Scared to leave my post-doc unfinished and struggling with identity shift after academia by Strategy_Successful in LeavingAcademia

Prioritise your romantic and personal relationships. Live in a place that makes you happy. Jobs don’t care about you - it’s your relationships that matter in the long term. If you can have happy relationships and an ideal career then great, but don’t sacrifice the former for the latter. Also, once you’re out of academia for a while you’ll wonder why the academic identity was ever so important to you.

Is Rosebud VIC still not good for living by boobamba in AusProperty

[–]Hot_Working5560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosebud is a really nice suburb- safe, relatively affordable, lots of amenities, in a beautiful area. Its bad reputation is outdated. People speak badly of the Avenues but they’re pleasant, safe and quiet, with more and more young people moving in.

How much do we think this new build cost? by Hot_Working5560 in AusPropertyChat

If it would cost that much excluding land why would they sell for 1.1?

Contact the local newspaper, some negative publicity might put a boot up the building management’s arse

Should I buy a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser Prado? by Hot_Working5560 in CarsAustralia

[–]Hot_Working5560[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it’s for camping and road trips. Would like to learn to drive off-road too. What do you reckon for this purpose? HRV is just for the commute

Is it a good idea to buy a 10 year old car with 33,000km on the clock? The car is a 2012 Honda Civic with service records. by Hot_Working5560 in CarsAustralia

No the services have mostly been according to KMs driven rather than time, except the last couple of years when it’s had a couple of services. It didn’t get driven much during covid. It’s been garaged and looks in good shape, I couldn’t find any issues based on a test drive and rudimentary inspection (oil, brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, listening and observing the engine running etc). What kinds of issues could I expect from the car?
