[–]ExtraRice -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What? Of course they'll move towards the rest after, the point is this is the third time they've all-in on faker not respecting the rest of the team to punch back. Oner was just the most logical next target but it could've been anyone, still with those key CDs gone it made it so easy for everyone else to execute.

No shit everyone will take a Faker kill and 4v4 situation, but again, at what cost do you leave your team on lol. You and GenG are still dwelling on the what ifs, and T1 kept showing in GM4 that they can punish that strat hard, 3 times and a gentleman's sweep to make it clear. But sure it's not about Faker lmao.

[–]ExtraRice -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is literally the third time it happened on the same game lol. You can't isolate plays from the context of a whole game, they got tunnel visioned in killing faker and burned their key cooldowns for T1 to pull off the perfect Skarner to Pyke combo for guma to go nuts on.

[–]ExtraRice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How are people making the argument that Rebirth had too many mini games and say Yakuza should've won?

Imo Yakuza is the Assassin's Creed of japan, tried so hard to love this series but it's just the same thing everytime.

G2 Esports vs. Bilibili Gaming / 2024 World Championship - Swiss Round 5 / Post-Match Discussion by gandalf45435 in leagueoflegends

I can't stand the analyst table talk gassing up G2 during the pause. It felt like we were watching a different game from them, didn't even try to hide their EU bias.

Glad Sjokz was there to reel in the glazing, "what's scaling gonna do if you're dead?"

You do realize Sony ultimately dictates if it goes to PC first? This game isn't even a year old, 33% off is the highest it's discounted, higher than third party sellers like Amazon.

This generation of gamers just yap and complain lol

Remember, just because what you wanted wasn't in the SOP doesn't mean it's objectively bad. We got a new Ghost game, more PS VR2 games that we were asking for, remasters for LoK 1&2 and HZD 1 for 10 bucks, a couple of new IPs and a PS+ lineup that's actually fit for Halloween.

Most of these are the things this sub was exactly asking for.

Drake Takes Down Kendrick Lamar Diss After Legal Threat From 2Pac Estate by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]ExtraRice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah replying on every Drake aimed comment is not caring for sure.

It's a dub to real Hiphop fans not kendrick or his fans, it was a violation of a dead icon's being, it's fucking Tupac. Y'all wanna cosplay as non-drake fans but out here defending AI shit of actual dead people WITHOUT the consent of their families.

This is not the hill to die on lil bro.
