How have you found Deloitte Australia? Are you at Monitor? Thinking of trying to come over from Canada towards the end of 2023/2024, preferably in the energy team (OWs is non-existent at the moment).

Second Deloitte 1. Adelaide is a great place for a lifestyle pick.

Depends on how you define commuting distance & doable. I’m ~40 minutes from work with public transport, and we’ll have to spend 6x our joint income (which is 2 relatively well-earning jobs) to get a family size home in Melbourne.

It would be a much more comfortable equation in my LCOL US hometown.

Thanks for the response :)

Yes but keep in mind of catchment areas if you already have or are planning to have kids. There are also restrictions on the type of properties foreign residences can purchase which sounds like may apply to your case.

Do you see any risk of offer cancellation/revocation here?

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site.

I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?
