Makati!

The only times I went to Makati is to hangout, attend seminars or for a job interview :P I never really got a chance to work in Makati but based from my experience going there for seminars, the traffic and crowd is way crazy! MRT stations are always packed with people. I live in QC area so if my seminar is in Ayala, instead of Riding the MRT going to North EDSA, I'd ride one going to Taft, wait for a while and do a roundtrip :P That saves me the hassle of joining the crowd :D It's also a bit difficult to hail taxis especially during rush hours :D Because of those reasons, as much as possible, I avoid Makati areas. Lol! but Makati's a great place. I love their malls and restaurants. I miss Banapple the most!

well I work in makati, at first I wasso amazed with the place, its like the New York of our country but I'm getting tired of it. You know wearing corporate clothes, then I have to drive through 3 different cities before I get there,The apartments there were kind of expensive so I live in near by city. That city is not safe at night, I had been robbed there before on my way to the nearest ministop branch, thankfully I have a martial art background or that damn ^&%$&& might have killed me., I work in the night shift so I dont get to enjoy the malls and other hang out places in Makati.

I have worked in Makati, when i was just training for my first job. Also , i was there when i was trained to become an officer of our company in my earlier jobs. It's indeed a nice place to work, because the place is really very beautiful. You are surrounded with lots of tall buildings and malls. But other than that, i still prefer working here in the province. It's nice to work in Makati, if your place of work is just a walking distance from there. If not, it would be hell commuting to and from your place. It's the travel time actually that is draining. It's also nice to work there if your salary is high paying and would be more than for your expense. if not, well better work in a place near your home.

Its nice to work in Makati because its the business central of the Philippines. Lots of opportunities here if you are looking for a job. MRT s*cks! haha! the last time I rode in it, my left arm hurt a little because it got stuck for minutes. Its hard to move when its so crowded inside the train.

I've worked for 3 different call center companies in Makati and I agree that traffic is the main disadvantage in working there. Plus if you are commuting, you have to walk going to your place of work because of the loading and unloading point. For me, that could be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Advantage because that is an exercise but disadvantage if you are already late for work. :)

I worked in Makati before and I can say it's one of the best place to work. For me nothing can compare to the opportunities and ambiance of Makati. As we all know Makati is the business hub of the Philippines and no doubt about that. You can Philippine Stock Exchange, main offices of the largest banks, largest food chains, fabulous malls, and many others.

I have worked in makati. But i kind of resigned from there because i live a few more mrt stations away from the said location. it is a good place to work, very accessible, but traffic is very heavy too. That is why i do no enjoy my time there and i had to always be in a hurry. Its a good location for work for people in the south area or within the vicinity but add about 30 minutes more of travel time if there are no traffic, then i think it is not healthy anymore. When i worked there, i am always tired. I am easily tired because of the heat, of the trouble i had to go through in the mrt station and the long wait hours before i could get a ride. It would take me total of 3 hours for travel time everyday to and from work. it stresses me out! imagine 2/3 of my time is spent out of home =(

I used to work in Makati, but that was a long time ago. Then our office transferred in Pasig, Ortigas. Makati is really nice, but it's so far from my home. Ortigas is also a nice place to work, it's like a little makati, plus it's nearer from my home.

I have worked in Makati for just 3 days but compare to Ortigas, I think Makati is a lot better, one for its cleanliness and two, for its discipline.

I haven't worked in Makati but I had gone there. It's really a nice place. One of my sons works there and I guess he likes working there. I can't also compare whether it's nice working there or not because I work in Mindanao. As to the beauty of the place, well Makati is the best. I stay in Quezon City whenever I am in Metro Manila.

I don't have anything bad to say about Makati but it is quite inconvenience for me to work there when I can get the same line of work in Quezon city. The only issue I have with Makati is the traffic and their traffic rules, I ride a motorcyle and as much as possible, I never pass makati. The traffic officers there are like officers from hell based on my experience.

I don't really know about that. I haven't tried working there. But I have heard though that Makati is a really good place.

Makati isn't a bad choice when it comes to finding a job as they do offer many. But if you say the best place to work - for practical reasons - you may consider some place else. If you reside within the area, then I would personally suggest you go for it! But if not, the expenses of living (fare, food, etc2) is way to much for a lifestyle. Consider CEBU, less traffic, less expenses with regards daily living. And I've heard they offer good paying jobs.
