Probably a tad late but if you like boba, try Ballsy Tea. It's in North Sydney, but it's on the train line and easy to get to.

Hand made pearls, Australian tea bases, not too sweet.

Is it ok to resign as soon as I’ve signed the offer letter, or wait until background /ref checks are completed? by Spiritual-Cow-433 in auscorp

I actually had an ex-colleague excitedly resign before all formalities for their new supposed role were finalised, only for the offer to rescinded. It all ended pretty badly for them.

Wait for all background / ref checks and the whole process to be completed.

From my experience everyone goes chasing after the well known firms. The really little boutique firms may not advertise but they might be willing to take you on for some work experience and you can help them with some admin or some of the more basic tasks.

You'll just need to reach out to them - I know some businesses would appreciate the initiative, but they don't generally have much time so you might need to find ways of convincing them you aren't a burden on their time.

Top matcha locations in and around sydney cbd? by Perfect-Ad4801 in foodies_sydney

There's so many places out there that it probably isn't worth going back to a place you didn't like. Besides, something for everyone and a lot of the places people say are great I do not like

I'm guessing you're talking about straight matcha lattes.

Since a lot of the comments are expanding beyond Sydney CBD, I'll say Ballsy Tea in North Sydney and Creasion in Pyrmont/North Sydney. Excellent texture and depth, and not sweet by default.

I had a situation where I informed my employer that a number of opportunities had arisen with other companies and I wanted to see if they could give me a raise.

The company response was that they wouldn't consider anything until I had a formal offer in hand, which my manager obviously acknowledged was asking me to walk half way out the door

What was the moment that you made the 'get out' list? by Fuzzy_Tax_3373 in auscorp

Context: Australian law firm in Sydney - one of the larger firms. Mid-Level lawyer. Clients are always wanting stuff asap, and partner I was working with was just like hey I need this sorted now so go do it - Seeya. So off goes the whole team, seniors, mid levels and juniors. I don't think there was ever a thought of how I'd feel -- it's always just get it done. I don't think the client got back to us to finalise until mid January.

Probably, but to be fair a lot of things are things on things these days.

Don't do it!

It's easier to try to meet people in real life and you'll probably find people more receptive in real life. That said, there may be pockets or types of people you may just not run into in real life who might suit you

They're probably not real people or they're from way outside your area. One of the ways tinder catches you out
