m working in the building across benguet center, parallel to ADB compound, 10 mins walk from SM Megamall and very near El pueblo and beside JMT...got it?

yup...it's better here sa ortigas...iwas traffic tapos malapit pa sa mall kaya madali kapag mid-night sale. ang problema lang nga...hirap kumuha ng cab. so if you happen to see someone hailing a cab near the building i am describing, 99.9% chance, ako yon. :rotflmao:

JMT Building din. Fresh air? di ah... I think anywhere within metro manila hindi fresh =). And ang hirap ngang kumuha ng Cab lalo na at night, no wonder yung members ng Integrated Bar of the Philippines naglaunch ng campaign against cab drivers na namimili ng pasahero.

lalo na pag holiday season or when the malls have their 3-day Sale. Buti na lang you can walk from any point in the Center to Edsa or Ortigas Extension or Shaw Boulevard since malapit lang sila.

bittersweet: Yup! i have many choices when my stomach gets hungry! - the expensive restos in Pearl Plaza and those not-so-expensive but not really cheap either :)) small stalls near HotShots burger - Q's, Zuppa, Little China, Burning Rod, Park Grill, Patio Grill etc. You could also go for Grill 56, NYPD, Yaku, Henlin, EasyWay at the back of San Miguel - these are also near my office.

Hmmmmmmm.......nagutom ako sa pag-enumerate ng mga food stores dito ah! :D:lol:

You mean your company has client in PSEC. Mahirap bang mag-program sa labas? Are you a Web App Programmer? Satisfied with your salary? Dami question ko no.

I agree with Uncle Bob, ...best area to work, fresh air, only private vehicles (no buses)

I also work here at Jollibee Plaza and live 5 minutes away!

quarklion:

no, actually PSEC is a building. that's where my "previous" office was at. i worked as a software developer but i also do web design. primarily, am focussed on object oriented programming. The pay i got from my last employer was above average, as they say it. medyo ok na rin para sa akin. but when i hit manila back on the 11th, maghahanap ulit ako ng work. hopefully, i get a better offer.

ako naman ang tanong sa yo... where u working?

bittersweet_hun,

Well, I am sofware developer and do some web apps too. Our Phil office is located in PSEC East tower. I've been in this company for 2.5 years and I'm not very satisfied with the salary I'm recieving. I want 30k+. Do you think I'm expecting too much? Though my work is very "laxed", I work with a team in inhouse development a little exposure to onsite development. When you are onsite do u still work as team? What if you need some code libraries, how do u handle it? I see that your not working in PSEC anymore. How long u have worked in PSEC?
