700 gets you a hell of a lot there

if you looking to start up and happy to do a little work..sub 400K

500K will get you a off the plan town house:

That newport off the plan place will be like 7-8 squares at best I bet and the altoba north one is ok value but a unit & needs work & is in a dodgy spot

Wife just sold a knock down job In altona north for $701k!

moved here around 2008...most houses 300-400K

that said find cheaper 12 min from city!

as I mentioned however I'm moving country side, so yeah 5-10 acres would be about right

Altona, Brooklyn etc

Take what you can get at grad level, then work your ass off. Pat and others will tell you the same

Life ain't a drag meet, it's a marathon

I skipped grad position and went straight to engineer position. No time for 3 years of low pay & shit work.

That backfired Monica.

22kms isn't much as the crow flies, but it's my understanding that getting there either with traffic / shitty PT options isn't heaps of fun

Feel free to correct me though, I avoid the west at all costs lol

It's alright depends what time your traveling but it's a trade off your getting double the property for your money but spending more time traveling but have better home quality of life & space etc.

Last time I checked the radio the monash, eastern, ring road etc all sounded pretty shite @ peak hour..

How realistic / repeatable is that Pat? Given the swarms of engineering grads in here who are looking for jobs

I'm gonna stand by my promotion of a good work ethic. Don't see how a pissing contest is going to actually help Jonoe

Yeah that's fair. I'm neither a family man nor a weekday driver though so I'll stay in my inner east ivory tower haha

I doubt Jonoe is turning down grad jobs cause it doesn't fit/low pay/hard work.

If he is, then harden the f**k up.

If he having trouble securing any grad job, he needs to make himself stand out amongst all the others.

And I stand by my comment of grad jobs. They are hired by HR under their budget & have no clue what makes a good engineer. All they can go off is uni marks which is only one dimension of a productive employee.

Best to go for full time job if you can talk the talk as you are hired by senior engineer & not some HR muppet.

    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
    • yeah the south island is stunning, the wifes family is from the west coast down there so we were down there for christmas.   a high 10 would be a stretch but hilarious if it happened. fourth gear is its party gear, i don't have traction to throw more at it at lower speeds. I've found passengers don't think its that fast, i think it's because it has a digital dash so they can't see the needle move so they have no sense of speed
    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
