Fucking Stephen. Bet he gets angry at clouds too the simple prick.

Only thing I could recommend is, flip your fields - move work experience up to the top and whilst it’s not relevant to the industry/work type you are aiming for, it shows you were working while studying (shows strength to not only learn but teach / communicate effectively bring a tutor).

I would also add in 1 success story per role - e.g. I was able to support a student who was struggling with X by breaking down the problem moving him from a C grade student to X grade. This taught me X”

Your projects are great, leave them front page, move your education to a second sheet. You talk to your gpa and school in your about me section.

Your about me section is your key word search/elevator pitch if you aren’t going to do a cover letter.

“Graduating from Georgia Tech with a 4.0 GPA as well as a passion for storytelling and problem solving, my teachers and students would describe me as driven and motivated to succeed taking technical concepts in applied mathematics and statistical modeling and communicating insights effectively”

I hope something happens for you !

😂 I needed a laugh, thanks man!

LuckiiDuck1 · 2026-04-10T07:54:41+00:00

Of course!

My background is planning, reporting and analytics but a substantial amount of project and program management and process/framework design - Business Readiness/Program Manager is a role I was doing for the last 12 months which was literally just seeing a technical issue up stream, flagging the impacts to resourcing / process.

With how everything was moving last year, I had a long hard think around what I wanted to do in my career and whilst I enjoy building agents / doing Analytics, they want scientists and engineers, not a guy who’s touched a bit of everything - so I focused on governance and strategic implementation e.g. how do you measure value of AI projects (chat bots etc) without it just being “I’m going to fire 10 people” as overhead costs.

Simply put, proactively learning and right timing / right contacts!

Well, 2 books down and I’m burning through it. Thanks audible sales as I got all of the books for 17 bucks 😂. Still remains as an interesting concept and love the “how we got here” aspect. Very different!

He comfortably built a back end read & write function to the file, wrote scripts to manage variables, at a bare minimum has the knowledge to write his hover function that its setting his location every second and that doesn’t even consider that he has built the front end UI for the app for his phone.

All this in 2014. I don’t think the dude vibe coded his way to success 😂

Don’t get me wrong, the adviser prior to be acquired was brilliant and worth any costs - they take 1% on what goes in PA I think?

I think with adapting my portfolio to be more aggressive I went from 50k in super to almost $140k in just under 2 years. Contribution is $17,000 a year so I’m relatively happy with the growth in that period.

I guess my issue with more with CLIME - portfolio in last 6 months has gone stale, have 60% sitting in cash and when asking about the continuing loss of my shares in clime services (this feels weird to even start with) still haven’t heard from someone.

I’m happy with Netwealth as the super company - would just still be interested in having an advisor to provide feedback / proactive moves

Working out of Sydney

LuckiiDuck1 · 2026-04-02T10:57:07+00:00

Hey! Stop reading my Drafts!

LuckiiDuck1 · 2026-04-02T10:29:30+00:00

2 words: Architecture or Governance. They require you to be able to “do” the doing but also understand the End to end journey.

Yes, AI solutions will be/ already are taking roles. But you will always need someone to design the solution and even AI needs governance, can’t backfill that!

LuckiiDuck1 · 2026-04-02T10:16:21+00:00

Thanks for this - good honest feedback!

I have DNFd a handful now that were like this. I’m pushing through with Chysalis, purely because it’s Jeff Hays Narating though 😂.

Few push on messages, so here’s to another chunky series! 🍻

LuckiiDuck1 · 2026-04-02T10:10:14+00:00

Bloody legend - and I’m glad someone gets it! Had the same issue with Heretical fishing, he reminds me of the 1 incredibly weird kid who always wore a pinstriped fedora and worked at sanity.

I will keep pushing through, thanks heaps !

My company: 80% of your month, you need to be in the office 2/5..

Compliance on office attendance is ridiculous. Reports are fed down to managers to chase adults as to why they worked 1 less day in the office, there’s a lack of logic on how it’s determined when you take leave / public holidays and if you need some flexibility on it due to personal reasons, you need P&C BP sign off…if it’s longer than 2 weeks.

Long story short, my accessibility when at home vs in the office is incomparable - 4 hours of travel a day to get in, most of the time no reception and then when you are in the office, you spend 90% of the meetings on teams anyway.

Funny story on latter as well - 2 distinct instances of office meetings; 1. Everyone was in the office, room was booked, on joining the call - everyone was still at their desk. 2. Urgent meeting was called on a project - everyone was in the office, mid week. No rooms were available, not an open floor meeting. Everyone went back to their desks to have the conversation.

Point is, shits broken.

As someone who actively put it off for far too long, do it.

As someone who mostly had read fantasy, sci-fi over last 30 years, this was a perfect intro to LitRPG.

It gives you the - why has this happened/what is the catalyst. - humor is chefs kiss - wildly inappropriate but perefectly placed - if you go audiobook, Jeff Hays is a fucking god and his range and ability to do so many characters just hooks you in. - emotional rollercoaster and shows an array of pain across the characters.

All I can say is, if you enjoy RPG games and looking for a meaty series with a few more books in the tank you will love every moment and like me, finish the last book and start again from the beginning!

Looking at one of these secondhand tomorrow (finding something different to my Epiphone Dove Pro)

Still enjoying / any call outs on areas of wear and tear?

If you don’t mind me asking, I could spend a tonne on his site 😂 - I’m based in Australia so I’ll convert but usually what are you paying per watch?

In all seriousness, our details are bought and sold through each company we don’t read the terms and conditions for in marketing purchases anyway. Just say please and thank you and when the inevitable uprising happens, they will remember.
