As the first quarter of 2023 passes by (already!), we reflect on whether we’ve reached where we “want” to be in terms of our career and personal achievements. We also think about where we want to head towards in the near future!
*** We have now updated our uploading frequency to fortnightly as we try to navigate travel schedules!***

Keeping up with Angela & Cindy - maybe not as glamorous, and while we might battle through laptop failures, Excel crashes, late buses and lukewarm coffees now and again, we also celebrate together over BBT and fried chicken on our wins - as first home owners, modern investors, corporate go-getters (what glass ceiling?).

Grab your coffee/BBT/G&T as we chat through our stories, experiences and lessons learnt as two 20-somethings in the modern workplace.

It’s become more and more common for people to have some sort of “side hustle” in addition to their “main job” - but this doesn’t mean it’s just for some extra $$$. We discuss what we think a side hustle is, and more importantly how to actually maintain and remain realistic on what you can achieve.
BONUS: Don't forget, we are also looking to host a Q&A episode in a few weeks, where we answer some of the questions sent in by our listeners! Time for you to ask us anything you want! If you have any burning questions (about anything at all), please send them through to us at [email protected]!

As we meet and work with more people, certain traits make us think “wow, this is really a leader to look up to”. In today’s episode, we share some of these qualities, which are things we hope we practice ourselves!

8th March marks international women’s day, which sheds light on gender equality. In this episode, we feel it’s also important to shed light on the difficulties we have experienced as females in the workplace - some of which we didn’t even think would happen… until it did! Hopefully, this helps to raise awareness and make it more “normal” to talk about these challenges. On a brighter note - happy international women’s day to all the amazing women out there, and to everyone who supported us along the way!

It’s already March! Recently, we have seen a lot of economists doing some predictions about the year ahead. January and February were a crazy ride, and we thought now would be the time to make some ~predictions~ around what the rest of the year holds for us. We’ll definitely do an episode towards the end of the year to see how accurate our guesses were!

One thing we have in common is we both started in audit, then moved teams. It’s also very common to have the idea that since the Big 4 have so many different “service lines”, it should be relatively simple and fast to switch. But is this really the case? In today’s episode, we discuss our own experiences with making the change - and the answer might not be what you’d expect!

Once you’re over 18 (here in NZ at least), you’re considered a legal adult. But what does successfully “adulting” actually mean? As we are now both over 25, it appears we should be “adults”, but it sure doesn’t feel that way sometimes! Today we talk about how we've struggled along the "becoming an adult" journey (still not really feeling it!), and what it means to us. Listen in and let us know what you think, what does '"adulting" means to you? Have you also encountered the same struggles?

Some people just seem so confident in front of a crowd, you wonder how they do it! Speeches were something we both dreaded, particularly impromptu - nothing like fronting up to a sea of Q&A without a plan and needing to sound confident on what you say next! As scary as it seems, public speaking and presentations are indeed crucial for working with clients and interacting with others. In today’s episode, we talk about what makes a “good” presentation, and how we find opportunities to practise public speaking - and eventually, it won’t seem as scary anymore!

As we celebrated Chinese New Year last week, this led to an idea for today’s episode, which reflects on how being from a different cultural background shapes our identities. It definitely wasn’t easy at times to uphold traditions, especially living in an environment where the Asian population is in the minority. We often hear the words "belonging" and "identity" and sometimes, us "third-culture" kids growing up struggled with that in particular. Today we have a chat about how we define who we are and where we come from, as well as how we keep in touch with our cultural heritage.

As most of us have started to return from our long summer breaks, the thought of another year of work may seem daunting… at least to us! In our first episode back, we discuss what we miss most about our holidays, what we’re looking forward to in the new year, and how we’re eeeeeasing ourselves back into our “normal” routines.

To echo our intro episode - what a year (yet again)! We both feel somewhat tired and excited for the long break - and our conversation today centres around how the end of this year feels different, or similar to the last - including why "feeling tired" seems to be a strong theme in December.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have followed or tuned in to our episodes, sent in words of encouragement, ideas, feedback... we really appreciate it. We look forward to our second season next year (with bubble teas in hand of course 🍵) - see you all back on 18 Jan 2023!

As we look back on the past 330-ish days, we reflect on some of our favourite pieces of advice this year, and why they made it onto the list. Some might sound generic, but we discuss why we still thought it was impactful - tune into the conversation 💬 to find out more!

With the recent controversy surrounding Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and subsequent change in management style, it got us thinking… would we want to work in a similar environment? Sure, you’ll probably be working at your maximum utilisation and learn heaps along the way, but would we ever want to be full time at an office that’s more like a pressure cooker? And do we agree with his theory that working in person means higher productivity? Listen in to find out!

As the OCR increases (yet again), we discuss why interest rates continue rising, despite this making mortgage repayments and loans more expensive in an already highly inflationary environment. The stress of evergrowing living costs hasn’t been helped by talks about a recession hitting - but what does this really mean for us, and is it actually as scary as it sounds? Tune in to find out!

Something that most of us will (unfortunately) experience in our lives is a disappointing performance review outcome, especially if it doesn’t match what you’ve been set up to expect (or as one wise person once said, you can’t be prepared, but don’t be surprised). The mismatch can hurt, and whilst anger might take centre stage at first, today we talk about how to process, accept, then eventually move on (which doesn’t always mean changing jobs!).

It seems that in our 20s, we’re expected to achieve such big milestones - family, career, travel, perhaps even getting a house… it seems like a lot to cram into 10 years! In today’s episode, we discuss whether we feel the pressure to “achieve” in all these areas comparing to others around us, and also a concept we found interesting - that everyone is actually living in their own timezone.

We’ve already reached November, and you know what that means - intern season. Whilst we’d love to say to our interns that you’ll feel prepared and know exactly what to expect, the reality can’t be more different! It won’t be as hectic as the internship that Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn went through, but now that it’s been a while since our internships, we reflect on our intern times, and what we actually valued the most, as well as little nuggets of advice!

In an ideal world, we would leave work at work, and also not bring stress from home into the workplace. While we might have the best intentions, at times it could be difficult to “compartmentalise” – and some people may even take out stress on others. In today’s episode, we talk about how we try to not externalise our stress, and also how to deal with situations where you might be on the receiving end of someone else’s bad mood!

During our school days, we were told the importance of having extracurricular activities to become more “well rounded”. Today, we discuss whether we think this also extends to a work context, and whether we feel the “pressure” to conform.
