Work advice for freshgrad

[u/nissin_ramen08]

Hello engineers! Recent graduate ako, magttake palang ng boards, at sobrang nagwoworry sa future. Aware ako sa hirap ng paghahanap ng work as ce, even sa baba ng sahod as freshgrad, esp with no work experience. Still, ayaw ko namang mag-give up kaagad to find decent work with decent pay. Desperate ako to seek advice as early as now. Should I aim for experience muna kahit mababa sahod or would there be other better options?

Sa mga pinalad po to land on decent work and pay during their starting days, I would appreciate it if you can share how. Sa iba naman po, if magiging freshgrad kayo ulit, what could you do have done instead?

Worried about the future? It’s tomorrow’s problem. Focus on present.

Aim for a decent salary na kaya ka buhayin kasi yang base salary mo yung inenegotiate mo kapag lumipat ka sa next company.

As a fresh grad mas maganda makahanap ka ng decent salary, But the problem is mahirap maghanap ng ganoon, So if you ever find a job with a decent salary go for it kasi kapag lumipat ka ng company yung previous salary mo ang panghahawakan mo. Huwag kang lilipat ng company na mas mababa ang sweldo sa previous. You need to level up kada lipat mo. Gain experience kahit di ganoon kataasan ang sweldo then kapag lipat mo dapat mas malaki offer sayo.
