Are you excited about the new Sydney Metro line? I've been seeing all the Tiktoks and it does look so much more modern than the old lines, which will be nice. Although I guess it better after costing 26.1 billion. I haven't been to the new Sydney Central Station yet but they say it's supposed to look as good as Kings Cross now.

I haven't been either, but it's supposed to be gorgeous. I think the new rail system is well overdue. We've been behind on that front for way too long.

I've been using it for my commute since 2020 (regularly since 2022). It's been fantastic.

I've completely stopped looking ahead at train timings since this started. Same principle as the London underground or the NYC subway - you just go to the platform, and it is all stops, and it's every 4 minutes or so, so you're almost never waiting long.

Since the new section opened extending it from chatswood to Sydenham, the parking at stations has been a bit more competitive (understandably). Chatswood to Barangaroo/Martin Place are a bit packed in peak hour, and for now there's still some disruptions on weekend late nights as they get some more calibration improvements done for the new section (understandable given these are fully automomous).

Central Station's new uplift is fantastic too - way more spacious in the terminal. I wish our international airport was that good 😅😂

I started a company just under 1 year ago. We sell a product via ecom channels and have done ~100K in revenue with a 60% gross margin.

Should I take the job?
