Having international experience is surprisingly under appreciated in Australia. Much of the work they do down there is localisation of global campaigns, or small locally nuanced work to make Australians feel seen. All of that puts having local cultural knowledge at a premium. I am Australian, but I've watched awarded international creatives be humbled by the lack of appreciation for their experience.

I’d agree with CD1. I just relocated from Canada to Australia, heaps of experience producing for global brands (both highly awarded indie and network agencies) and it means nothing. Local experience seems to be the only relevant experience desired.

If you had 2 mortgages at the exact same interest rate (1 is a 15 year and the other is a 30 year), does it make sense to put extra payments (say 400 per month) towards one or the other? Looking at it purely from a $ perspective in the long term (not psychological where You prepay the lower balance quicker to ultimately have only one loan).

15 year loan - 125k balance (renting this property out)
30 year loan - 400k balance (looking to buy this property soon)

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

I’m curious what non sales positions people from sales transfer into. Currently a sales rep at a cybersecurity firm but am interested in exploring industries that have a bit less stress involved.
