Hooray! Australia actively seeking Brits to emigrate
Gotta agree with the hours comment people talk about - normal working day in Sydney in my experience was 9-6, not 9-5 like here. People worked harder and do longer hours. I worked in banking in four countries and Oz was easily the hardest working place (Though US wasn't far off, and I guess it depends slightly on the firm you work for).
Then again they see sickies the way we see holidays - took me ages to get my head round the concept that when you asked how many holidays people had they actually meant it when they said four weeks holiays and two weeks sick.
You are saying you work 9-5 in inv. banking here?
Where exactly?
