Hey that sounds like an awesome job. Any spots for someone more junior? I love wining and dining too!!

I'm surprised you'd want to travel more after so much travelling already... travelling for work is one of the most tiring things I can imagine and makes me quite grumpy. That said working til 3am makes me grumpier.

Can't agree more. The service, not just in Japan, but in developed Asian cities (eg Seoul, HK, Singapore) is wonderful. When combined with the asthetics of their malls etc, they're a few leagues ahead (ie 3-4 decades). My biggest culture shock though is definitely as Y-Man said, coming back...

recruit2 - I agree. Tokyo is a truly amazing place. I'm not sure if I can go there to work that easily though, due to language barriers. If I was Japanese, I'd actually love to live and play in Tokyo. How exactly did you find a job there? Anyway I think Tokyo has got the perfect balance of...

Bah, earn an extra dollar, half goes to bludgers. No incentive. Can't wait to leave ****hole

Flipside is a financially unrewarding job is just that much harder to be motivating.

Haha the motivation lasts for around one week. Then it's the same.

Well you get a bit more motivation when you get a good bonus and pay rise.

Well done Blacky.

Have friends who travel probably 75% of their time (ie management consultants) and are often interstate or overseas. From the sounds of it they all hate their life and want to quit... obviously the low pay is an issue too for the amount of commitment. Most of them get paid sub $100k and...
