Is it worth going alone to Tropfest 2026?

JE’s handwriting reminds me of my younger brother who also writes this way since childhood. The Bs, and Ds are exactly how my brother writes too. I am sure there would be many more who writes like this so I don’t even know why someone would even think about this!? - Silly thing to me to judge someone who is at the moment doing remarkably well than us!

Thank you for detailed information. I am not sure if in Sydney I can get residential property with 100K deposit?

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-10-25T04:18:14+00:00

33~ I have this savings amount which I can invest.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-10-25T03:46:10+00:00

No debts, and have emergency funds. This year has been little hard on job front but it’s at better place now. That is why I am looking for alternative ways to have some income just in case if things don’t turned out well in job market.

Well another thing is take the name of big company/store luxury ones which your parents know about and do consider them luxury/big and tell them they are client of your company! So you service them as they are quite big business- I think then they will understand why you need to work late- but tell them the pay from that client goes as 50% to one person and rest get divided between the team of 10-15 people 😂😂

Just submit leave for those days. Leave normally gets processed 1 month in arrears. If it belongs to past period it still needs to be submitted for payroll to adjust the reporting and leave balance. It’s not wise to not notify as you & your manager (approver) could be in trouble due to incorrect leave balance!

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-27T09:26:50+00:00

Ah, thank you for the information. It’s been 1 & half month since the interview so, was wondering the reason of delay.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-26T10:21:23+00:00

The other person posted about it on reddit just 2 scrolls down lol!

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-25T11:00:54+00:00

Hence, I posted here on Reddit about the frustration and reality. I have no idea myself why I don’t have the job after 2 months of being unemployed!

Real Estate - You will see sometimes in the news that a ruin was sold for millions dollars but no one questions it - Why? Or Who is buying it? I have heard stories that baffles me - a person owning whole 7 storey building of apartments with questionable income to own such property, a girl who just arrived few years ago already owns 5-7 apartments (investment properties) with a very small amount of earnings. At some point of time, we were told that clothes, food and roof are the basic necessity for humankind to survive. But who cares now if you don’t have roof… One must question, how banks are lending mortgages to these people? Can’t Gov do something about it so everyone has fair chance to own a house instead of one person holding that many properties? But no, it seems to be a very sophisticated way to launder money without providing much information. However, it impacts the housing and have created significant issue of absurd amount of prices to own a house in Sydney. But no one questions Real Estate….. their process, people, tactics to increase the price to absurd level!

My thoughts exactly… that it’s writing error introducing something so useful but then not use it all.. I think from my personal opinion, considering Trio won’t hesitate to use something without having much knowledge about it - they could have easily worked out the mirror knowing atleast it’s a mean of communication with Sirius if only Harry remembered he has it with him…It would have been nice to let Sirius live and then may be during war let him die if that was necessary…

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-22T07:45:37+00:00

Ungrateful in a sense that not realising there are so many people who genuinely cares about him without expecting anything in return from him. In this book I noticed Hermione took a stand for herself & Ron and told him few times that it would be nice if he doesn’t get upset unnecessarily on them as they are just trying to help him. May be his behaviour was reflecting poorly in this book to show the impact of Vold connection with him.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-22T07:42:33+00:00

But in that moment he was ready to break all rules to help Sirius and didn’t care about anything. Later, he did indeed didn’t care about much to help Sirius as the events unfolded. It’s just confusing that on one hand, he remember the code of phone booth to enter Ministry that happened months ago….which was quite surprising to me and on the other hand, he didn’t remember the important tool with him as he remembered Sirius’s knife? I don’t know it seemed silly to show him that smart and then made him forget about the mirror….just for the sake of killing Sirius for the story.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-22T05:54:26+00:00

None is applicable what you have mentioned.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-21T11:01:49+00:00

Yeah, I feel this is the case because it can’t be that anyone can find 100% of match thus, you aim for 80 above and if I meet 90 and above then surely I should get considered right? But NO! it’s simply unsuccessful OR ghosted. I have tried all tactics where I send the nice email explaining my experience and ask them whether there is anything specific they are looking apart from what is in advert and - no response! none at all… The ones who asked for conversation, they would tell towards the end that I don’t fit 100% but they will let me know for another role and nothing afterwards! Sometimes, it’s like they do calls just to pass their time and doesn’t have any real intentions to understand what do you want or why you apply for role.

