"Ryan Myo recently left his flexible engineering job in Port Macquarie for a Sydney-based role with a 30 per cent higher pay packet. The 27-year-old told Yahoo Finance his previous job offered flexible start times and nine-day fortnights, while his new gig is more rigid but gives him the opportunity to work on bigger long-term projects and be involved in more analysis and planning."
""Money is part of it as well. Everyone's trying to get a house and that's my ultimate goal I want to achieve, so in terms of that, getting the pay rise definitely helps. "Just to get that faster, as fast as I can, I think this is the right step for me. Although I do miss the quieter and laid-back lifestyle and more flexibility.""
Ryan Myo left a flexible engineering role in Port Macquarie for a Sydney position paying 30% more. The previous job included flexible start times and nine-day fortnights; the new role is more rigid but involves larger long-term projects and additional analysis and planning. He retains two days of work-from-home with set days. Rent and general cost of living in Parramatta are substantially higher than in Port Macquarie. Many Australian workers face tensions between maintaining work-life balance and meeting financial pressures, and some accept reduced flexibility to accelerate financial goals like home ownership.
