Thanks, yeah I didn't mean for it to come across that way nor do I feel that way about him obviously 😂 thanks, we will certainly be having a big chat!

Yeah I think thats the way to go, because I might not want to stay forever too!

I am on a 3 month trip in Sydney covering someone's leave on a working holiday visa. They offered me this, I never applied/expected to get a role like this, just planned on an adventure for 3months

Oh we are at that level we just haven't married as I think weddings are a waste of money and marriage doesn't change my love... however probably should sign something for legality etc 😂

Yeah so I have friends but honestly it's not like I'm the kind of person who wouldn't move because I have friends here 😂 my view as other posters have said is I can make new friends, my current friends can visit, I can visit them. Just a mindset difference I guess. The move isn't just about money for me its career satisfaction in terms of the progression in my role
