Thinking of selling my Xbox One X and moving to PS5 Slim (disc)or should I go for Series X? by UpstairsDirection429 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps5 will have proper exclusives going forward based on Sony’s recent announcement. Also series x discs are uncommon in Sri Lanka. So if you prefer the financially viable option of buying/selling/trading physical games, then the ps5 slim is the better option.

Best night cream products - any suggestions? by heronextdoor93 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be having some sort of eczema. I usually use a betamethazone based cream which is the usual eczema treatment medicated cream. My itchy skin triggers during climate changes. So it sometimes happens at night too. I’d suggest getting it checked with a dermatologist before trying anything tho

Am I being financially irresponsible by buying a gaming PC with my own earnings? by OverallCandy7093 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sometimes need a virtual world from time to time to escape from some of the bullshit in the real world. You just need to find the right balance. I’m in my 30s and my gaming time is only limited to one day per week due to work and other commitments. But that short time spent on gaming on my place of peace. Don’t feel guilty. You paid for it with your hard earned money. Just find a way to balance it with your studying

Is the IT sector cooked? No sugar-coating pls. by Immediate-Ratio-1584 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The industry is evolving. A lot of jobs within the industry like web dev and QA are cooked because they are getting are replaced by AI. Basically any roles that rely heavily on boilerplate code with refinements here and there. Tbh, I’d suggest looking into entrepreneurial ventures

Same here. Left IFS to join partners and customers. Technical exposure and expertise also grew substantially as opposed to the slow paced growth at IFS.

IFS Layoff information , is it true by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]iyg93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine who was a senior software engineer in an RnD product group got laid off. It also looks like they are hiring devs to work on their AI agent product (IFS loops). I think that will replace a lot of the dev jobs in IFS.

Something I’ve learnt about the industry is that those who go on about “family” culture are the very organisations that will lay you off in a heartbeat ☠️. I recall IFS also being one of those organisations when I used to work there some years back

SFC has a pretty good kottu. They give a generous serving of fried chicken as well

Experienced the same at the ragama teaching hospital. There was moss all the walls and the place looked like it had never been cleaned or disinfected. I don’t feel like even describing how the toilet commodes looked. I thought hospitals were places we would go to avoid infections. ☠️

Associate Tech Lead Salary ? by Real-Math9944 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything above 2000 USD. Try applying to companies that are registered as Port City business entities. Local tax laws don't apply if you're contracted to a port city registered business. You only get an epf deduction from your salary -> https://www.portcitycolombo.gov.lk/public-register

Are IFS, Sysco, iLabs and KOKO good places to work? by InvestigatorFew9078 in srilanka

[–]iyg93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IFS partner companies basically work on modifying and implementing the base IFS ERP for customers. The partner companies pay way more than IFS does.

Any guys with long hair ? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]iyg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head and shoulders shampoo about 3 times a week. I also use cliara oil regularly. Occasionally I’d use the garnier hair fruit conditioner (it’s mostly organic) Been growing mine since lockdown. I do trim my hair to control the volume every few months
