Switched from a logistics admin role into data analytics at 34, so not dreaming, but let me be real about how. First, not too late, but you …
I ran a stall for two years and closed it, so here's the cautionary tale. My food was good, people liked it, but I couldn't make the numbers…

I took the counter-offer in 2022, a jump from 6k to 7.1k plus a 10k retention bonus with a 12-month clawback. On paper it looked great lah, …
