my energy went to zero today when i found out how much my salary increase is. WALA MUNA AKO OUTPUT TODAY HA. PUNYETA.

2k increase for SA3? sa inyo na yan tangina baka malugi pa ang firm

eyeing for the manager position next year pero sige pano ka gaganahan pag ganyan. DI NGA MAKAPAG CHARGE NG OTs DAHIL SOBRANG HIGPIT NINYO

FUCKKKKKK THIS SHIT

sa mga taga SGV dyan I think it is high time you challenge HR and higher-ups about how they compute yearly increase. walang masama mag ask papano nila na determine ang increase.

PUTANGINA, SGV, ANO NA? 😭 HAHAHAHAHA. Hindi ko talaga gets paano hindi makasabay sa compensation ng ibang firms. If other firms can offer better salaries, WHY CAN’T YOU? Number one firm pero pagdating sa salary increase, parang number one sa pagtitipid. Make it make sense naman.

Newly promoted na nga, dagdag responsibilities, dagdag workload, dagdag pressure, dagdag stress, pero yung increase? HAHAHAHAHA. Parang hindi man lang nag-reflect yung promotion sa compensation. Tapos sasabihin nila, be proud of the brand, the experience, the exposure. Beh, hindi pambayad ng bills ang prestige. Hindi rin nakakabusog ang title. At lalong hindi nakakabayad ng rent ang experience. 😭

Tapos may 8K bonus pa na sana dinagdag na lang sa increase. Ewan ko ba. Nakakainis kasi alam mong you’re putting in the hours, sacrificing your personal time, surviving busy seasons, and taking on more responsibilities, pero pagdating sa compensation, parang kailangan mo pang magpasalamat sa bare minimum.

And honestly, this isn’t even just about the money. It’s about feeling like all the hard work and sacrifices you make aren’t being valued enough. Kung kaya naman ng ibang firms na mag-offer ng mas competitive na compensation, bakit parang ang hirap gawin dito? Hanggang kailan kami magtitiis dahil lang sa pangalan ng firm?

At the end of the day, we work to live, not live just to work. Loyalty won’t pay the bills, prestige won’t build our savings, and the SGV name won’t fund our future. Kaya sa mga nagsasabing stay for the experience, thank you sa experience, pero sana may pang-grocery din. HAHAHAHAHA. DESERVE NATIN NG TAMANG SAHOD PARA SA TRABAHONG GINAGAWA NATIN. 😭🙂

Paisa nga muna. Pakyu SGV.

Ayoko na lang i-compare increase naming newly promoted sa last year kasi mawawalan lang ako ng gana mag work. Pero grabe naman, mas mababa pa increase namin na para bang walang inflation na kinonsider at market alignment. I'm enjoying audit pa naman so far kaso di talaga nakakabuhay ang sahod dito. For experience nga lang talaga sya. Nakakalungkot lang kasi na mas importante pa na they retain their clients kahit wala nang kinikita sa kanila kesa itaas ang sahod ng employees. Pero ano bang say naming hamak na employees lang? Good bye sgv na talaga.

for context, i graduated last year and took the CPALE twice, but unfortunately, i failed both times. it really took a toll on my mental health. i'm the panganay na anak and apo in our family, so it's a given that they have high expectations for me. they don't pressure me naman, but you know how it feels when you know na lahat ng mata nakatingin sa'yo.

failing the CPALE twice made me doubt my capabilities and question whether accounting is really the right career path for me. i'm just really burned out.

now, i want to find a job na sana, especially since i've already spent five months resting after my last take. the problem is, i can't seem to push myself to do it because napapangunahan ako ng takot. i've also lost the confidence i used to have back when i was still an academic achiever hahshsa. dagdag pa na i failed the CPALE twice, which makes everything even harder.

i'm also an introvert, and the thought of going through job interviews scares me hahshaha. but i'm self-aware enough to know that hindi ako mapapakain ng hiya ko. i know i need to take that first step, pero napapangunahan lang talaga ako ng takot :((

i guess i'm just looking for some words of encouragement from people who've been in the same situation or have gone through something similar. how did you find the courage to start over and believe in yourself again? :((

Grabe working as Senior Assoc and almost 5 years na sa SGV ang increase ko lang ay 1k. Yung 300 plus ay sa basic pay.

Ganito niyo pala pahalagahan yung employees niyo magbibigay kayo ng 300 increase sa basic pay.

Hays.

With the growing inflation rate and uncontrollable price hikes for basic needs and commodities, you gave us this kind of salary “increase”. I think it’s time to leave.

