Just had my head hunt interview. It was 2 hours and included doing a cold demo of a product I've never used before.

They gave me a basic business case and access to the software for the first time.

If I succeed they're willing to pay relocation costs to QLD.

Let's see how this plays out.

I've been in Melbourne for 10 years this time around and it's the longest I've stayed anywhere since I was in high school.

Might be time for a change.

I was living alone for all of lock down. Literally broke up with my ex a week beforehand.

At least we didn't have to live together afterwards.

That's a really interesting way to do an interview. Aside from how long it takes it's probably a good way to do things

I've never had to do that before. I had 20 mins to prepare. Access to business case and then the software.

It was kinda fun. I like that kind of pressure. It's SaaS so it's not like it's some vague powershell thing lol
