USA first timer: Where to have my PHP exchanged to USD?

Hi! Traveling solo to the US for the first time this week! :)

  1. Where po kaya best to have my PHP exchanged?

My mom said kasi sa airport na lang but if iirc, not super advisable siya by the others? Thinking of going to the bank tomorrow or sa department stores.

  1. When I pay using my credit card, do I pick local currency or home currency?

Would be really helpful to hear your thoughts! Thank you!

Private corporate job or government work? Which is better?

Hi! Currently working in a private company, first job ko and 5 years na rin ako dito. Recently, my parents have been medyo pushing me to take the Civil Service Exam kasi they think government work is much more stable. Since comms grad din ako and wala naman akong specific license, ito yung route na nire-recommend nila sakin.

I’ve stalled the CSE a few times already kasi honestly, ang daming ganap and hindi ko talaga siya kaya masingit HAHAHA. But I finally gave in to please the parents 😭 I’m taking the exam this Aug 9 and tbh feeling ko babagsak ako kasi goodbye math na talaga ako 5 years post-undergrad HAHAHA (but sana pumasa pa rin! sayang 500!)

Anyway, I just wanted to hear from people who have tried both private/corporate and government work. How different are they in terms of salary, workload, job stability, growth, work culture, etc.? And if you’ve made the switch, did you prefer one over the other?

Medyo nalilito lang din ako because funny enough, when I graduated, I actually had an opportunity to work at our LGU but my parents discouraged me from taking the offer. Now sila naman yung nagpu-push sakin towards government work 😭

I do think government work is something I’d want to explore eventually, but I’m not sure if I actually want it now.
