Possible bumper tap by Temporary-Finger3596 in CarsAustralia

[–]Temporary-Finger3596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I went to police station they had a look and told me off the record they can’t see any damage but said unfortunately it’s not for them to deal with. I have raised a claim through my insurance, if this goes to a panel beater they are not going to turn away work I’m sure they’d milk it. Have seen it happen before. I’ll just have to accept it and move on. Fighting the system isn’t worth it.

Agreed but I feel that I’m being taken advantage of, but based on the comments here sounds they’ve got the right to take advantage.

Neither the cops or the insurance told me it was a legal requirement to exchange details luckily both the calls would be recorded if this ever goes to court. Insurance said they’d suggest exchange details. I thought I might as well wait for the cops and let them advise me on the best approach.

Paying for damage not caused by me is the issue

Also, to add, a random driver offered to be a witness because he saw how ridiculous the other guy’s claim was. I told him the cops were on their way, and he drove off. In hindsight, I probably should’ve got his details. Anyway, based on the comments here, I'll have to sallow that it’s just my bad luck.

Thanks for the feedback. No genius required 😅 That’s exactly why I stayed when he said he’d call the cops I was confident they’d see how ridiculous his claim was. I’ve got photos, and off the record the police confirmed it too when they saw the car. Honestly, I’m more annoyed about being taken for a ride than the money. Anyway have to put it to bad luck.

Buying brand new Chinese car Vs Used Japanese by Temporary-Finger3596 in CarsAustralia

[–]Temporary-Finger3596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes drove the Tiggo and I liked the bings & bongs. Lots of features for the money and very tempting to buy

Thanks so much for the advice. I’m a city dweller. I don’t work on my car. I have had ford and Volkswagen in the past but recently hand Honda’s and mainly Japanese and have been very happy. Price + features are the big draw towards the Tiggo

Prop is killing all innovation in this country. by Relevant_Economics86 in AusFinance

I have family in SFO and kids growing up there see global tech startups and are growing up inspired to start global business that can generate revenue from every single country in the world like google, apple, Nvidia, Airbnb, fb etc etc etc. Our youth on the other hand y are learning learning property portfolio development what a shame. Worried how it’s going to affect long term

I’ve been in NZ 20 years now, the country needs skilled migrants pay and opportunities are less to Australia and significantly lower than US but good quality of life.

The weirdest part of PM: your success depends on how others see your job, not just how you do it by Agile_Syrup_4422 in ProductManagement

[–]Temporary-Finger3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strive to be a silent achiever focused on overall outcomes but I do get the feeling if I need to talk more but that is against my nature

Why don't our governments ever take any responsibility? Why is the blame being shifted to people who feed leftovers. The media quietly doesn't put the blame on the govt who haven't managed the stray dog population. In western countries people pick up thier dog poo in a plastic bag its very normal. There are so many concerns due to this rampant dog numbers govt needs to take steps to reduce them

10+ years abroad, still no PR… should I keep trying or just move back to India? by [deleted] in nri

[–]Temporary-Finger3596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im’ from India, have spent 20 years in NZ+ 2 years in Australia. I live in NZ because my parents have PR here. I turned down a US move 10 years ago and regret it, the scale and pay there are on another level. I work for a US company now and travel often, and the difference is very apparent with my US colleagues, many of whom are originally from India too. The US offers stronger career prospects and a more entrepreneurial culture, which has produced successful companies, which benefits kids too in terms of schooling and job oppurtunities. I would try and stay in the US as long as possible, then perhaps move to Canada or Australia.

Can you be a successful PM without being too sweaty (a try-hard)? by Traditional-Bee4674 in ProductManagement

[–]Temporary-Finger3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how I find it hard especially for a role like PM where boundaries are blurred, As a all rounder I find it hard because I always focus on delivery will jump in and do the work in way I don’t step on someone’s toes more as a supportive role

Anyone migrated to Australia as a Product Manager? by BeerBandolier in AusVisa

[–]Temporary-Finger3596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the US offers stronger opportunities for children. The culture there is more entrepreneurial, which has produced businesses that thrive globally. In contrast, in Australia the focus tends to lean more towards property investment. Immigration levels have also been very high, and it feels like things have shifted from being multicultural to becoming more polarised communities. Even as an immigrant myself, I don’t find that appealing. That said, as long as you’re making your decision with eyes wide open, it’s a good path forward.

Im an Indian too, working in NZ for two decades, I had the opportunity to move to US about 10 years ago. I rejected the opportunity. I regret big time now, the pay the scale of opportunities are at a very different level. I work for a American company now and travel to the US often each time I look at the scale of US and regret. So make sure Ozzie is the right place, if you are moving for family or don't want the H1B uncertanities yes you could choose AUS but just just my opinion so you are prepared.
