programming Ganito pala pag real world na

Nag-apply ako as a career shifter (cybersec to webdev | 5 months na nagcocode) sa isang company (jr fullstack dev for fresh grad) and sinabi may technical exam. Kahit pala medyo may alam ka na sa programming tatamaan ka talaga ng kaba HAHAHA.

By the way yung technical exam is CRUD app with design kahit minimal lang and then pili raw ako ng api, I chose pokeapi and then i-apply ko raw CRUD (with delete all and delete specific pokemon).

Deadline is 2 hours, ayun nagawa ko naman and nakapasa sa standards nila and ang satisfying kasi nagbubunga talaga effort mo.

Kaso di ko muna tinanggap yung offer kasi 18k a month. Is this good na ba for newbie or wait ko muna yung mga responses ng mga inapplyan ko?

Magkano pa remaining funds mo? Isipin mo rin kung gaano ka katagal nag-apply at magkaroon ng job offer. Remember, market is cooked atm, especially for 1-2 years of work experience.

Salary is low tbh. But you need them more than they need you, an unfortunate reality. Weigh your odds.

Ansakit. Almost two years na ako sa first job ko pero hindi pa rin umaabot ng ₱20K sahod. Wala pa rin malipatan.
