I'm a hawker, let me explain from the cost side. Everything I buy has gone up, chicken, rice, oil, vegetables, gas, packaging. When my ingre…
Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…
I took a counter-offer in 2022 and regretted it within 8 months. The extra 1.4k felt good on payday, but the trust was gone on both sides. M…
Cleared RT twice, no drama, here's the deal. Failing IPPT means you're placed on the Remedial Training programme, you complete a set number …
I was in your exact spot, capped because the role above me wasn't going anywhere. I jumped after seven years and honestly it was the best ca…
I actually tracked this for a year after selling our car. Owning realistically costs a lot monthly once you total COE amortised over 10 year…