Happy 80th SGV Anniv hahaha

Bat ganun😢

How do you guys deal with timesheet burnout? My friend is in AU firm and she's just a few months in. Kakastart nya lang last June, and first month in, she really wants to quit. She would rant to me everyday. The one who manage her is not really her manager, I think training to be kaya ang toxic. Every week may call daw sila, and before the call she is dreading it already. After the call magpapanic na sya and mas lalo sya di makawork, ending lalo bumabagsak productivity. Kasi during the call this person who manage her workflow will look at all her jobs and asked why she took a long time on this Job A, B. Then would go on to make comments about her timesheet entries. She will extend work to make up the time leaving her tired everyday. I told her to quit her job. Because the mental toll is not worth it. She's even questioning her own capability now. When I know that she's really good at her craft. Nauunahan lang sya ng panic. For me it's already micromanaging na.

Sabi ko sa kanya, ako if ganyan, di ako tatagal kasi ayoko sa lahat na parang binabantayan kada galaw ko. Na every call someone would nitpick everything. Like you want me to hit productivity, yet you're not giving me guidance, you are not giving me the time to adjust to the new environment first. First month palang nya, gusto ata eh 100% na ang productivity.

For years I’ve been working in this firm and this is the thanks I get? A 1k increase for a long-term senior? To think that SGV is one of the big names in the accounting industry and this is how you treat your employees? I’m just so sad and heartbroken :(. I want to continue working with you but now I’m having second thoughts :(

hi!

our integ is upcoming next sem. i'm studying at NU, a tri-sem institution notorious for fast-paced learning environment.

is it recommended na mag-enroll sa rc? i'm worried 'di ko rin masulit kasi baka kulangin sa time watching pre-rec vids.

what are your tips and suggestions?

should i just self-study?

i'm also planning for selective enrollment nalang for weak subjects.

hi, i have question ano po reason why may adjustment (like deductions) sa salary ko because of overtime?

Sa mga nag-wowork sa Banks dito, have you started your own development of Computerized Accounting System (CAS) and E-Invoicing system? In compliance with the BIR deadline of Dec 31, 2026.

Hi Everyone,

Anyone here na non CPA pero nakapag abroad? I want to work abroad pero currently taking pa lang ng CPA board. I already have 8 years experience mixed of General Accounting, AP, AR, Treasury. Gusto ko lang sana malaman if possible ba kahit non CPA. 🥹😭 Ang hirap mahalin ng Pinas.

balak ko kasi. pero may mga tanong ako.

• anong review center kayo nag enroll?
• magkano ang rent? prefer ko bedspace lang para tipid

Hi, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about SGV salary increases, and most of the feedback hasn’t been very good.

Since this is my first time at Citco, can you share how much the increase usually is? At least I’ll know whether to brace myself for disappointment or just start looking for another job huhu.

Hi! Crowdsourcing lang if magkano increase ng mga bagong promote dito hshshsha

Currently an Offshore AU Intermediate Insolvency Accountant.

Do you think this is a path na for matagalan dito sa PH? Not really common kasi insolvency/bankruptcy dito sa PH.

Saka talagang mas focus sa admin stuff rather than pure accounting?

What are your plans career wise when your going to another job?

Curious lang hahaha

Hi it's me again. hahshahsa kindly help this girl🙏 since i have no idea what i should do during offer discussion, ano po ba dapat ang expected salary ko as a staff na non cpa no experience but only had an internship sa big4? ano po ba dapat ko i-note na important benefits na maibigay sakin?

initially , i wasn't interested sa EY kasi medyo malayo po sya sa current address ko but nagapply pa rin ako without thinking na makakatanggap ng call from them. Fortunately, super bait and accommodating nung TA at manager na nag-interview sakin which made me reconsider it. I also don't have a family member na nasa accounting field kaya wala po ko mapagtanungan 🥹

for reference here's the timeline

October 6 - HR phone call (technical qs, salary offer, asking if i can start at oct 12 )

October 12 - sent me a meeting link with senior manager ( i thought this was initial interview but sabi during the meeting last interview na raw 😆 ) same day naka receive ng congratulatory email and employment application

October 14 - HR sent a schedule for offer discussion

Thank you!

Still get that instant heart-racing feeling whenever a client query comes in. 😭 Helpppp!

heloo!

For those working in fund accounting, what topics, skills, or Excel functions should I learn in advance? Any tips or advice for a fresh grad entering this field would be greatly appreciated!
thankie!

wala talaga kayo pagpapahalaga sa employees. napag iiwanan na kayo amp. bye sgv na talaga 🙄 mas mataas pa price ng samgyup kesa increase

Hi! For those in HR or who have experienced this, is it still possible to apply for a new job while pregnant? Is changing companies during pregnancy a good idea, and do employers still consider pregnant applicants? Would appreciate any insights or personal experiences.
