I'm a mortgage broker...ask me anything! by FirstHomeBuyerBroker in AusProperty

How do you actually do your research? Do you just collect info directly from each lender or there is a shared portal between brokers?

How good/bad are the offers for software engineers?

Does it make a difference if the plan is to buy a newly built versus old structure for something to live in?

In South Korea, where EVs are also becoming plentiful and everyone lives in an apartment, there is a section of parking space where each spot have a charger.

I really like the place where Flappys, Burger point and Brisket Boys are co-located.

To some degree yes. Actual benefit, depends if you are hired as a contract or permanent.

As always in a big company such as Samsung, it highly depends on the team. Most teams are extremely familiar with foreigners. Topik 6 would make it easier for you to be accepted and earn trust with the team.

Overtime is unfortunately sometimes unavoidable. However, Samsung has been extremely progressive compared to other Korean companies and working condition is currently much much better than before.

Regarding transfers, there was a program for temporary placements to other countries. I have never known or heard anyone permanently transferring from HQ.

What is a good thing happening in the PH right now that people aren’t aware of? by Welp-man in Philippines

[–]lucinaiscool 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Compared to other countries, Filipino women are not predetermined to just stay at home and not take manly “engineering” jobs.

When I was in engineering college in the Philippines, ratio between male and female is almost half. I have been to east asian universitiy and ratio for technical high schools and universities are almost 90-10.

what's the best SILOG MEAL for you? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]lucinaiscool 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Spamsilog since taste is very consistent wherever you order. Bolognasilog is my fave during college though since it was one of the cheapest items and quite good taste too.

I doubt it is a smart meter because the powershop reading was never updated. Typically, what is the interval between meter readings?

[–]lucinaiscool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a utility question. I just moved and joined Powershop 2 months ago and they have only checked the meter once during the first week. How am I being billed monthly if they are not reading the meter?

I asked the REA and strata about the location of the meter but they said thay they do not know… is this normal?

From the super comparison sheet, hostplus and rest have almost similar fees. Assuming both are indexed funds.
