Is it true that all the deadliest animals are in Australia? I have a couple of job opportunities lined up for me, and about 4 of them would need me to move to the country. I hate to sound immature, but I'm truly afraid of animals/insects, etc. I'm a city boy and never had to deal with wildlife except for the two or three zoo visits I've had in my life. How bad or not is it?

Australia has a bit of a wild reputation, but honestly, in most cities you’re only likely to see the odd spider or hear stories rather than run into danger. City living is like anywhere else: plenty of people, lots to do, and wildlife mostly keeps to itself. It’s nothing to stress over; you’ll get used to it quickly!

The animals in Australia are safer than North America. We don’t have bears, wolves, coyotes or anything that wants to eat you. I’ve lived in Sydney my whole life and have seen a snake on 5 occasions over 38 years and only outside of the Sydney metro whilst hiking.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
