What VAs on Reddit say about VA Masters
These are real comments from r/buhaydigital threads about VA Masters, kept exactly as written (many are in Taglish). We grouped them by topic, including the critical ones.
The hiring process, step by step
VAs who went through it describe a real, multi-step process: an assessment, an initial interview, a final client interview, then orientation.
r/buhaydigital@Brilliant_Style1121I went through all the assessment before and luckily I got hired po. After the assessment, may initial interview, then ung final interview. Nakakakaba pero mababait ung interviewer and after mahire po, may orientation din… Ung offer depende din sa work mo eh, they will inform you naman and ang maganda sa VA Masters is that you can discuss your rate to them as well.
r/buhaydigital@Background_Slip3080Legit na company to. I was able to apply and go through the whole process hanggang sa final stage at skill test nila, which is to check kung kaya mo ang trabaho. Okay naman yung process, at nakilala ko pa yung clients. Ang bait nilang lahat, tapos flexible pa yung work hours. Sa huli, di ako na-hire kasi nagkabangga lang yung clients ko, pero so far, fair at professional sila. Maganda rin siya experience lalo na sa mga nagsisimula pa sa pagiging VA.
Skills tests that match the real job
The most common praise: the test is a sample of the actual work, not a generic quiz.
r/buhaydigital@Personal-Smile4464Nag apply din ako Operation & Executive admin VA. A bit tedious yes, but it is a sample work like ganyan ata talaga ang gagawin pag mahahire kana. Sa lahat ng screening test na nagawa ko yun sa VA master ang naenjoy ko. Yun ibang screening test kase napakalayo sa work ang test eh atleast sa VA master actual skills ang gagamitin. Also yun bookkeeper VA test they provided a sample quickbooks test na talagang ganun ang work. Just my opinion bro I think better take the test and not waste the opportunity to learn a thing or two.
Recruiters who coach you
Applicants mention recruiters helping them prepare for the client interview.
r/buhaydigital@_bbgurlNag apply ako recently sa Amazon SEO position. Sobrang bait ng recruiter ko. Tinulungan niya ko mag prepare ng mga sagot sa client interview and binigyan niya pa ako ng tips. Tapos na client interview ko. Naghihintay nalang ako ng feedback. Hoping na makapasa ako 🤞🏻
Rates and part-time roles
Rates depend on the role, and VAs say you can discuss yours.
r/buhaydigital@Brilliant_Style1121Opo madami din silang part time. Sa interview, just be honest lang po na may other job ka, okay lang din sa kanila na may other job ka, as long as pagoras mo sa client, focus ka sa client po…
The honest side: waiting and speed
Not every thread is praise. These are the frustrations applicants share most, kept here as written.
r/buhaydigital@No-Tangerine2721I just received an email from them a while ago after I took the assessments last week and it says that they have already reviewed the assessments but the position will be on hold for a while so there's no moving forward in the making, I should just wait for them. The thing is WAS that a valid reason for me to wait or I have been already rejected lowkey
r/buhaydigital@Loud_Temperature_530parang they value speed nga. they did say they favor those na mabilis magreply. automation specialist pa naman yung inapplyan ko haha. sana ako yung una nagsubmit T^T
"Rigorous tlga yung process": a VA Masters VA weighs in
This commenter says they work for VA Masters, so read it as an insider view, not a neutral one. It is still the clearest description of how demanding the process is.
r/buhaydigital@Street-Situation-349Hi, I work for VA Masters, i would say rigorous tlga yung process. if you check chatgpt. They have low % of passing rate. If you are not up to the challenge, then you're not their target market.
Personally, if you value growth and sure na sure ka gusto mo gumaling sa niche mo. Then try VA masters.
but if you're just looking at the salary first or just a job. then this is not for you.
r/buhaydigital@Street-Situation-349It's all about perspective po. If you're not up to the challenge, then you're not their target market. They hire top tier VA's with intensive training program. Very good with professionals who are really looking to grow and be the best in their niche.

IndeedVirtual Assistant · July 1, 2026One thing I appreciate most is that they don't micromanage. They trust their VAs to do their jobs professionally and don't require time-tracking software or constantly monitor every task you complete.
IndeedCustomer Service Representative · August 7, 2026The culture that they have, and the way they handle their VAs are the things that made me appreciate being with this company. Although, it would be nice if they can do a bi-weekly payout than Monthly. But overall experience IT IS 100/10!
IndeedAdmin VA · September 3, 2026… Management communicated consistently and the culture was supportive. The hardest part is that placements depend on client demand, so the length of an engagement is not always in your hands. …
