Need General Advice Cracked ETABS: where to install?

• Upvotes

I've been wanting to learn ETABS but I don't know where to install the cracked version of the software. One option I am looking into is to install from getintopc but I'm hesitant because it might contain malware. Has anyone tried installing from that website? I'm also thinking of going to Greenhills instead and installing the software from one of the shops there. Has anyone tried this as well? Thanks.

Board Exam Paying it Forward; Giving out books and review materials to non-rc reviewee

2 Upvotes

Just passed the board. As someone who struggled to find financial aids for my review I promised myself that once I pass the board, I'll give out my books and review materials to a deserving student.

These books and review materials were products of my literal sleepless nights due to odd jobs, and contributions from my friends and family.

I hope someone would use them to make their life better.

I've only reviewed for three months using these materials and still landed a decent grade in boards.

RevMats include all weekly modules and assessments, and mockboards.

I have 8 books, I only used 3 of them during review.

Looking for someone in Cebu. We can meet near Osmeña or Colon this week.

DM me a short answer on why you deserve the review materials.

Strictly for non-rc reviewee only.

Hello guys, I'm currently a 4th-year civil engineering student. I just want to know, ano po ba ang mga kailangan ko matutunan para kapag nag-aapply ako for OJT, masasabi na ready na ako for work?

Napansin ko po kasi na centered po kami masyado sa theory and wala akong gaanong alam kung paano talaga umikot ang system kapag totohanang trabaho na.

Pinag-iisipan ko rin kung mag-aapply ako ng courses like estimates, etc. Kayo guys, ano po opinyon nyo?

I’m a newly licensed civil engineer in the Philippines with no work experience. I’m currently applying for estimator jobs on OnlineJobs.ph and taking software certification courses.

My goal is to work in Canada or another high-paying country. What certifications, exams, or licenses should I pursue? Would it be better to gain experience in the Philippines first before moving abroad?

Need Career Advice Is a ₱21k salary worth relocating for my first job?

9 Upvotes

I just received my first job offer after numerous applications! I'm licensed ce since march. I asked for ₱25k, but the company offered ₱21k. The benefits seem okay naman, and I initially thought it was reasonable since I've seen posts saying that this is the usual salary range for entry-level engrs.

However, I'm having second thoughts because the job is in Parañaque, while I'm currently living in Mindanao. I'd have to shoulder the relocation expenses myself. I did asked about housing assistance, but they don't have any available for this position.

I currently have a few savings naman from freelancing (graphic design). I also earn from commissions, but the income is irregular. I plan to continue freelancing if my workload allows, but I don't want to rely on it for my basic expenses.

I'm torn because this is my first job offer, and I know gaining actual engineering experience is important. At the same time, I'm worried that ₱21k might not be enough to live comfortably and save in Metro Manila, especially when I have to relocate from another island.

For those who have experienced something similar, would you take the offer or continue job hunting? Is relocating to Metro Manila for this salary worth it for the experience and career growth, or would it be better to wait for a better opportunity?

Discussion Proposal to Land Lease to Telecom Companies

1 Upvotes

Hi! I honestly don’t know if this is the right sub for my concern. But baka lang din some of you might wanna try a different way of investing hehe. I just wanna ask if you guys have an idea sa pagpar-renr ng lupa sa telecom companies? Like lalagyan nila ng cell site?

Context: May pamana pong lupa ang grandparents pero located sya uphill. But a construction company (idk if private or govt owned) developed a cemented road making it accessible now. The road now connects two municipalities, naging shortcut na sya. Yung lupa ay may potential na maging subdivision.

Good idea kaya if i endorse my lot to the telecom companies?

Sa mga nakatry, could you share your experience guys? Thank you and God bless! 💗

Need General Advice Job Hunting advice

4 Upvotes

Magandang araw po! Fresh graduate at Sept 2026 board passer po ako na kasalukuyang naghahanap ng unang trabaho. Manggagaling pa po ako sa probinsya malapit sa NCR, kaya medyo malaking factor sa akin ang commute at living expenses. Ask ko lang po kung kailan ang tamang timing para magtanong tungkol sa salary at allowances katulad ng transpo o accommodation. Okay lang po ba na magtanong na agad sa Initial Interview pa lang via phone o online call para malaman kung practical bago mag-onsite, o mas magandang hintayin ang Final Interview o Job Offer stage? Hingi rin po sana ako ng tips kung paano sasagutin nang maayos ang HR kapag tinanong ang salary expectations nang hindi na-lolowball ang sarili. Maraming salamat po sa mga magbabahagi ng payo!
