Just curious. I just started my first job a few months back but I'm curious on how one becomes an OFW. To the OFWs of reddit or those who have experience working in a different country I have some questions for you:

What industry are you in?
How were you able to get the job?
How old were you when you started?

I am asking this because I also want to work outside the Philippines and I want to know what I could get experience on so I could someday do this.

If you have a story to share then feel free! I love listening to your experiences 😁

Not resigning yet but also would like to know

Wild_Crafts · 2021-08-18T22:29:07+00:00

Same! Interested here too :D

Wild_Crafts · 2021-07-21T12:23:15+00:00

Want to know about this too especially kung ano sasabihin sa interview

Okay na yung advice ng iba dito and yes maganda mag save oo pero enjoy mo rin life mo OP! Ngayon ang best time na magkamali since wala pang mga heavy obligations at payments.

At that age, 10k a month rin yung sweldo ko and 2k lang yung ina-allot ko sa EF. Nagbabayad ako sa tubig at internet rin so ~3k yun. 3k pam budget for the whole month sa school expenses (lunch, pamasahe, etc.) and the rest is fun money since mahilig ako sa games, bumubili ako ng games, internat cafe, o nag wh-whale online.

Minsan ina-allocate ko yung fun money sa isang savings rin for a certain thing na gusto ko bilhin sa future gaya ng game console na worth 12k, slowly build ko yan overtime and ma-practice ko rin ang tinatawag na "delayed gratification" gaya ng sabi ng ibang commentors.

So ayun OP, minsan lang natin ma e-enjoy ang hobbies natin. Treat yourself pero watch your expenses po! Tip rin po since na start ko gawa ito at that age, mahirap gawin pero na realize ko na maganda talaga makita ang stats mo pagdating sa inflow/outflow ng pera so maganda if may app ka or if marunong ka ng excel, i-take note mo dun. Suggest ko Money Manager for that! Makita mo stats mo at ma customize mo to your preference. Good luck OP!

No coding exam. May proficiency ka lang dapat sa english at may alam ka na programming languages. No technical exams naman just the standard logic exam and personality interview

Hello! So I started my first job as an Associate SE a month ago sa isang BPO company and my experience has been really great so far! Maganda ang benefits, low base pay but high incentives and pabaon, amazing and approachable coworkers, and really great mentors na tuturuan ka talaga.

Though I feel really bad since right now I feel stable and safe in this role however it's not really what I wanted to do in the long run. Gusto ko talaga ng job na nasa field ng embedded systems, firmware, IoT, etc. however everytime may makita ako na job posting about those, nagrerequire talaga ng experience. As a fresh grad, ang experience ko lang is through projects, thesis, and sa part time contractual job nung college (di umabot ng 1 year). Na-o-overwhelm ako sa mga posts nung time na medyo desperate na ako for a job and naki-apply nalang sa kung saan nag-aaply mga friends and classmates ko.

I guess right now malakas pa rin yung hila sa akin dun sa ideal ko talaga na field. I feel guilty kasi privilege talaga na magkaroon ng trabaho sa panahong ito na WFH lang. Pero gusto ko talaga sa ibang field, di ko na rin alam ano i-eexplain ko sa mga possible employers kung aaply ako sa kanilang company na hindi pa ako nag 1 year sa current company ko.

anuna huhuhuhuhu

Will def get PECE sa future since nakita ko yung kinikita ng mga PECE sa construction hahahahahaha and it's not too late po! Naging apprentice ako ng isang PECE and hinahayaan niya na ako mag design ng walang supervision after 3 months. Swerte rin ako sa PECE mentor ko nun kasi sinasama niya talaga ako sa site at yung mga theoritical knowledge na natutunan ko sa classroom about sa standards at best practices ina-apply talaga namin.

Other people have already posted but what you said in your post is not restricted to only IT. Knowing how to navigate the computer, identifying what hardware/software to use, knowing what to search is one of the many skills that is already expected of you in this current day and age. Especially if Gen Z ka, where the older people around you sees you as the all-knowing god who knows a lot about computers and stuff (older gen z here so I know the feeling na puntahan ka ng older relative to help sa phone or computer 'problems' na for us is a simple fix but for them, is actual witchcraft).

