Great stuff on earning triple figures! Though you are working overtime, at times like these, we should be grateful that we even have a job. We have been busy with calls with wait times for more than 45mins. Expect these wait times with every call centreQuote:

My tax alone is almost twice the average Australian salary. It's not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. For example, a single income household of 150k pays more tax than a dual income household earning the same amount. The only difference I see between myself and the next person that may earn less is the amount we are individually prepared to sacrifice to achieve those salaries. However, the drive to punt is probably the same ;)Quote:

You could earn between $900 to $1,200 a day + super.
Contracting, Monday to Friday 9 to 5. No politics, no long hours.
Work smarter not harder.

That was crazy, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week of work, plus a ginormous tax bill at the end. BUT, seeing that money coming into my account month after month was an incredible ego boost!Quote:

I also work 10 months a year to reduce tax.

This thread was supposed to be about stories from those that have lost jobs and work. But the only ones posting are those with jobs and letting staff go or others boasting about how much they are making. Human nature at work! :miao:

There's no free certified courses for SAS that I know of, plus companies are starting to phase it out because it's expensive.Quote:

SAS and SQL are both coding languages, 4th generation but still takes awhile to learn, especially without a coding background.
I would start with Tableau and Alteryx.

The whole data infrastructure and utilisation shebang
