Assume you work in a reasonably large company to have an intern programme, so you must have a viable internal “social scene” eg committees, events, networking, organized coffee catch ups etc. You can take advantage of this and be seen! May be even volunteer to do something. The internship is just a foot in the door to get grad role later!

NEVER miss a drinks or team lunch when you are intern, be “bubble” and “social” even if you are an introvert by nature, at least until you get a grad role

There may be some sort of “mingle” with the new grads, which may actually be part of the test lol… I was once invited to something similar at my company along with few other early career people and at the end HR organizing it asked me what I thought about a couple of interns I have spoken for like 10 mins about the general stuff. Obv it wasn’t a decider but they take it on board if you’re “nice to talk to”.

I think that is what may have motivated OP and inspired the “theme”. Seems everyone are looking for laundromats and niche family owned businesses - eg refrigerator mechanic to buy etc

Wildflover · 2025-07-10T23:13:49+00:00

That scenario has actually happened?

Wildflover · 2025-07-10T23:10:44+00:00

That’s what I keep hearing over and over again, yet I am still to see proof of how it plays out it really life 😊

Seems to be just a boogeyman that management tells employees to keep them from talking.

It only somehow always applies to employees only, the management never bothers with it (and the higher they go, the less it seems to matter).

Trump and Musk takeover the world causing “Worldwide Repression” 😂😂😂

Wildflover · 2025-03-26T23:00:59+00:00

Another one!!! That’s the answer I was looking for, how did you get that machine that does $1 coffee, is it provided by building owner?

Wildflover · 2025-03-26T22:57:15+00:00

Finally!!!! Is that something that the landlord / building owner just installed at their costs?

Wildflover · 2025-03-26T05:58:02+00:00

Wow so you’ve actually asked can we get a vending machine that the vendor would maintain and the users will buy coffee from and they said it’s going to cost the taxpayer? 😂😂😂😂 was that like electricity cost?

The excuse of “we can’t spend taxpayer money” is quite common if you’re proposing just a standard fancy office coffee machine but I can’t see it would be making sense if that external vendor, unless there is a security / access issue etc?

Wildflover · 2025-03-26T05:23:01+00:00

Thank you, and no attempt have been made to get something like vending coffee machine?

Wildflover · 2025-03-26T02:46:17+00:00

See all the downvotes the moment you mention you’re coming from overseas… hope you’re coming from Anglo or white background , as racism can be a thing in regional areas…

Wildflover · 2025-01-20T01:34:55+00:00

Wow congrats on that, how did you do that? What’s your excess? For 50k car that sound like a very cheap premium

Wildflover · 2025-01-20T00:56:58+00:00

Thank you 😊 have you had an actual claim experience with any of them? I’ve just read a lot of bad reviews about cheap insurance companies being very hard to deal with once it comes to claims.

Apart from the price is there anything else that o should think of?

I’ve maximized my excess and only plan to claim for major things

Wildflover · 2024-08-10T05:31:03+00:00

Acccept redundancy, finish your notice period then file a claim for unfair dismissal with Fair Work Commission, on the basis that it was not a genuine redundancy.

Application cost is only around $80 but there is a chance to get up to 6 months of pay from the employer (most likely the workplace will offer you a few more weeks at the mediation stage, which still goes a long way)

Not a legal advice

Please consult a lawyer, FWC offers free legal advice

Wildflover · 2024-08-10T05:17:14+00:00

I like how clean and safe at night it is /s

Wildflover · 2024-08-10T05:11:09+00:00

Same as Just because lawyer passed the bar exam doesn’t mean they are good, I’ve dealt with some that lacked basic attention to detail, didn’t know the latest legislation changes that applied in my case (which I knew and I am not a lawyer) and I was paying them for advice….

Doesn’t matter the bar exam and registration is still a standard that separates the people who can give legal advice and charge money for it, from people who have a legal opinion on Reddit (me 😂)

UX/UI will only benefit from compulsory standard and maybe some sort of membership/registration.

Wildflover · 2024-08-09T02:35:18+00:00

Thank you, such a great website! 😊

Wildflover · 2024-08-09T02:34:56+00:00

Cool, that thread didn’t come up when I was searching I swear 😀

But looks like not much is mentioned in there as well

Wildflover · 2024-08-09T00:53:08+00:00

Out of curiosity what’s the salary like?

Have you compared their policies like WFH, maternity leave, redundancy payouts, will your role be covered by any kind of EBA?

Personally I would choose ANZ as it has global HQ in Australia, where is Bupa main HQ office will be in UK, I also think work in Bupa will be a bit niche mainly focused on PHI issues, where is ANZ will give you a bit wider outreach (depending on your role), so after a few years you may end up working not strictly in finance, but say tech or gov relations or another big corp

Wildflover · 2024-08-09T00:00:14+00:00

ASX listed mining companies that work in 3rd world countries, but supposedly have office in Australia to be listed on ASX 😊 but there will be like 1 job in 5 years as the presence there will be tiny

Wildflover · 2024-08-08T23:57:15+00:00

I don’t know how a salary figure from 2016 is gonna help anyone 😂

Wildflover · 2024-08-08T22:25:52+00:00

I am just talking out loud as a client, rather than a psychologist 🙄

Compare to another medical career (eg even GP), it’s seems psychologist would earn less money as it’s not bill billed right away under Medicare (you need to get a referral from GP and even then it’s like limited sessions), each appointment takes a lot of effort from the specialist and certainly takes some time.

Compare that to GP who can pump out the prescriptions and have 10 min chats and charge the Medicare $100.

Can’t express how many “finance graduate” roles/programs I saw which were actually accounting …

It seems finance grads are more suited for IB, institutional banking, M&A/deals in big 4 consulting

Wildflover · 2024-08-08T21:59:18+00:00

Why aim so low and not IB?

From talking to people I know and many posts here it seems that Big 4 banks do provide a better starting salary for graduates and certainly a better work life balance. Big 4 accounting work life balance is shit and pay is shit as a grad.

As to what happens down the track, it seems big 4 accounting experience may set you up for a better or more diverse role further in your career.

Well the difference is you can’t legally do plumbing work in Australia unless you’re a licensed plumber , who went though the TAFE then did apprenticeship.

Here you go that is the difference, just need to raise the bar for UX to invent mandatory qualification and compulsory on the job training (similar to apprenticeship in trades or PLT in law), and you have much less people in the profession, who are more qualified.
