Australia looks amazing, never been there.😊

[@jeedub6142]

It's funny... I've worked in finance/IT roles for more than ten years in both Sydney and Melbourne.. I now work completely remotely about 20mins from the beach. I watch videos like this one because I kinda miss being able to be surrounded by the city. Also, for dev stuff, I'm a Python guy and build foreign exchange trading bots in my spare time. As for testing frameworks, just test in production ;)

[@kingragnar77]

waiting for more videos ❤❤

[@woodyvsbuzzas]

bro i swear i miss working with u, good ol days

[@scitechplusexplorer2484]

[@KooperBlankenship]

Hey Dan what laptop are you using

[@user-yv1ux2lm7y]

hi, help! which mouse are you using?

[@AdrianDucao]

to add to that @0:58 most interviews and such, idk but they require an overly engineered solutions to their questions, like if you present them with a simple solutions it seemed that they are not that impressed by it, i'm not saying that a person with masters degree can beat other individuals without any CS, CE, or IT degree but from my point of view and own experience there are individuals out there with no degree or perhaps reached an undergrad status and they are way more skilled on hands on development than with such pedigree, just saying been there done that.

[@woodyvsbuzzas]

if you're struggling to find jobs, my advice would be to apply to a startup/smaller companies and work there for 6months-1 year. use this as a stepping stone to familiarise yourself with oz's working culture. (most employers prefer someone with experience working in oz)
