Have worked in both. here’s my thoughts:
1. Sydney has twice the number of finance HQ – banks, brokers, fund managers, investment banks, listed companies, research houses, etc
2. Sydney geneally pays better – but not a big deal – much more important is what you do and how you do it. A good operator can make money anywhere – but Sydney has more opportunities
3. Everything costs more in Sydney – housing, food, clothes, drinks – but its the same with all financial centres – London, NY, etc. More pay, but everything costs more.
4. Sydney is generally more open to new people and ideas than Melbourne – eg In Melbourne if you wnat to put a deal to a firm (eg an IPO, property, venture capital, private equity deal, etc) you need to know someone first. In Sydney you just ring up the head of the firm and the chances are they will see you.
Personally, I joined Wespac in Sydney as a graduate in 1983 (bad move)
– moved to Melb to join Citi (good move)
– moved to HSBC/Midland – in Melb then back to Syd (good move)
– in the big equities boom in the 86-7 – went out on my own (good move) – put together some IPOs, did some venture capital, had fun
– in the big recession needed regular income (got married !!) so I went back to Melb (good move) with ANZ, ran several departments and divisions over the next several years.
– in mid-90s, moved back to Sydney with ANZ – ran more divisions.
– in late 90s markets were booming again – went out on my own again (good move) – floated a dot-com, did some more private equity/venture capital, properties, had fun
The lesson is – doesn’t really matter where you are, but it’s better if you are surrounded by more opportunities & players. The goal is to do your own thing. You only need to work for a firm if you really need regular income. Otherwise in most markets you’re better off out doing your own deals. If you’re young and smart – then Dubai, Honkong, Shenzen are probably the place to aim for. If you want to stay in Aust for the time being then head for Sydney. But if a good job comes up in Melb (or Perth or Bris), then go for it.
Keep learning, keep moving, change with the times, never get stuck in a rut, don’t be affraid to try new things – have fun…if it doesn’t work out, get up and start again…
(you can tell I’m killin’ time waiting for Jan 23!!)
cheers…

陪着我等于死去了无情趣
从前或现在当我是谁
你这一种伴侣
连夜一起睡
你却没廉耻竟讲出口你怕受罪
完全忘记往日爲何
凌晨仍嘲弄戏水
*(忘掉爱爱爱爱爱 我对爱情已死心
贪高兴恨心敷衍 一下却逼真的亲吻)
我们这结局太不堪
分不出真假的爱恨
(无谓爱爱爱爱爱 太过动魄惊心)
我估错这个世界得到教训
怎相信人 命中怎么爱着你为人(罪行)
立什么心肠 我对你极善良
如若你肯想想我这样受伤
你会知爱情毒于砒霜
你怎安心可不改漂亮
怎想象
共你已同享多少很真确晚上
一转头 缠绵后要罚离场
彷似幻像 你给我的爱是玩具磨烂后变绝情
难爲这洗劫永没罪证
道别并无罪也没权问你内情话
REPEAT*
(把失败换教训 不死又算幸运
我全没罪案发生 为着处心不需责任
一起若像软禁 无疑离开千金 合衬)

A论坛上有人在说等结果度日如年,44多天太漫长,又有人说那才是0.12年,嗯,年,随着年岁的增长,年这个单位也变得月来越小了。日月如梭的感觉更让我们感到无奈。。。
007只剩下20天了,08怎么度过,有很多构想,I want to make it a big year!
希望我不要爽自己的约。
其实06,07都够辉煌了,08我给自己画了几个小小的蓝图。
1, look,(好俗?恩)
1。1把头发留得更长,一边自己也尝试些卷卷
1。2改穿中性衬衫,尝试裤装
2。把旅游缩减到最小,除了出差,和欧洲或马尔代夫或九寨沟,那里也不去
3。好好学习,闭门修炼。
暂时就这么多。

刘总说她梦见我了,说我要去米国读书,他给俺买了大棉袄,然后我又说不去了,这和现实生活中发生的事情简直一抹一样,刘总对不起,我对不起你!!
林总也说,他常常梦见我。
我最近也常常梦见现实生活中的人,而且,梦过以后,感觉很奇妙。比如一个新同时,梦过以后,我就觉得他象老朋友一般。 我常常梦到tt,上次梦到他偷偷离开我,还得我一天都很blue
后来就换人梦了。似乎,年纪越大,做的梦也越来越现实。
