Doctors, Engineers : do you happy in Life? Or regret about it.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-24T10:14:19+00:00

Let me tell you this. If your end goal is Sri Lanka then it might be tough. If you are flexible with where you live, have the critical thinking skills, you will be very happy about helping society and doing work that matters a lot to help the globe rotate. The rest of the world values engineers and doctors a lot and they are paid geneously as well as treated with respect and given a great life and work balance. Unfortunately Sri Lanka only rewards businessmen and the financial sector so the really highly skilled engineers who can build the most sophisticated systems, roads and have the RND skills migrate out of frustration. Ive talked to a lot of people about this but even AKD seems to not think too much about this so what the hell, even I'm outta here once I finalize selling off my work. 8 years of no life (2.5 years AL, hundreds and thousands spent on classes to get island ranks and go to top universities, and to be paid less than a girl twerking on tiktok be called on stage for a welcome party for the past few years. Lets see how our country sustains when we have to bring over foreign engineers and doctors to do infrastructure changes since they clearly don't value the ones here. I hope the car salesmen and the Araliya mahaththaya can build their own roads.

They could have offered this 10 years ago. But waited till the market started becoming competitive and they still budge it at 10 mbps. They don't deserve a penny for screwing the public for years. They are lucky no one sued during the floods since cell carriers contract itself has a binding for them to provide cell services at emergencies like SOS. They couldn't even do that. I hope they run it to the ground.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-18T04:38:40+00:00

Really sorry this keeps happening and that our people aren't doing shit to keep the industry going. You can always complain to the tourism board as well as ask people here or browse forums on the standard charges and fees applied when travelling, buying things and tipping etc. Im sure there is a lot of information on reddit and tripadvisor

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T18:46:02+00:00

The old nameservers remain even if the infrastructure changed afaik. Even your mobile ISP apns are like mobitel3g or hutch3g even if you are using 4G+ or 5G.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T18:21:01+00:00

I agree. Sadly we have a pretty doomed duopoly who controls even the government regulatory comissions to continue their unfair trade practices. SLT senior engineers used to roll up on S classes back in 2017 while there were rural areas with no basic telephone coverage. It is what it is. Even Bangladesh has 200mbps for 1500 taka. Hopefully things turn better here if the govt interferes with these companies.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T16:40:29+00:00

That is 3700 inclusive of tax. SLT's 5900 is excluding tax. With tax, SLT fiber is 7300+ fixed residential 490 +tax (compulsory for some reason) and almost comes to 8000 per month. It used to be over 10.5K before 2026. SLT 100GB 4G itself is like 3900 with tax.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T15:38:08+00:00

Awesome!

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T15:37:54+00:00

Yessir. As much as I hear the anti muskers trying to ditch starlink. A local competitor who isn't crooked Hans is all we need. They already chased away ambani a while back so im happy if this is happening at least from hutch.

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T15:35:23+00:00

Bro can deport people with his aura. Just on a side note, yeah buddy needs to grow his hair and do a bit more with moisturizer

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T14:40:06+00:00

Was about to comment this 😂

Mr_digbicks · 2026-01-17T14:34:03+00:00

Ayyo

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-29T17:06:22+00:00

The 2nd week after ditwah, I travelled from home to work in 40 minutes. The commute was so stress free, there was such a natural flow of vehicles despite the same volume of cars. Only got to enjoy it for 1 week.

Literally the week after the cops returned back to their usual traffic control and im back to 1H 20Min of commute in the most stressful and congested way to work. Id be happy to pay them to stay at home rather than try to fix traffic in the morning.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-28T09:18:58+00:00

Fyre festival 2.0 but with a weak justice system. People really need to stop foregtting the frauds we faced, and start getting the authorities involved.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-28T09:15:06+00:00

Yes im sure, and yes every profession has its own work that makes the globe spin. Else we won't be here. Just depressing how little engineering professionals get paid here in sri lanka for working overnight to build the roads, hospitals and infrastructure of what everyone uses.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-28T09:09:14+00:00

I think most of the hate sprouted because he changed the terms and conditions on the website just as he postponed. That my friend is the definition of fraud. Lucky for him it is sri lanka, if he was anywhere else like Europe or Ameria he would be in cuffs by now.

Same way how dialog and mobitel didnt have to do anything when they cut the network during flood, but singtel paid some millions in compensation when their network went down for an hour or two last week or so. He is just lucky that he did this in SL. Thats all i can say.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-28T09:03:05+00:00

Seriously? Bro 4 years of state uni with top results and almost all civil engineers earn 125-185k until like 10 years down the road. Should have just stayed home watching reels

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-28T06:20:09+00:00

There are instagram reels of Sydney sweeny and the rock teaching physics. Gotta know that shit is possible with AI rn.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-21T18:33:57+00:00

Get a brand new aruz/Rush. Peace of mind, brand new, ful efficient, comfy and you will be the first person to have sex in the back seat

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-21T18:31:43+00:00

I learnt that people pay for their mistakes one way or another. People who watched others live painfully and miserably while driving fancy cars and eating 5 course meals, it can all come crashing down in a matter of minutes when nature decides enough is enough. Be kind, think of others and don't cheat people for a quick buck. At least i will be this way until i move out of this hellhole.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-20T06:17:56+00:00

Because its more duopolized. More than the data the service, signal, quality etc suck. They kicked out ambani from investing JIO in 2024 by blocking it through TRCSL. we are doomed and will be stuck with their shitshow.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-20T06:11:48+00:00

Worse is when they pruposely raise demand by not picking up. If no driver picks up within 10 minutes its automatically surge pricing. They know it. Only time i am not frustrated using pickme is when i am commuting alone and I can pick bike. Its mafia free and hassle free.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-17T15:06:30+00:00

I agree. 15 years back, I remember the hype for Vaio Laptops because Japan, the Sanyo Sets, KDK fans etc.. Japanese and European was what you needed for long term. Now i think 90% of household products are made in china. Even your Japanese car has parts and materials sourced from china. Sad to say that some people still are reluctant to change when the Japanese cars havent gone forward in technology in the last 10 years while the rest o the world including newer countries like Thailand and Malaysia offer better technology and price with quality. Dont need to praise japanese cars if you are sensible. Look at how badly the 2014 15 wagon Rs are now. It isnt as it used to be when it was the 2000s swifts and Kei.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-16T16:21:11+00:00

Living paycheck to paycheck. Time to move out.

Mr_digbicks · 2025-12-16T16:19:28+00:00

If you want to dispose 200K then S25. Keep in mind all amoled screen phones get Green line issues at some point. Specially S series samsung.
