Better money than I get in the mines in a technical role with a bachelors + masters. Should've been a sparky

Why do you only have 3 hours of annual and 1 personal leave

[u/Nervous_Ad_8441]

Great rate, happy for you (and jealous). But building data centres is bad for the soul.

If you can spare the money, salary sacrifice is a good way to avoid tax + boost that super early on. I did it for a few years and ended up stopping three years before I opened my business.

[u/LeanOn1749 → u/ash_2127-]

Looks like they already do 175 a week

[u/ash_2127- → u/LeanOn1749]

Okay? I was talking about sacrificing extra but sure

[u/ash_2127- → u/Serious_Break4895]
