First 3 photos taken last December 4 2025. NW 6-7 na ako nito I think. That same day I started taking oral finasteride. Started with 1.25 EOD then changed to everyday. Around February 2026, I added oral minoxidil 2.5mg daily and topical minoxidil. I tried using topical minox way before pa lumalala pagka-bald ko but ‘di naging consistent and nawalan na ng pagasa, not until I decided to jump the gun sa finas and minox, with derma consultation.

I started losing hair pala around 18-19 yrs old, pero lumalala ng 21 until now I’m 25 years old.

Need your thoughts on the ff:

1st. Redundant ba na I’m taking oral minox 2.5 (morning) then also topical minox (evening)? I’m thinking na ‘di na mag topical and maybe stick to oral 2.5mg or increase it to 5mg. (medyo worried lang din mag-up ng dosage sa minox in case sa heart).

2nd. May chance pa kaya kumapal yung density nung hair? at least ma covered sya? I’m not sure if i’m reaching plataeu na sa re-growth ko since yung mga regrown hair hindi ko na napapansin na humahaba and/or kumakapal. Minomonitor ko rin kasi sya monthly.

I thought inacept ‘ko na na bald na ako since super aga ‘ko napanot, pero I guess grabe parin yung insecurity ko and pagkababa ng confidence. Imagine ang bata ko pa lang noon, panot na ‘ko.

Sorry long read. Appreciate your thoughts po. Thank you!

TLDR: I can’t decide whether I should stay at my current job, or accept the JO, please help me huhu.

My background: CPA + another title holder, currently working as tax associate in one of the big four firms. Almost 1.5 years here.

Got a JO for the role of finance associate: basically
it’s rotational role in company that provides exposure to finance/accounting, operations, and regional markets (international SEA countries), while also building skills in data analytics, including query scripting and data visualization (SQL). My understanding is that I’d get hands on experience on how the business works, then it’s up to me where I would stay in the company after getting enough knowledge.

Here are the pros and cons imo

Pros:
- salary is quite good compared to current salary around 10-12k increase
- hybrid set up
- I believe i’d learn a wide variety of skills and would open up a lot of opportunities.
- weekends off

Cons:
- 2 year bonded, will pay damages if you leave early
- Limited number of leaves 15 leaves
- quite strict and fast paced environment
- 10 hrs working hours (9 + 1 hr lunch)

Personally, leaves are important to me since I have planned travels (long leave) that falls during the probationary period (no leaves yet). Current job is quite specialized right now and limited exit opportunities. Stressed na rin talaga kaya exploring na ng other opportunities.
Also, current job is easy to file a leave and has 24 leaves + 2-3 din per year.

ps: don’t mind the grammar, I posted this on a whim. Will greatly appreciate your thoughts pls huhu.
