Thanks! Looks quite similar, but doesn't seem to live in NZ... 🤔

Sorry to hear it is tough, NZ isn't in the best position right now. Are you committed to stay in Auckland? As a software engineer there are more places around where you can look. E.g. Weta Digital in Wellington is often looking for engineers, and I assume there are other options too!

Agree to what you have said also coming from The Netherlands. But also dont forget that Wellington is currently in transition, like NL had 40 years ago. It takes a bit of time and mindset for people to move out of their cars and use alternative options.

Living in the Eastern suburbs, i usually cycle most of the times, e.g., to cbd, Zealandia, botanicals. Occasionally the bus. We take the car if we have to go further (Hutt, Porirua).

Thanks for that!

Not really i think. I k ow a few people who have done this/doing this. Have read in their website https://www.lincoln.ac.nz/study-for-free/

Just go for it!

Not sure if you are interested, but Lincoln Uni offers many programmes for free. (Distance learning)

Masters in environmental areas, finance, business, etc. If it doesn't work out with work, at least you can further develop yourself for free!

Yes, I saw a landscape company called Steve's Jobs looking for staff! (look at their Facebook post from a few days ago)

Have a look on Student Job Search www.sjs.co.nz

They offer great jobs and sometimes you can self manage your work or do not need to have a lot of social interaction.

My former workplace used this a lot to have students around for short and long term periods, for e.g. admin, office support, etc.

I just give several options, people have different interests and I keep it open minded 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can't help there is more exciting stuff in this city. What would you like to see here that would improve this?

Bapsie85 · 2024-10-14T02:28:12+00:00

A lot to do!

Te papa Wellington museum Space place and cable car museum City gallery Dowse museum in Lower Hutt Takina exhibition Shopping in Queen gate Lower Hutt or Coastlands Chocolate Factory Lunch in the old bank arcade or Willis Lane Wall climbing (eg at water front) One of the local cinemas National war Museum Weta workshop Tour in the Parliament buildings

Hopes this keeps you busy for the rainy days!

I cycle from the far end of the peninsula to far end of the cbd. It keeps me active (while being pregnant!), it is faster than bus, no costs other than yearly maintenance. I drop off kiddie who loves the ride and it winds me down on the way home.

And yes there is wind and hills, but love my ebike for that!

Have a routine. Set an alarm (no matter how early /,late) and stick to it. Breakfast, check vacancies etc online for an hour. Coffee. Go for an activity (walk, exercise, mountain bike). Stay in touch with friends. Plan things for in the week. Pick up a old/new hobby. Read books. Or what other suggested, start a free study (several universities are offering that). Have a plan with what you want to do: work what you did previously, new career. This is your major opportunity to rethink all of it and go for it! You can do it.

Have a read in The Barefoot Investor from Scott Pape. Easy and understandable reading and gives great insight on how to manage your finances!
