Yeah sorry it was confusing there was an option for me to start in the 2021. It has been a comedy of errors. I think I am not resentful…

It was kind of my managers fault as he forgot to arrange my return with HR then the mistake occurred. He never took an interest in me so I…

I was the only graduate this happened to. Also I'm 35 so I don't have lots of time to waste.

Thanks, 140k package might be generous. 90k base, 27k sign on and 80k stocks vested over 4 years. Think a company like google. I was a…

Should you ever work at a company after they have mistreated you? I have a 40k job at the moment as a graduate engineer, which will go up…

So a manager is not always just promoting the person with the most experience? I thought that was how it usually went.

In the IT/tech industry, which tends to be more highly regarded - years of experience or previous performance? I see some job ads saying…

Deserve is a strong word. No one deserves anything in life (besides there are lot of people in management who do not deserve to be there).…

Thanks, Can I ask at what age you moved into tech? How did you progress your career so quickly? Also I am thinking of rejecting the offer…

So performance is more important than experience? I'm hoping that I can improve my performance to make up for the lack of industry…

doesn't seem to be many females in fintech (at least not where I interned), so I'd rather not risk it.

Thanks I will make sure to do that.

I'm heading towards 40. I'm not giving specific details as I don't want to identify myself, hence very vague descriptions of what I do and…

Actually a massive fintech company, don't understand why it was such a mess. Hoping their name on my cv will help if I leave.

Thank you, very helpful

The recruitment process has been pretty chaotic. I've been moved in and out of 5 different teams over the last month, haven't met the…

How soon it is ok to leave after you realise that the place is not going to offer you career progression? You obviously have to see the…

After a lot of stress and confusion, I've managed to secure a grad role at a great fintech company starting early next year. It is a big…

Yeah I've tried for a couple, I usually fail at the coding interview stage. The bar is very high if it is a prestigious company. Will keep…

Thanks, I will check that out.

I would continue to work fulltime whilst studying my masters in the evening. That is how I did my bachelors. Does a masters help much in…

I am a workaholic, and I say yes to everything which is why I end up working crazy hours. Last two years I have been working full time and…

No I can't, as entry is through the graduate program. Would you recommend masters to stand out because of how competitive grad roles are?…

No family, am single. But I live in Sydney and it's expensive. I'm in my 30s and am thinking a lot more about my future (buying an…

I also have 10 years of work experience in addition to my degrees (have always worked fulltime and studied on the side). I'm in my 30s.

The opposite actually. I'm not qualified for marketing, finance, accounting etc and as such I wouldn't do well in one of those positions.

They are actually called a 'talent acquisition officer' at this particular company if a title is so important to you.

No they accidently put me in the march 2023 graduate program, over 18 months wait with no job once my current contract ends at the end of…

Still waiting to hear on a couple, but so far no luck

No I'm working a 42k job, 6 days a week. But that ends in december. Also with three degrees, I do think my time is worth a little more than…
