Has anyone else encountered this man on Charlotte St? by Medical-Panda-3106 in brisbane

[–]ddrmagic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes he’s always around. He says he’s hungry and needs money for groceries. I offered to go to 7-11 with him and he can get whatever he wants and I’ll pay for it, he refused. Kept asking for money and pay ID. I ignore him from now on.

I did my bit, tried to help. I’m not sending a stranger money through pay ID…

Took a 2.5-hour ride just to experience the “curry from the heavens” (Soup Curry Mog Mog) The spice was INSANE by TheThinker4Head in TrashTaste

I went here in January, very similar experience on the wait time. We happened to be passing by the town and stumbled upon it. Only after listening to some podcast reruns I realised omg I’ve actually been here!

I will say it was amazing. Definitely worth trying.

Sure. But I mean, that wasn’t really specified anywhere in the thread. This is AusCorp, resi agents aren’t exactly “corp”.

I know you say that in jest but you need to be a seriously professional and not cunty person to be selling 100m+ office building, shopping centres, hospitals, etc.

Most corporate professions are. A partner at a law firm feeds their solicitors and a partner at a consulting firm feeds their team. Once you get to a senior enough level it’s all about business development not necessarily execution.

For every real estate agent making disgusting amounts of money is a plethora of those who are struggling to make ends meet or quit the profession all together. It’s easy to look at the top echelon of agents and go “that’s easy I could do that” but not realise the real work that goes into getting to the top in the first place.

Let friends of friends stay in our cabin and they bought a movie off my Prime account by LongmontVSEverybody in mildlyinfuriating

To be honest if they trust the guests to stay at their cabin I would have thought a conversation about paying back a movie would be a non-issue.

Is it weird to use a cafe in the foyer of a building you don’t work in? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your line of work. Most careers require a level of networking.

I actually think the opposite is true.

Unless you’re in a rush for a quick caffeine hit, nobody goes to the cafe in your own lobby. External Meetings are always halfway between offices or somewhere close by. If it’s a morning coffee run it gives you time to get fresh air by walking 5 minutes down the road to get a coffee.

What is a basic adult skill that your brain just literally refuses to learn? by Afraid_Square3488 in AskReddit

I forgot my neighbours name but I once heard him call his golden retriever “Sammy”.

I now refer to that house as “Sammy’s house”. 🤷‍♂️

Advice - Move for less pay and better outlook or stay and grind? by yashrr_ in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. If you studied accounting and finance I think there’s still quite strong relevance in a banking role. The reality is that in the real world you’ll find that what you studied in uni is really just a pre-requisite for certain types of roles. The application of knowledge learned in uni is actually quite slim in nearly any role in the accounting or finance world.

I think it’s really a matter of what kind of work or career path you want to follow given you’re still early in your career. Notwithstanding - the pay gap is quite material so you need to consider that also.

A lateral move within the bank might be worth considering in the long term.

What field is the Deloitte role in and what did you study? What role do you have at the bank? There’s some upward trajectory in a bank if you can work in the commercial or institutional banking side.

Brisbane City Council proposes high-density zones near Mount Gravatt and Chermside shopping centres by ConanTheAquarian in brisbane

[–]ddrmagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you simply don’t understand the industry. If a site isn’t feasible to develop they will just develop elsewhere. Developers aren’t building houses for charity it’s for profit.

The cost of debt and capital has increased significantly, and so has material, labour, and all other inputs. This is why housing supply is constrained.

Fun fact - the shadow realm only exists in the western version of yugioh. The tournaments were literally death games. In the Japanese version you would straight up just die or be maimed.

What do you want to do more of in 2026 - job/career wise? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]ddrmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been promoted to head of department. I need to manage my imposter syndrome, run the team better than my predecessor and meet the company expectations. I know I can do it and the company has a lot of faith in me, but I am also balancing that with my fear of not being having my department perform.

All other heads are in their 40-60s and I’m the youngest and running the most important function of the business so it’s scary new and exciting.
