Hello, just wanted to check the usual hiring process sa company. Thanks in advance!

I know the question might be too broad. But I cannot help not to be curious din. Is there still a light at the end of this tunnel?

For the past few years since the rapid AI development, all of the roles that are open are expecting you to be more flexible than ever. And while it might be the new norm now, why the rates are so low? It feels like these corporations are not stepping down when it comes to providing a salary budget that is just. Ang onti din ng mga openings.

Lahat sobrang baba compared to 2020 to 2022. It’s just sad na we are so exploited now.

To all the folks out there who were recently made their role redundant, paano kaya nakapag-adjust? Mentally, emotionally, and physically?

I used to be in this organization for so long, and while it is my comfort space, hindi naman ako slacking sa trabaho. In fact, my annual performance this year is great.

I am fortunate enough to secure another employment after a month. But honestly, I feel not so sure of myself if I am really ready to work in different organization. Bills are letting me adjust myself and I guess I need to suck it up. I miss the culture sa previous company ko na na layoff ako. Yung workmates, manager, yung routines mo and the comfort of being yourself with the people you work with locally and globally. All of it is just suddenly gone.

Cliché man pero this feels like a heartbreak na I am still processing. If may chance man to go back, I will in a heartbeat.

Any reviews who are currently working or previously worked there specifically sa recruitment? Thanks

Hello po, I’m the person who posted about losing all my love and enthusiasm sa field of work ko which is HR. Thank you po to all recommendations and comments. To add, I think one big factor that’s making me want to officially quit is my current role. It’s a complete role misalignment.

Honestly, if they had been transparent during the interview process, I probably wouldn’t have pursued the application at all. Wala naman issue sa’kin if the work is challenging, but what’s frustrating is they never fully disclosed how heavy the workload actually is and how different the role would be from what was initially discussed. Literal na volume ‘to away from the strategic approach that I’ve been doing for years, and iniiwasan ko talaga ang volume ever since.

Now I feel overwhelmed almost every single day. Today’s a Sunday. And I can’t remember the last time na feeling anxious about tomorrow. I’ve never had this feeling sa previous role ko (I was made redundant there).

I’m still adjusting to a completely new system while simultaneously dealing with a nonstop influx of tasks that I genuinely wasn’t prepared for. Parang every day survival mode nalang. The stress is starting to affect me mentally and physically, and I can already feel myself slowly burning out.

I know sobrang hirap ng job market ngayon and bills never really stop. That’s honestly the only thing keeping me from making an impulsive decision. But at the same time, I also know deep inside that staying in this role long-term will probably cost me more in the future.

I’ve been seriously thinking:
Should I leave even without a backup plan?

Part of me feels irresponsible for even considering it, especially in this economy. But another part of me feels like if I stay longer, mas lalo lang akong mauubos. Has anyone here resigned without a fallback job because of burnout or role misalignment kahit bago ka palang sa company? Did things eventually work out for you?

I’m currently in my late 20’s and I’ve been working in HR for almost a decade already. To be honest, pagod na pagod na ako dealing with people every single day. And yes, even the global colleagues I have. I know every job naman may human interaction, but HR feels different kasi you carry everyone’s concerns, expectations, emotions, office politics, and pressure all at once. Tapos minsan despite giving so much of yourself, parang undervalued ka pa rin in the end.

Lately, I’ve been having this realization na maybe this field is no longer worthwhile for me. Or maybe I just outgrew it.

The thing is, I’ve always wanted to do something creative: writing, content, storytelling, maybe even be part of a creative industry someday. Whenever I imagine myself doing those things, parang doon lang ako genuinely nae-excite ulit. But at the same time, natatakot din ako because I know reality is different.

I know career shifting won’t be easy. The cruel pay cuts are there, starting over, needing to upskill again, competing with people who already have experience in that industry, etc. Minsan naiisip ko rin if companies would even accept someone like me na halos HR background lang ang meron.

I guess my biggest question is:
Is late 20’s still a good time to completely change careers? And for those who shifted into creative work, how did you know it was worth the risk?

Would honestly appreciate real advice or experiences because I feel very lost lately.
