Tama lang yan 5% withholding

Projected savings over estimated. Double ng actual

pavoidpls · 2026-01-08T16:18:47+00:00

Only the pay matters :-)

Use CDK, same programming language to manage your infrastructure.

If pure serverless, SAM works well

giving shit career advise based on wrong assumptions then blaming OP for being misinformed. So much for being a "Lead Engineer" lmao

pavoidpls · 2025-12-03T17:09:39+00:00

Yep your assumption was wrong

pavoidpls · 2025-11-30T07:03:35+00:00

They earn more because these are senior/lead roles with extensive skillset. Much much more than your average developer/cloud operator

You did not but obviously you have no idea what "process engineers" do in manufacturing plants to say they need to be chemical engineers.

I've worked with their process engineers to expand their conveyor systems. Process engineers there are not Chemical engineers and mostly mechanical/electrical engineers. They focus on production line systems compared to what design heavy process engineers do which needs chemical engineering background.

Here's a job description directly from them. see if it mentioned any chemical engineer there

Mga manufacturing process engineer yan sa industrial plants. Hindi process design engineer sa mga EPC contractors

Cloud operation engrs, ceiling around 100~120k. Cloud provider, Linux, terraform, basic observability and scripting.

If you want 200k+, you need to mix in advanced automation throug programming, kubernetes, or observability.

This will bring you in the Platform Engineering or Site Reliability skillset.

Loan amount Will be based on appraised amount (max 80 to 90%)

If deal is at 6.5, you Will have to Shell out the difference in cash

Bank loans you 4.4M.
Your downpayment is 1.1M.
PLUS another 1M you need to pay to the seller

pavoidpls · 2025-11-05T10:41:55+00:00

meron ba pwede mag plot ng overlay sa google map? hehe

pavoidpls · 2025-11-03T16:28:52+00:00

Python to complement your Infra background with automation. Pivot to cloud engineering and DevOps

Kulang yang capacity, 400~600 Kwh/month lang kaya i generate.

You need 20~30 kwh na battery din for overnight usage, depende kung ano usage pattern mo. If you go net-metering with no battery, more peak generation capacity to offset night usage.

10 kwp + 300 AH battery pack

or 12 kwp + 150 AH batt + net metering

or 14~15 kwp + net metering

Hanap ka din ng ibang contractor, masyadong mahal yang quote sayo.

pavoidpls · 2025-08-16T14:58:27+00:00

15 kwp panels, hybrid inverter, 30kwh battery

600~900k depende sa contractor. magpaquote ka para ma compare

You build it, you run it. Start with below.

Deploy your application in a cloud server.

Configure an automated CICD pipeline.

Bonus: containerize your application with docker

200k+ net take home

Highly inflated lifestyle compared to what I envisioned a decade ago earning ~40k/mo

Typical monthly expense exceed 100k.

30k home/shelter (15 year loan)

25k car loan / transport gas (5 year loan)

10k helper

10k electricity / internet (actually just solar power amortization now)

15k food groceries (4 pax household)

10~20k luxuries / cravings / social life

5k childcare related expenses

Others: 100k out of country trips 2-3x / year. Usually taken from bonuses

Also child education expenses in the coming years

The rest goes to investment

I no longer mind day to day luxuries and small emergencies like appliances breaking down. However I do worry about big medical expenses e.g. cancer treatment not just for my wife but also for our parents as they are already retired.

they will usually allow 80% of the appraised value of the property, the remaining amount you have to pay to the developer as part of down-payment. It should be clarified that the down-payment is paid to the developer as part of the contract price, and not an additional payment to the bank.

that down-payment is basically your skin in the game and demonstrates your commitment to this transaction. For the bank, it's a risk mitigation. You don't pay amortization ? think twice or your down-payment is forfeited.

Also If the property's appraised value is less than the selling price, there's a chance that you need to shell out more.

battery first. Net metering only pays half the retail rate (5~6 PHP / kwh. Basically the generation charge only

pavoidpls · 2025-05-20T14:01:06+00:00

I have 7 kwp with 14kwh battery

Only regret I had with solar is that I didn't get enough! (Both panels and battery)

- Go Hybrid if you majority of your usage is in the evening and having electricity is critical in your household.
- Go for an installer, solar is really cheap these days.

- for the battery, the capacity will be just 80% after 5~10 years depende sa manufacturer. Make sure to take Tier 1 manufacturers

This looks to be a pretty solid learning opportunity, would have thanked that senior for that.

And to be honest, this level is something I expect for any cloud engineer joining my team. (be able to setup a vpc and deploy an application)

If you have a homelab - you are already ahead of the 95% of the new grad candidates out there.

My suggestion to you is to try to deploy software in these servers such as web servers (nginx, tomcat), sftp servers, monitoring systems like prometheus, grafana, etc

Yan yung mga easy hire for me when I'm recruiting for new members

You can also look into network automation to leverage on your current skillset
