I think cognizant has the worst HRs, like i dropped an email a couple of weeks ago to re-negotiate my offer but they didn't care to respond. I dropped an email saying I am withdrawing my offer and they still didn't care to respond. Why are they hiring if they don't care? Deloitte USI Tata Consultancy Wipro Accenture India Infosys
Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

If it’s only slightly better, what is motivating you to do it? There is a cost involved and leaving everything you know behind has to be worth it. Doesn’t exactly sound like adventure or career growth in a meaningful way. I have moved countries twice and there are things you don’t even consider until you get there!
True. The things that you hardly notice like support as it’s always been there have to be rebuilt. Move if your “ why “ is strong
Sometimes, holding onto what you love is the best move. If you’re not actually dissatisfied, there’s no rush to make a big leap; opportunities will come again. Trust your gut—if it doesn’t feel right just yet, that’s a valid answer.
Yes do it Alan
I grew up in sydney. Moved away a few times (hell, I'm away now) and keep moving back. Don't underestimate the value of community and family that you've built up there.
I'm not saying don't explore - but there's a lot of expense and cost to you to uproot your life.
So a slight salary increase as the ONLY motivating factor? I'd say don't do it.
If you want to explore, then do it because you want to explore - not because of the salary. Not every decision in life has to make sense from a fiscal responsibility standpoint, but you should be open and honest about why you're moving if you want to make the most of it. 😊
I’m not Australian, but I have moved multiple times in my life for my career. I’m also married an Aussie who has always lived in the same 5 km radius, so I understand the inertia to stay in Sydney.
I, personally, would only move if it was the job (or love) of a lifetime. Perth is expensive now, and has very few other opportunities if this one doesn’t last forever. Plus you are fighting the “no new friends” mindset of many Aussies that will likely leave you homesick.
I’d take this as a sign to start applying to advance your career in Sydney. That would be the best of both worlds.
Perth, from a professional standpoint is a a backward step in certain sectors. Check what people think of it and take this into consideration
A friend of mine did this, but we're in Melbourne.
She found WA's social norms and just... culture... really isolating and was lonely. She loved the job she moved for, but came back to Melbourne.
I could probably move interstate to Sydney or Canberra, but wouldn't go anywhere else... just the wrong culture fit for me.
