With a chance to rejoin the circus, after a COVID induced absence, I have returned to my previous employer - but am now in a commuting situation (BNE-MEL).
I know many of you have done this for years, so I'd like to ask you what you have learned along the way to smooth the process. Right now I'm kind of wondering if I haven't actually made a big mistake...
A bit of humour is always a good thing, so go for it. But seriously, I'm trying to get my head around how to make this work, how much it will impact my personal life etc. and so would appreciate
actual help too!
I realise its very much a "your mileage may vary" situation - varying wildly with individual circumstance, stage of career, roster, your other options (to name a few things) - but I have to start somewhere.
Are you / were you commuting? What did you find out that you didn't expect? What were the hardest (or easiest) parts of it? What would you do differently if you were doing it over again?
Thank you all.
