I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner? Are there any recruitment firms that specialize in working with expat talent? What was the biggest culture shock moving to Australia?

Those of you who have went from having no car to having a car in the city...do you have any regrets? Even before Covid, I’ve often felt so “stuck” without a car, but I‘ve always been too cheap to seriously consider it.

Super random q - last year just before lockdown I booked a flight for work and got reimbursed through expense report. Flight got canceled and Airline gave me a credit. I just put in my two weeks last Friday and as I’m booking a flight now, I noticed I have this credit from last year. Should I give this “credit/voucher” to my firm?

Looking for some advice on how to handle this situation… My boyfriend of 10+ months is divorced (6 years total) with 3 kids. He has a very amicable relationship with his ex. Two of his 3 kids have birthdays 5 days apart coming up next month. In lieu of a party, they asked for a weekend at a hotel/indoor water park. They have done this in the past. However, he asked how I felt about him sharing a room with his ex and kids, with separate beds. Continued…

My book shows better work and more awards then anyone at my agency. Experience is more varied and diverse than my boss. I am the only woman CD. Was given the least exciting clients. Junior most creative to work on projects. Still managed to make creative work and win some shiny things. Got burnt out after 5 years. Told them so. Got laid off. Have seen this happen to other female CD too in the past. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s them. But seriously reconsidering advertising.

Have practiced about 10 cases with other people (plus many more by myself). I think it's mainly the quant sections I struggle with (even though I used to think I'm pretty good at Maths having studied Maths and Stats in undergrad). Any tips or advice? Thanks!

Told a couple partners that I’m leaving our mid size firm and be joining one of the big four.
