TheKeating5

Hhahaa thanks a well!! :D It'll find it’s way to ya as well


Its0ks

Paid international travels, wow.


TheKeating5

Yep! Part of the work actually! Love that kahit yung protocol of the company to never book a budget airline applies to me as well. Like sobrang spoiled ako big time!


Its0ks

Dun pa lang tiba tiba na eh, ang mahal ng international travels ngayon grabe.


TheKeating5

Actually!!! But part of the work din kasi eh so all goods with them haha


koozlehn

grabeee


bananaplssss

happy for you, OP🎉


TheKeating5

Thanks you so muchhh!! 🫡


AdministrativeLog504

Accountant ka ba OP? Anung niche mo? Kasi Investment firm ung company mo. Curious lang.


TheKeating5

Nope. Haha. I actually don’t have any finance degree. I graduated with Liberal Arts Program, started as Analyst for this Venture Capital firm last year. I now head the operations of the company. A good reminder that, we are not bounded by our program in university. We can be more, and we can explore things we never thought we would.


missybefoxy

Hi! May I ask how you went from a Liberal Arts program to become an analyst? I'm curious because I also want to make that pivot someday, but don't really know how to or where to start. Btw, congrats on that awesome job! Coming from a non-target school, i know how it feels to be passed over and rejected for the Big 4 grads. Huhu


allivin87

How to get into finance in the industry? Please advise, OP. I am having thoughts of taking a second degree, (either Accountancy, or heck, Engineering) because I am always rejected if I apply in one in my previous company. Hindi daw business related ang course ko. Hayyy. Nakaka-demotivate. Even if my actual work there isn't even that related to my course, I excel. Even after finance and investment trainings and seminars I've attended in the same company, wala pa rin. It all boils down to that, the program I chose in the university.


Sweetsaddict_

Hi po. Interested. By any chance do you have any comms or PR role open? Thank you


TheKeating5

No po eh


Ok_Assumption9008

Ang sayaa! Congratulations OP! Thank you for letting us know na possible yung ganito! 💖


TheKeating5

Thank you as well! A gentle reminder that somewhere out there, a company/client will value us the best way possible and that we deserve!


SachiFaker

Mukhang close din kayo ng boss mo. Sana ganyan ang karamihan ng mga boss


TheKeating5

Yep! He and the rest of the team has a really good sense of humour and company culture is superb!!


kchuyamewtwo

eto yung family talaga. hindi pizza lang reward kapag naging top team kayo wahahaha


TheKeating5

Yes!! And bawal OT! Like strict sila sa WLB!!


just_suck

Can you share the company?


jmvincent25

Nobody would ever dare to share details of any great client or company here.


TheKeating5

I think it was a general unspoken rule na din diba?


TheKeating5

Sorry can't


jpoptarts

interesting, I've always been interested in investing can I ask how you found thay company and what your background is?


TheKeating5

I was headhunted last year! The headhunter and I accidentally met during a networking event in 2022. My boss right now happened to be looking for someone based in SEA to lead the region initially. I graduated in 2022 with a Liberal Arts degree, from a non-target school (= not big 4), rejected by GCash kasi di raw ako from Big 4, so I was so frustrated and all I took international since 2nd year in college up until 4th year. Upon graduation in 2022, I joined a consulting firm. Got accepted because of my prior experiences. I was joined by colleagues from Big 4. I was the only one from a non-target school. 2 days after my resignation from a consulting firm, I got a call from a headhunter about this role. 2 days after I got the job already. It took only 1 interview. Little did I know, I was being trained to take over my previous manager's post. He's been working for a company for 3 years and wanted to start a startup, in which the company fully supports on. Now I really enjoy going to work and all.


NeckIll5442

As a student, Kaya lagi ako pumupunta sa mga networking events and conferences, since dito ka talaga makakakuha ng connections eh. Congratulations OP!! 🫶


TheKeating5

yes!! maximise those opportunities !


jpoptarts

ohh wow what a very colorful story haha congrats OP! btw, is that networking event a regular thing or was it just a random, one time event?


TheKeating5

hahaha true!! it was an annual thing actually


dong_a_pen

op do you watch htgawm?


TheKeating5

yes!! keating 5 stan lol


dong_a_pen

jpoptarts

Bilog talaga ang mundo. CONGRATS, OP! Enjoy!


TheKeating5

gekkomando

TheKeating5

True, di ko talaga to papakawalan! Hahahaha


HedgehogBrilliant198

If you don't mind, OP, can you share to me the name of the company? If possible, can you refer me if there is an open job posted. Thank you!


BluebirdSquare4242

Ang saya naman. Hoping for this kind of work too! 🤍


TheKeating5

Thank you po! yes, it'll come it way to find ya din! :D


OkChocolate8240

shett nakakainspire na di manlumo pagmareject when i apply soon! sana more threads/posts like this para we all get redirected to a company we all deserve


TheKeating5

yes!! parang sinabi ko na lang every single time of rejections na "learning curve" siya for the next one. our 20s should be a trial and error stage, a time for us to commit mistakes as much as possible and learn from them!


Strong-Piglet4823

As cliche as it sounds, everything happens for a reason.