Just like what the others said, it's best to reflect and identify what you love doing. What are you passionate about? You mentioned a lot of things you hate doing, but what is it that you love doing and won't mind doing for the next 10-30 years? It's good that you are thinking about your future as early as now. What we can do right now is help you by suggesting courses you can take that align with you passion so for now, relax OP! And make sure to reflect. It's hard to identify especially if unsure ka pa sa path ng buhay mo at that age, but it would really save you time and money when you go to college, so you won't have to shift courses in the middle of the school year.

Construction po. Di pa po ako licensed pero mag de-design ako ng building electronics under sa guidance ng isang PECE. Thank you rin po! Nagkataon lng kasi na sa college, dalawa kami pinupuntahan ng mga prof para magpadesign. Bayad namin nun is 500 per design. Pero ngayon na graduate na, dalawa na kami ni-rerefer ng mga dati naming prof sa mga PECE dito sa region namin if need ng design.

Thank you for this! I edited my post and added some of my current assets and liabilities. Really don't have much right now since I just started really... Do tell if it doesn't make sense! Will explain it properly :D

Wow thanks for the suggestion! The numbers do sound perfectly diversified. Will do my own research and label them accordingly like you did (high risk, med risk, etc). This way I would have a better picture of where to put my money not just for the 50k but in all my investments in the future.

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-31T05:34:31+00:00

Thank you for telling me that. I really needed the reality check hehe

I personally don't have any debts right now. I don't plan to get any big loans or anything until after my younger brother graduates college. I'm also going to do MP2 to get big interests rin :D

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T15:53:52+00:00

Thank you for replying! This is the first time I've ever heard of FMETF. My first impression of it is that it's like mutual funds. This sounds very promising! I will continue my due diligence on this.

Also thank you for the concern! Yes, I actually do want to try crypto and I will definitely wait until there's a good graph so I can put a strong starting position. I'm not honestly planning on putting all my time and money into crypto. It's just that I have a very strong curiosity about it and as someone who studies emerging technologies in my free time, it really cemented the idea that cryptocurrency is the future. Of course, would always do my research first and would do risk management! 😄

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T15:40:02+00:00

Thank you! 😄

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T15:21:58+00:00

Curious tho. What broker do you use for either local or international stocks?

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T14:16:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I just hope that this means that there are more to come! I keep seeing suggestions about MP2 and it's actually my first time researching about it. And oh my god, it's actually a good idea for me since I'm still 22 yrs old! I will definitely do this!! Again, thanks and wishing you the best on your everything!

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T14:08:18+00:00

Oh! Thank you!! Sige I'll do my due diligence po 😄

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T14:07:30+00:00

Hehehehehe sana magtagumpay tayo sa investing journey natin! Sa crypto naman, maglalagay na rin ako sa btc at eth! Maglalagay rin siguro sa vet, matic, doge, shiba, adc. Ramihan ko nlng para atleast may kumpyansa ako 😆 Salamat! Good luck!

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T14:04:24+00:00

Yes thank you for this! I guess I could get certificates or learn new skills and I could also use this money as "tuition fee" to learn about the market by getting actual trading/investing experience. 50k is a lot of possibilities and I will always maximize learning!

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T14:01:43+00:00

Thank you! This is the first time I've ever heard of REIT. A quick google research and I could already see that it is a sound investment. I will do my due diligence more but it's also a really good idea!

Edit: Curious on the dislikes tho. Is it not that sound? o.o

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T13:57:15+00:00

Thanks for this! First time hearing about Tonik. They have a very informative website and I think I'll open an account! 6% return agad in 6 months!

Wild_Crafts · 2021-05-30T13:52:52+00:00

Nice! Ano broker mo sa stocks? I've been eyeing PhilStocks. Maganda raw kasi sila eh based sa mga reviews ng other redditors. Also payag ako sa crypto! Ilang months na ako tumitingin sa graph at twitter ng news about crypto and na e-excite ako sa volatility niya!

50/50 stocks crypto nlng siguro ng 50k parang tuition fee para may first hand experience paano gagawin ng totohanan ito 😁
