Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    I mean, your job probably will get sledgehammered. Just look for employers that always seem to be hiring.

      Ain’t that the truth. Or the ones that have been advertising for 3 months straight.

      But I’m not sure I’m built for the contractor/project hopping lifestyle. Maybe I need to change my attitude about that stuff. I’m very precious about building good foundations and that sort of thing

        I live in Wellington and jump from project to project. I’ve only been doing it a couple of years, but you regularly end up working with people you know because all the projects are just recycling the same staff. Networking and relationships are surprisingly important. I didn’t start until we were in a place we could live on one income, though (my wife has a permanent job).

          Maybe something to look into when my wifes position stabilises. I’m in Tauranga though so the critical mass here for IT employment may not be sufficient.

            Maybe not. Wellington has an endless supply of government contracts (well, not right now since we are coming up to an election, but normally).
