After 12 years in the US, I feel tired of the political and grinding work culture here. Will Australia (Sydney/Melbourne) be a better place to enjoy life?

UK, Australia are the next best options for Indians. As long as you can get a visa and a job. Which won’t be easy in Australia either. You will have better social benefits umbrella

Just like peoples fantasy with NZ which is primarily driven by LOTR, you are not getting rid of the grind or politics if you are going to be in consulting in Australia.

By “political” I mean the social & gov politics :/

Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
