OT: Where Do You Work???

[NikkiNoo]

TP - that's some fairly high standard of living places you chose to work in Apart from Bonnie Scotland

 

[Crow-mo]

Did you study in Oz or overseas? Because you didn’t get your degree the same place George W Bush got his, the bottom of a cornflakes box.

George W has an MBA from Harvard

an overseas degree from one of the big business schools is much better.

I loved scotland, Edinburgh was my favourite city (just after Prague), but the cost of living is considerably cheaper than the others on your list.

A little hint for those that are heading overseas to work and travel - if you end up in the UK - Don't stay in London or else you will be like those poms that come over to work in Sydney and only fraternise will all the other expats and not actually see the real UK

Are you serious? i never worked as an investment banker in australia..but here in Europe, you get paid a fortune.Try Switzerland, i am on a juicy salary and enjoying my life over here

I ****ing envy you. To live and earn a juicy salary in europe is a dream. I hope that I get to do the same down the track.

I think most people that work in Zurich live outside of it. In the type of job you are probably looking at doing.

I am not a big fan of correspondence.

I did my Year 12 via correspondence.

One 45-minute conference call (with 5-6 other kids/mature age students) per subject, per week, without internet access.

Magic.

Dude,

the Swiss are famous low payers, tending to pay their guys a bit less than they should, which is made up off the back of lower state and canton taxes.

the only way to really get the Swiss to pony up, is to work for a swiss co. outside the country. i.e. UK, Bermuda, or the States.

Spot on

Its the reason yours truly is putting in some ground work into getting a job in the Swiss Software company in Belgrade. Pitty my german has gone down the gurgular since high school. It would come in very handy. Some of the pay packets those people are on are enormous.

I know what you mean, but if the Swiss govt decides that anyone earning less than AUD 34,000 is below poverty line, and switzerland having only 3.5% below poverty line...its not hard to work out the salary level isnt it??? lets say, compared to other developed nations???

Mate Zurich is absolutely brilliant place to be. I was there for a couple of days back in december and absolutely loved it. It wasn't voted as the best city to live in for nothing.

Sensational city!

Look, about that... can I have another couple of weeks? You see, my Aunty Gareth just died and my budgie's been reeeeeally sick...

the education is much the like the job, you need to go overseas to get it.

the AGSM MBA is not a bad program, the melbourne uni master of finance is not bad... but really, you need to take the plunge.

nb. correspondence is just going to make your qualification seem less important. the major programs wouldn't dream of it.

yes, and?

that presumes someone wants to see the "real UK".

Friday mornings at 11am is pure chaos.
