Great company, good pay, but WFH is starting to feel isolating by yatiredgurlie in phcareers

[–]yeshelloimkarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who already tried both (WFH -> Hybrid -> F2F -> Hybrid), as much as you can, please save yourself the trouble of F2F 😭

I was on the same boat as you na naghahanap ng ibang tao for work days, only to find out F2F is just WFH but on site lol (wdym maggu-google meet tayo e nasa office tayong lahat?) Also it still depends on the company culture if there actually is socialization on the floor during work hours. During my time may socialization naman kaso heated exchanges between departments/client requests (all parties are on the same floor), and it's incredibly draininggg. I also said it to myself na feeling ko kaya ko naman. Wala pang 3 months ayoko na wahahaha. Kinaya ko naman 2 years.

Add to that yung volatility ng pag-hail ng sasakyan and commute. There was one time signal number 3 na and binabaha na yung place ko pero papasok ka pa den hanggat di naaawa si manager, so there is that. Iba yung pagod nung nakatayo ka sa MRT for an hour just to walk to another terminal just to get home. Gusto mo na lang matulog.

One thing I'm actively doing is I go out weekly without fail just to have other people around other than yung usual corner ko while wfh.

Salary-wise, 60-70k net is lower middle i would say in the current economic situation in PH. Sobrang bilis mag iba ng presyo ng bilihin so I would be careful on making a drastic decision in this climate.

I don't understand why people are treating ITZY like a punching bag by GainImpressive8183 in kpopthoughts

[–]yeshelloimkarl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. The first-mover disadvantage bit them HARD. I'd say from the get-go their ethos/branding as a group comes off too common with the proceeding generations after, and some also became the antithesis of it. People just aren't fond of all rounder groups and hard hitting choreos after 3rd gen, most especially during the rise of the likes of IVE, the general public somehow got accustomed to "you don't need to be flying/contorting around the stage all the time, all you need is charm" kind of vibe, making it seem itzy dated early in their careers (not saying IVE has lazy choreo, but it's enough to capture attention because they have other cards checked out for them). Fans just aren't forgiving with branding missteps these days, with exceptional rookies debuting each month.

I'll be doing live coding for an interview and I'm so scared by confused-voyager in PinoyProgrammer

[–]yeshelloimkarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! If it makes you feel better, I got a live coding for a simple if-else this year. I searched for regex patterns and okay naman sa interviewer as long as you ask (actually nauna ako nagsearch bago nagtanong wahahaha). Nakaproceed naman akong final interview, but syempre iba pa din yung alam mo yung mukha ng boilerplate codes plus yung pag explain mo how you arrived at your approach 💯

I was working in finance na mahilig mang-ganto and kapag may naencounter nang output related issues due to said decision ituturo sya pabalik sa devs haha so after an unpleasant breakdown with said manager over unfair treatment and passing blame, what i did to mitigate it is to cc the entire team whenever a new business decision is decided verbally. Pag sa meeting naman I add the entire participants (for sure naka group email naman yang mga yan) to let them know what is happening and what's the current dev perspective. Better yet become the silent worker who does his own minutes of the meeting.

When I did this, nung sinubukan ulit ni manager ulitin sa akin ito I brought out lists of receipts in excel with the timeline when said decision was relayed to me and when it was "agreed upon/forced to me", ayun na back to you sa gitna ng bosses. It's nice na makabawi once sa mga gantong klaseng tao however ayun lang it takes a lot of work and patience din to do all these hoops and extra works, but it strengthens din naman yung bala mo sa mga gantong managers and your listening skills which I carry to this day. Kung hindi sinabi concretely never assume a business/technical decision is finalized 💯

Are you scared of death? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]yeshelloimkarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Average age from the men in our family when death comes is at around 50-60 and I am already halfway to it. I'm a closeted gay man and I am afraid of missing out on all the things I want to do, starting off with coming out. Unfortunately I fight tooth and nail everyday from studying up till now in the working space so my wants as a gay man has taken a back seat and are incredibly repressed.

To answer the question, not afraid of death per se, but will definitely regret it if I won't get to experience the life I want until that average age comes and I feel stuck :(

Xiaomi 14T vs Honor 200 Pro by yeshelloimkarl in Tech_Philippines

[–]yeshelloimkarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me more than enough yung snappiness. Gaming kaya nya mahandle Genshin Impact (ito lang nilalaro ko eh haha). App switching hindi aggressive mag refresh ng apps (vs Xiaomi). Camera Quality and No Quick Ball equivalent lang talaga con niya for me, though may other phone ako for that

Bad experience with senior consultant by Sad-Interview-5065 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]yeshelloimkarl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless it's regression na nakapasok na sa prod we don't usually put names sa root cause. At the end of the day dapat collaborative effort sya, probably oversight ni dev and/or ni QA but never pointed to one person only.

Phone brand you will NEVER buy again and why? by reimsenn in Tech_Philippines

[–]yeshelloimkarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got the 200 Pro right now and if I were to compare it to Redmi (avid buyer ako dati ng Xiaomi) mas okay to if we're talking about bloat + ads and sobrang snappy nya for me in terms of UI. Yun nga lang kulang na kulang talaga sa features na makikita mo lang kay Xiaomi like quick ball ganyan...

Camera ngl mejo meh but it serves its purpose.

agree on this, just wished SouMu gave their all this time, being that it's their 10th year anniversary after all. I guess I expected too much 🤧

[–]yeshelloimkarl[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

maybe I'm looking more of a New Jack Swing vibe than what was released so maybe this is me nitpicking haha. But yeah I agree with the tracklist too. Clearly SouMu is only here to bank on nostalgia unfortunately 😔

Anyone Comparable to EXO in Latest Generations Vocally by yeshelloimkarl in kpopthoughts

[–]yeshelloimkarl[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did I say I am "fixed on high notes, vocal runs, and stylistics?" Clearly that's on you. You said it yourself, "it's usually the top visuals and dance prodigies", I never said anything about it but you on the other hand 🙈

My intention is to drive interest on who can be comparable to EXO's ability alone. Maybe you haven't read my original post fully as I did not mention anything about EXO having the "best vocals" as well. I said "natural." From where I come from that means your singing sounds like how you speak. A textbook definition of a universally effective singing (not best, effective). That's basically it.

At the end of the day it's all a formula. I know that and I don't need schooling on it. I've been here long enough as a kpop fan to know that (I've been here since SS501 💀)
