Well, I’ve just spent a week in Melbourne taking over an architect role from someone who’s just left CSC.
It’s only temporary (they say)… the initial suggestion was that it would be for about 6-8 weeks. I think that’s reasonable if they can source a permanent replacement from within CSC, but it’s more likely to be 12-16 weeks if they have to hire.
That said, I’m sure some of it can be done from Perth in the interim – I hope!
For the moment I’ve become a white-collar FIFO between Perth and Melbourne… at least it’ll accumulate points and get me to gold Qantas membership.
