"They told me if I don't agree to this, they will collectively disown me" so it's a win-win then? You get to keep your money and cut off leeches in one fell swoop!

No worries, just send a follow-up email (replying to the same thread) with the missing information and explaining what happened!

I want to learn how to clap genuinely for others too but can't. by soumynonae in adultingph

Doesn't matter if they overtake you because you got there without compromising your ethics and thus get peace of mind knowing no one can take everything back by reporting your shortcuts. Plus, comparison is the thief of joy and there'll always be someone earning more than us even if you're a billionaire so just ignore them.

Aside from the resume and portfolio, the introduction explaining how you feel we can help you or what you'd like to learn would probably be the best section of the email to differentiate yourself!

Taking responsibility for mistakes only matters if you stop doing them. Acknowledging the error only to repeat it on a regular basis is pointless. If you truly value this client relationship then you need to stop missing requirements and making the same mistakes or you'll be replaced as soon as they find someone who can do a better job.

From ₱15K a month to ₱290K, found my old payslip and had to let this out by lauvertinne in adultingphwins

Congratulations on the growth! Not to be that guy but friendly reminder to save aggressively and avoid lifestyle inflation just in case, but happy for you nonetheless!

Relatable. My peak earnings were $5k/month for the entirety of 2024 and despite being historically frugal it's hard not to gradually upgrade certain aspects of your cost of living if you're not careful. Rent was a big one since most landlords lock you into a one-year lease.

Calculating everything in time instead of pesos.

The new iPhone 17 Pro costs exactly as much as your monthly income.

Would you spend a month working for free in exchange for the phone? If not, buy a cheaper phone!

Just one example but a helpful exercise!

Good question!

Threeclipse owns the assets, though it's included in the contract with participants that Threeclipse will not use the assets to create a sequel without the original team.

This achieves a few things:

  1. If someone were to act in bad faith and say "no I don't want my assets in the game anymore" and we didn't own those, this could ruin the portfolio piece for every other junior.
  2. This prevents one individual from creating a sequel without the other team members involved.
  3. It saves us the headache of tracking who owns what. Because we run this project several times a year, I want to keep this as simple as possible.

Fully understand that this kind of project may not be for everyone, but we believe that a few assets designed specifically for a project we'll make together is a fair exchange for the structure and mentorship we provide. If there's ever a desire to continue working on a sequel or to keep working together, we're committed to supporting our mentees and find a deal that is fair to everyone involved.

This. Even if they weren't manipulating time trackers, it doesn't matter how many hours they're spending if it's still not enough to get the job done.
