it's a phase that we all pass, well at least in my case..

when i started working, i was aiming to make myself grow in my chosen profession.
then i performed well, and i was given critical projects with insane deadlines.
i was so caught up with pleasing everyone that i barely had time to rest and relax.
i realized a few  years after the importance of having a healthy  work schedule.
i shifted my focus then on having a better work schedule.. reduced my all-nighters and weekends in the lab.
and now, seeing in the near future that i wanted to raise my own family, the $$$ matter.

so going back, i guess my answer to the question depends on which phase you are in now in your life..

just my thoughts..  8)

Maging may-ari ng business.

So makokontrol mo parehong pera at schedule. Magpapakamatay sa trabaho ang mga empleyado mo para sa mataas na sahod para  kumita ka. Ikaw magpapasya kung kelan ka papasok at uuwi.

Title: Re: Salary or Schedule
Post by: Lanchie on January 22, 2014, 01:14:12 AM
career growth pa rin vs the two.
Personally, schedule is something i can adjust to, meanwhile salary is negotiable as long naman na ung offer is sustainable to my basic needs.
Sabi nga nila, okay lang na mababa sahod. Di nakakababa ng pagkatao un. At kung magaling ka talaga promotins would be inevitable.

Title: Re: Salary or Schedule
Post by: sybil02 on February 03, 2014, 09:23:06 PM
I came to a point that schedule is important moreso, when you are getting older. Because this is the time you will feel more vulnerable in stress working graveyard. I've worked for 10 years in BPO in a graveyard shift, it's rewarding in terms of salary but pain in health. When your young go for it but make sure you have master plan to change career later on. Ipon ipon na lang muna habang nsa BPO (night schedule).

guys, wag kayong papayag sa "sapat na salary". dont be comfortable. or yung mga tipong "as long as it addresses my basic needs".

Walang masama na mag-dream at maging mayaman. those kinds of mentality will really limit your capabilities. time to wake-up.

sabi nila, life can be divided into 4 quadrants as a measure for success/happiness/satisfaction.

1 - money
2 - career/success
3 - relationships/love life
4 - health

salary falls under money.

on the other hand, schedule covers all. medyo unfair if im basing it on the quadrant. but that is my basis for choosing schedule. It can trigger satisfaction/happiness in many ways.

High Salary but working at night Vs. Low Salary working at day-shift
anu prefer nyu?

Wealth does not come from your bank account, wealth comes from the depth of your heart. What you really want is happiness. You might believe that a fat bank account will get you there, but that's false. Happy people are happy rich or poor, unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor. Money simply masks your real being by giving you activities to occupy your mind. Don't fool yourself, recession or not, your true wealth comes from your heart and is always only there.

Happiness is the main factor to consider here.

I have a low compensation rate in the office right now and rendering working hours from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. (in the average run). My compensation is not that really enough to cover up all my financial obligations, due and demandable but nevertheless I am happy with my work for having the best luck in my work.

Before, there were company that offers a high compensation rate but I rejected the offer simply because I know that I will  not be happy with it and need to sacrifice most of my time since I prefer spending my TIME with people special and close to my heart than working hard just for money. I am not a slave of money but merely money is my slave. That's where my happiness is.

Some of my friends are earning 3x higher than my compensation but almost 50% of them are saying that they are really tired of their work because of the schedules (most of them are working late night) and really wanted to quit their job and to look for a new job that will give them "time-freedom" to enjoy.

But still, some of them are happy even if they are working late nights because they are satisfied with the compensation that they are receiving from their office.

As you see, it is a matter of preference of what happiness really means to you. Just remember, money is everywhere but your time is very limited so choose wisely in dealing with your happiness in life.

Time is limited, remember that.

^ i do not agree, neither do i disagree.

happiness is a good "measure" but it can never be quantified.

Ako rin, hihirit sa iyo, yung totoo, hindi ka rin ba nainggit sa iba mong friends who earned 3X more? isnt it a coping mechanism to kinda justify what you are feeling.

for me, i never get contented. my personal take on that is its your choice to be "comfortable" with what you have. but you can definitely earn more but of course, getting there will take up much of your time and energy.

That's absolutely true. Same as happiness being subjective.

Some people do enjoy have a relatively smaller income and enjoying the "extra" time to themselves. While some are more competitive and have a burning desire to climb up that corporate ladder.

So going back to where we started, the question "Masaya ka ba?" (Are you happy?) is in reference to what fulfills you. If it's a good title, high pay and loads of responsibilities, then at the end of the day you are happy. But that also does not give us the right to question other people's perception of their happiness, right? :-)

With all honesty, I am not. :)

baka hindi kasi balanced? well subjective lang kasi. wala talaga makakapag-question kung ano ang opinion mo.

Ako high salary naman and ok schedule. After 8 hrs., iwan na lahat sa office. I can earn more pero I choose to stay kasi alam kong di ko maeenjoy yung kung anong schedule meron ako ngayon dun sa ibang high paying companies. Mahirap yung malaki nga sweldo mo eh halos buong buhay mo naman sa office mo lang naspent. Take note, hindi lang 8 hrs ang inaallot mo sa work. Sama mo pa yung time mo pagpeprepare pumasok plus travel time. Sa current job ko ngayon, naeenjoy ko family ko. Work is created for man not the other way around. Salary or Schedule, answer is both dapat iconsider.

pwede naman both.

napaisip din ako kasi topic siya sa radio the other day. iba-iba rin kasi ang "happiness" levels ng mga tao. PERO hindi mo maitatanggi na hindi nagiging parte ng buhay mo ang PERA. haha.

schedule pa rin. para sa akin mali ang kaisipang uunahin mo yung pera para yumaman at magkaroon ng time. ma-realize mo na lang sa huli, wala ka ng time, kahit may pera ka na...

Iba-iba talaga ang kahulugan ng "happiness" sa bawat isa.

Like for me, I'm indeed happy simply because I have all the luxury of time in the world and all the pleasure it can give me even if I am earning low amount of money. :)
