It is unbelievable but after 18 months of travel and exploring I am finally back in the real life with a proper job and having to get ready in the morning, suited and flipflopped to commute into the city center to go to an airconditinoned office until it is dark. BIG SIGH!!!
I had almost a dozen interviews with 6 different firms, some of them with 5 people questioning me at once and usually with some more on Video Conference, very daunting! But I finally got an offer I could not resist from DLA Phillips Fox, the Australian arm of DLA Piper. The BD team in Brisbane is tiny, only 3 people with one events person, one Manager and little me! I am so excited! Especially because of my gorgeous office with postcard view of Brisbane's story bridge and miles and miles beyond that as we are on the 30th floor. On a clear day I can see the ocean and the white beaches... if that does not get you daydreaming then I don't know what will! These pictures are taken with my phone and do not really do the view justice but you get the idea. It is brilliant!
I had my third interview with DLA on Friday and got a job offer after half an hour, then went into the offices Monday to Wed for handover as the girl in the job is leaving this week and my induction starts on Monday! AMAZING!
I will report back on how it feels to be back in the hamsterwheel.
Lots of love,