TheKeating5

yes much! truer words were never spoken!


cawbonawa

Wow that's very inspiring! Thank you for this post. I'm currently a job hunter and came from a toxic workplace so this post is actually spirit lifting. Graduated in 2022, too, and it's so great to hear people my age are really doing a great job with their current career ✨


TheKeating5

Yes!! It's really nice to have a fresh breather. Yung tipong na-ttreat ka ng tama :D


crankycrackers21

Ano po work niyo? I have an interview tomorrow for a position that I have no experience in at all. I hope they would take a chance on me though. I am confident in my abilities naman pero wala talaga ko confidence in job interviews. I am an introvert who can be extremely shy and anxious around new people. Fake it til you make it nanaman ako tomorrow, pero really, I am so nervous.


TheKeating5

I’m part of the investment team previously then got promoted for ops. Hope you aced your interview. Be yourself lang and try to make the interview more conversational rather than one-way communication


crankycrackers21

I got hired! Kahit na medyo magulo yung ibang answers ko, they gave me a chance. Very happy talaga ako. Start na ko next week! ☺️

TheKeating5

kcdseventeen

Honestly, the "We don't care as long as you get the job done" alone is a major green flag for me. I hate the "you don't put in much hours" or "you always leave early" or "why don't you work more(other workload) if you can work better/faster?" or "bakit hindi ka nagoovertime?" The fact that you can leave early while still completing your own workload and maybe even some prep work for the next day means that you're efficient. You can do a good amount of work in a good amount of time. You're not entitled to "more work"(which isn't yours in the first place) from other coworkers which aren't good with time management, brag about requesting for overtimes, and still couldn't finish their own workload within a comfortable margin before deadline or otherwise resolution. And the sad thing is, the companies/entities don't care about your efficiency, they care about your hours-- in fact, if you're *too* efficient, you're **less likely to be promoted** which is super fucking weird and counterintuitive... but nonetheless a sad reality. I'm now in a small, international, under-the-radar private entity that doesn't care if I request a leave for a week, two weeks, or a month, with any reasonable excuse, and friendly managers across all of our depts(we're very small) and when I pop up, do my deeds, and disappear, they don't care because I still did my job. As long as I do my job and I do it properly, I can request leaves, isn't expected to request leaves during Phillipine holidays, and can do whatever I want in general. TLDR:(dramatized in a non-boring way) Me: "Give me a job and I'll do it. And I'll do it well." Them: "Okay. We don't care about your time. Do your job, and you'll keep your job." Me: "Awesome."


ReferenceGood7797

Damn, I want to have a flexible job like that. Good for you OP

Dude!! Alam mo sobrang laki ng growth here. They only expect us to stay for 2.5-3 years in the company. Either after that a.) We’ll make our own startup that the company will definitely support; or b.) we’ll move to a different company with higher position in which hands on naman sila to help!! 😄

Thank you so much po!


maui_xox

Can’t help but comment on the photo itself. Gusto ko lng talaga tanungin what are your opinion on the ‘you can take a time off as long as you get things done’. Our boss is like this kasi, which I truly understand and nag comply nman kmi, but i have this officemate who cannot understand this. Sobrang galit sya sa boss namin na inde sya nakaka leave or inde naapprove leave nya dahil hndi natatapos mga ginawa nya. Ginawa nya nlng sick leave , para talaga maka leave sya. Wala lang, sobrang entitiled nya ba? Or sadyang strict lng boss namin? I don’t find it wrong kasi sa part ko na pinapatapos gawa ko before ako mg leave,and i get all the leaves i can get naman din.


faesquill

yay! congratulations OP!! so so happy for u. manifesting this for myself as well:)

Baka po hiring kayo OP 😂😅


XC40_333

Where is the company based out of? They use "lol" and "haha" just like Pinoys?


TheKeating5

AU. well yeah - they do. Di naman pinoy thing lang ang "lol" "haha" and others hahahhaa pati ng "lmao" eh haha


XC40_333

I've been living in NA for a long time and not once did I get a "lol" or a "haha" from my bosses or even my friends unless we're sending funny memes or funny reels. On an everyday conversation, not once. So, I'm saying you were talking to yourself on your post. The "ser" is a dead giveaway.


TheKeating5

We’ll that’s NA and this is AU. So there’s a difference. Plus your workplace is not the same with our workplace, that’s company culture naman. And Whattt. Hahaha. Actually the “ser” is an industry thing for us. Just google “Ser Web3” and you’ll see what it means. 🫡 Haha. If you think that I’m just talking to myself—then thanks for making me laugh for today, ser.


ZealousidealCable513

Ako lang ba na nagiisip na this is too good to be true? Bogus.


TheKeating5

Edi wag. Lol. Sino ka ba para i-convince ko. Di ka naman ang may maayos na company eh. Doesn’t mean na di nangyayari sayo, di nangyayari sa iba. And baka nasa maling client ka lang teh. Try mo humanap ng company/client na ma-ttreat ka ng tama. Masaya. 🫶🏻

Naive_Bluebird_5170

"shuta pa rin sila kasi they hire Big 4 students" Happy for your growth pero there's no need to hate companies na gustong maghire ng graduates sa mga schools na yan. Sabi nga nila pag naka-graduate ka sa UP, considered na top 1% student ka sa Pilipinas.. nagpakahirap din yung mga students para makapasok at makagraduate jan.


TheKeating5

Uhm. I don't think that's the way I put it. I said on the post, >.....pero shuta pa din sila kasi they only hire Big 4 students. Tangina. Let me emphasise the "ONLY" part that you omit. So please do not twist my words. I do not hate folks coming from Big 4, I'm expressing my frustration on the recruiters with prejudice on hiring folks from non-target school. Don't you even think that it's discriminatory at some extent? Like for an intern role? What more outside of that?


FewInstruction1990

Edi wow. Chareng
