Because people seem to be asking the same five or so questions about my new job, I thought I’d put up a FAQ.
I’m sure it won’t stop people asking anyway though

Who is the new job with?
It’s a contract position through an agency. Who their client is (where I’ll be working) I’m not saying yet - I’ll wait until I get to know the guys first. They’re located right in the centre of Sydney - 10 minutes from Central Station.

When do you leave / have you left Telstra yet?
My last day at Telstra is Friday the 26th of October (so, this week is my last).

When do you start at the new job?
Monday 5th November.

Are you commuting from Toronto?
Nope - I’m moving down to Sydney. A 3 hour commute *each way* really isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time.

Have you got a place in Sydney yet? / When are you moving?
Not yet. I’m staying with one of my Uncle’s first - he’s got a place about 15 minutes walk from the new job.
I’m looking for my own place at the moment, again somewhere near the centre of Sydney.
