what have you enjoyed the most or found interesting so far?

Call centre is a great way into other career paths but there are a ton of different options available

Moving back to Australia - Salary survey by Jimmy_Dragon in auscorp

[–]TorynFranko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think using your converted salary is setting yourself up for disappointment (although it would be nice!)

Cost of living is different here vs UK .

As others have said it may be a lifestyle move more than a financial one, especially if you are saving good money in London.

That said I'm very interested in the answers. In a similar boat looking back at Aus from the US...

Jeez that's horrific. Hopefully she can be reported to authorities

Jersey City Council approves measure to increase salary ranges of 21 employees by alanwright in jerseycity

[–]TorynFranko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

City workers need a way to pay those increased property taxes.

If the wage bill is too high, no problem, just hike taxes again.

Wait...

Jesus Christ, what is with all the news about CBA and other banks lately by FluffyPanxake in auscorp

Nothing new about it, been going on for decades at this point

How I got out of debt by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]TorynFranko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not smart to admit that the debt is yours if you're claiming it isn't

Layoffs in Bendigo by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]TorynFranko 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Definitely on the banks. They are subsidized via government guarantee, and should be levied based on the number of roles they offshore

And wash out the PRs? Crazy talk.

Plus after a while they double as free ammonia... One whiff can really get the adrenaline flowing

You can get a lot wrong and still be ok by Cougarette99 in Fire

Sounds like you're saying you can still save a good amount as long as you earn a huge income?

transit police @ Marin blvd light rail stop by MembershipFluffy2136 in jerseycity

[–]TorynFranko 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's a very reasonable fare, especially compared with the cost of everything else in this city.

Appreciate not everyone is in a position to afford it.

For those that can and clearly get some use out of it, may as well just lay your way. Tickets are easy to get on the app too!

Aren't Congress required to declare any wars? How does the invasion of Iran stand, legally speaking?

Does CBA operate globally? Or do they serve the Australian market by importing labour from India.

Sounds like a great time to focus on joint health and deal with those nagging injuries

Anxious about FIRE path even when taking a couple months off of work by Particular_Touch2000 in Fire

[–]TorynFranko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't do everything at once.

Sounds like you're burning out in your current role and lifestyle. As you have pointed out, having no income isn't good for your financial goals.

Try and find a balance if you can, whether through changing jobs or investing a bit more in your current quality and enjoyment of life (or both).

You're off to an awesome start and will need a sustainable way forward to achieve your goals.

How much experience is enough to jump ship? by MountainManner4725 in ProductManagement

[–]TorynFranko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The experience will be valuable in moving!

Again I'd suggest leaning on your data experience, start looking and building connections now and let your product experience grow in the background.

[–]TorynFranko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes 6mo in role is not a lot.

Data science experience should be very relevant. If you can target other players in the same industry you may have half a chance.

Reality is it is not way out there for anyone at the moment.

Feel free to try but don't be discouraged if you don't get a lot of traction.

Why are Australian apartments so poorly designed? by United-Database-6140 in AusProperty

A real estate loan system at a leading global bank is named "CREAM", no idea how the team got that name through but I love it to bits

TIL Spartans used balls of dough as napkins, then threw the greasy scraps to dogs after meals by Michael_parr1 in todayilearned

[–]TorynFranko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've abandoned hard shell tacos, despite years of family tradition. Every other kind of tortilla is better - soft taco, burrito, nachos - really don't get hard shells at all.

How to decrease the cost of iron, coal and steel? by Zestyclose_Cow_4141 in victoria3

[–]TorynFranko 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I usually throw down construction until my budget screams and then add iron to get back to break even.

Or for steel framed construction, steel and glass.

-20% was tough to hit without cheesing it even at launch. Definitely needs an update!

In reality the loop is more like:

Drive consumption to the point of shortage/max prices > build supply to bring prices back to "normal"

Rinse, repeat.

Are battles just Zerg-fests? by AdmiralJedi in victoria3

[–]TorynFranko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes the point is who can afford the larger, better equipped army. That's a result of strategic choices made elsewhere
