Opinions needed! Been thinking of relocating to Sydney or Vancouver for a change of environment but may be up for promotion at the end of this FY. Wait or stay? currently based in Singapore.

The promotion will help you get something better when you move. I’d wait if you think you have a good shot at it and your job isn’t so excruciating it will affect your mental health.

Not Sydney!! It’s trashhh. Brisbane is better

OP- there’s plenty of opportunities in Brisbane! It’s actually heaps better than syd because Sydney has a larger population competition. More likely to get a position in Brisbane compared to Syd :)

Vancouver is also one of the priciest cities in the world. Although if you’re coming from Singapore you might be alright. It’s very outdoors oriented, so if that’s not your bag, you might not enjoy it. Weather is great, sort of like Seattle but less rain.

Vancouver is very laid back and chill, and good if you enjoy the outdoors. Wouldn’t choose Vancouver if you want a city that’s happening and busy.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. A city with some sorta life but also with a lot of nature to offer :)

1) best situation is to move with a job at your new location. Might even get a stipend to help moving costs
2) if #1 is possible, would be great to try to get the promotion to next level of position in your new location

Working at small firm for 7 years. They created a new Staff Manager position to supervise and train the support staff in 1 office and other internal operation tasks. They promoted a paralegal into the position. They just asked me to take on the training across all offices because the Staff Manager is doing 50% paralegal work due to turnover. I told them if I were to take on a task of a manager, I should get a promotion and raise to do the task. They did not agree. What do you think?

Hi, is it normal to ask for a raise after a year and a half as an Associate consultant in Paris? Currently I make 43,000

I was given a promotion 6mos ago & told that the position was a lateral move & a raise would be given at my 6 month mark. Throughout my time at time at this company I’ve realized that they call people in to give their raise on the exact date of milestones (i.e: 6 mos, 1yr, & so on). It’s now been one week since my 6 months in this new position. I’d like to reach out to my boss and set up a meeting to review my work & discuss a raise. Should I wait a bit longer or should I set this up now?
