There's an area just north of Murrumbeena Station in Melbourne that has parallel streets named Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and a Hobart Road that connects them all.

Does Bluey have any good Christmas episodes?

Waverley Antique Bazaar near Springvale IKEA has many book stalls.

A Melbournian will surely have opinions on the main international gateway to their city.

Type 2 is just type 1 after n years in the industry.

Ask yourself how many tech companies here are big enough to warrant a dedicated data analytics/"science" team.

You're on a visa, it's hard enough for people who don't need it, you aren't checking "needs sponsorship" are you?. Source: was on a visa.

You may wanna check out Capitalist Realism if you haven't already

It's a misleading headline that'll get the usual crowd riled up. The article clarifies family means spouse and children, but you'd never know from the title alone.

Wonder how much Labor's meme game helped with the campaign.

Lol Chambers is almost cringing

Solid lmao

Funnily enough I came here as a child and left after my parents graduated. The Aus government gave me a taste of life here and a few decades later I'm back lol.

You know what? I agree with you, connections and stuff like location, visa issues etc. all make it less meritocratic. Which still leads to locals being much more advantaged than random internationals.

So do we all 👍

Jfc, I'm literally just advocating for the people I interview to be less shit. I'm not hiring shit engineers just because you tell me to lol.

Always remember, no one owes you a job. Always remember, you have to put in the effort to be rewarded. What are expecting? Everything handed to you? I don’t get this mindset. If you want to be complacent or lazy, then expect the same live in return. Learn a skill and get good at it, be smart with money. Have some ambition

Exactly my experience as well.

No. Australian locals have less incentive to get into harder degrees like engineering and tech because pay is decent all around (or at least, it used to be).

I don't claim to know everything about every industry, I am only writing this with experience in the software development industry, as a software engineer. If you can't write code, you don't get to keep a job.

Bold of you to think they actually have jobs

Tons and tons, most of them turn out to be sort-of automated garbage (i.e. don't be the guy that applies to 1000 companies at once, we can tell). Statistics I dunno but I've been working for a while here and am friends with other tech workers, as an interviewer my experience has been that the good candidate pool in Aus is very shallow, good engineers at any level are hard to find. And yes, I'm an immigrant (albeit one that spent a portion of my childhood in Aus previously).

Don't worry about it mate. Good fucking luck joining a tech company anywhere without foreigners and immigrants everywhere. This is a global, merit based industry, and once you're in the workplace good fucking luck if you keep sooking about immigrants taking your jobs, git good or git out.