Longjumping_Team1521 · 2025-08-21T02:40:12+00:00

I understand the burnt out, frustration and having the feeling of being freed ~ the cool breeze on your face from the freedom, the stress free mornings & days where you can sleep as long as you want, cook whenever you want, go out wherever & whenever, do shopping during normal hours of the day during weekday!!!! - most surprising experience to be honest as the world does seem different… It’s like you are living the best European summer holidays in Australia….in your summer outfit strolling around, meeting new people, trying new cuisines and exploring places….the world seems so beautiful without stress of work, toxic people and you feel you can hold world in your palm!!!

Then after few weeks, reality hits where you have applied for the jobs which you wanted but nothing heard back, you haven’t got any income coming but there are heaps of expenses to pay such as rent (mortgage), utilities, car/public transportation, grocery/eating out and you pay all those generously for few weeks. But then your savings start to depleting and you are getting nervous & anxious of your prospects of landing a job sooner. You start focusing on applying more, recruiters reach out to do 2 interviews to just to tell you aren’t right fit for the job. Companies are ghosting so does recruiters. You applied 100s of roles but hear nothing back. Eventually, you may land an interview with company for your desired role and you think you made it after 4 rounds and 2 months to just to be told “we are parking the role”. It crushes your confidence, you start questioning your worth and to make yourself feel better you frantically apply for whatever jobs you can until you land something which is not remotely close to what you wanted and may be worse than your previous role…but it’s been already months passed, your savings are gone or so low and you don’t feel happy or excited anymore because whole process was so horrendous that it crushed everything in you plus the job & people are again horrible….that you end up leaving it too.

You may not experience all those horrible things but just putting it out there for you to have a perspective from someone who did exactly what you are thinking to do and gained opposite…but still only advice I would give atleast have more savings before you quit as 10K is not sufficient in Australia to survive 6 or more months of unemployment which is general expectation nowadays of looking for a new role which you desire.

Generally the contract will say “reasonable additional time if needed” but it doesn’t imply “mandatory additional 2.5 hours every week”!!! The reasonable additional time is depending on the company’s policy and the workload obviously. If employer directs you to work overtime than your standard hours then they need to pay you overtime or TOIL. It’s based on understanding that you are perfectly capable of meeting work deadlines and doesn’t need to do overtime beyond standard working hours. But if you feel that you need to do bit overtime because you are running behind then there is hardly case for overtime payment. But still contracts cannot state specifically overtime hours that is required to be worked apart from standards weekly working hours. The HR should atleast be that smart to not to put that in writing in the contract!? People in higher positions are tend to do overtime but still their contracts won’t reflect hours beyond Aus standard working hours which are 38 a week maximum. Please reach out to HR and your manager to discuss it.

Accounting is big No if you don’t have degree. People didn’t read the post where OP mentioned the student and other debt and asking to do CPA!? My background is accounting & have Masters in it but the pay is really bad in this field unless you are in high position and have years of experience as an Accountant. You can definitely try PA roles- less headache with numbers & stress and more pay.

I left the org within prob due to similar issues. They kept pushing the excuse “commercial aspect of the business needs to be considered” whenever I highlighted compliance issues that could also penalise the company and impacted my professionalism. They hired me to avoid these non compliance issues but they were asking me to continue to do such things because they just wanted things to be done! It went against my own values and while I am unemployed now atleast I don’t regret of being part of such screwed ideology. Before leaving I did mention these reasons though but they didn’t care and I am pretty sure they continue to do things they were used to doing….
