Hi everyone, I need some career advice.

I’m a Computer Engineering graduate, and I’m currently on my 2nd job. My first job was in the IT field, and I recently accepted a documentation role at a financial services company.

During the job offer and final interview, the actual scope of the role wasn’t really discussed in detail. I was given the impression that the position would mainly involve documentation-related work.

Now that I’m being oriented, I’m learning that the actual responsibilities are much bigger than I initially expected. Apparently, there’s a lot of coordination, KPI monitoring, reporting, and overseeing other employees’ work.

The salary is ₱19,500 during probationary status, and it will only increase to around ₱23k+ once regularized.

I also talked to someone who was temporarily hired for the same type of work, and they said that OT is quite common, usually until around 7:30 PM, Monday to Friday.

The OT is paid, but I’m still wondering if the overall compensation is fair considering the scope and responsibilities of the role.

This honestly made me question whether I made the right decision. 😭

As a Computer Engineering graduate with my background in the IT field, I’m worried that this role might take me too far away from IT. At the same time, the responsibilities seem pretty big for ₱19,500, especially if frequent OT is expected.

The thing is, these responsibilities and the possible frequent OT weren't really discussed clearly during the final interview or when the job offer was presented to me. I’m only getting a clearer picture now during the actual orientation.

Should I still try to negotiate the salary before signing the contract, or should I accept it and use the experience as a stepping stone?

Would really appreciate some honest advice from people who have been in a similar situation. 🥲

Hello everyone. I would like to ask for your opinions and encouragement.

I’m considering resigning from my current job. I have around 6 months of experience in the IT industry in an entry-level role, and honestly, I’ve been struggling and just trying to get through each day. I graduated last year, and I’m worried about whether I’ll still be able to find another opportunity if I decide to resign.

For those who have been in a similar situation, do you think 6 months of IT experience is enough to help me land another role? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if your company has any openings for IT Support, Service Desk, IT Specialist, or IT entry-level related roles, I would be grateful for any referrals. I can send my resume right away.

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to respond. 🙏
