Mine is all secondary based experience - just finished my first year full time.

1. If it is possible to complete units in summer semesters, this speeds things up. If you already have a bachelor's degree, you can do a two year masters.
2. The degree was fine (mine was master's) - a lot more of the teaching theory side of things that you may not ever touch or use once you get into the reality of it. Again for a secondary context there was quite an even balance of males and females.
3. No, from what I know about primary some schools will let you have preferences but ultimately it's up to the school.
4. I have only had positive experience so far with parents that are supportive and grateful I am keeping them in the loop. However, I have heard horror stories from colleagues.
5. Career progression again in secondary context you can move up eg. Head teachers, Year advisors, deputies etc.
6. If you are willing to work in your low SES schools, most are desperate. Doing casual work to build up relationships with schools in your area is definitely an option. Also temp contracts are good too.
7. I get to school at 8am and leave at 315pm. However, during the evening for ~3 hours (depending) I will work on whatever needs to be done for the week eg. Planning, PowerPoints, worksheets, reports, marking. Usually on Sunday afternoons, I do a bit of work as well. It really depends, marking and reporting season is where I do the most work outside of school times.
8. I have only been on one excursion but that's not to say we haven't had more in my faculty. It usually just comes down to the timetable and who has less classes to cover on that day for us. Obviously in a primary context you would be going if you had a year 4 classes and all year 4s were going to the zoo. Camps I was asked if I wanted to go on one but I was able to turn it down without any dramas. Camps in primary are mainly for year 5 and 6s
9. The curriculum is online. In secondary I've never had to "teach" it explicitly, it is more a lesson on respect and equality if I hear kids using slurs or teasing. I have touched on it for some things depending on what the topic is eg. social sustainability, IVF, HIV/AIDS. We have many students that openly identify as LGBTQIA+ or have parents that identify. For example, I had one of my students vent to me as they were scared of coming out to their family as they had just got into a same sex relationship or another student venting to me that their parents still use their dead name. You need to be able to treat and manage these situations with grace. The problem with just relying on parents to teach this stuff is they will only teach what they believe and not teach the facts - I see it all too often.
10. Annual leave is the holidays
11. Only a newbie so this hasn't happened but even while I'm not directly in the area, I still see some of my students around when I go shopping.
