As the first quarter of 2023 passes by (already!), we reflect on whether we’ve reached where we “want” to be in terms of our career and personal achievements. We also think about where we want to head towards in the near future!

*** We have now updated our uploading frequency to fortnightly as we try to navigate travel schedules!***

Keeping up with Angela & Cindy - maybe not as glamorous, and while we might battle through laptop failures, Excel crashes, late buses and lukewarm coffees now and again, we also celebrate together over BBT and fried chicken on our wins - as first home owners, modern investors, corporate go-getters (what glass ceiling?). Want to know how we manage our money, relationships, and stay on top of our busy careers? Grab your coffee/BBT/G&T as we chat through our stories, experiences and lessons learnt as two 20-somethings in the modern workplace.

It’s become more and more common for people to have some sort of “side hustle” in addition to their “main job” - but this doesn’t mean it’s just for some extra $$$. We discuss what we think a side hustle is, and more importantly how to actually maintain and remain realistic on what you can achieve.

BONUS: Don't forget, we are also looking to host a Q&A episode in a few weeks, where we answer some of the questions sent in by our listeners! Time for you to ask us anything you want! If you have any burning questions (about anything at all), please send them through to us at behindbasicthoughts@gmail.com!

As we meet and work with more people, certain traits make us think “wow, this is really a leader to look up to”.  In today’s episode, we share some of these qualities, which are things we hope we practice ourselves!

8th March marks international women’s day, which sheds light on gender equality. In this episode, we feel it’s also important to shed light on the difficulties we have experienced  as females in the workplace - some of which we didn’t even think would happen… until it did! Hopefully, this helps to raise awareness and make it more “normal” to talk about these challenges. On a brighter note - happy international women’s day to all the amazing women out there, and to everyone who supported us along the way!

It’s already March! Recently, we have seen a lot of economists doing some predictions about the year ahead. January and February were a crazy ride, and we thought now would be the time to make some ~predictions~ around what the rest of the year holds for us. We’ll definitely do an episode towards the end of the year to see how accurate our guesses were!

One thing we have in common is we both started in audit, then moved teams. It’s also very common to have the idea that since the Big 4 have so many different “service lines”, it should be relatively simple and fast to switch. But is this really the case? In today’s episode, we discuss our own experiences with making the change - and the answer might not be what you’d expect!

Once you’re over 18 (here in NZ at least), you’re considered a legal adult. But what does successfully “adulting” actually mean? As we are now both over 25, it appears we should be “adults”, but it sure doesn’t feel that way sometimes! Today we talk about how we've struggled along the "becoming an adult" journey (still not really feeling it!), and what it means to us. Listen in and let us know what you think, what does '"adulting" means to you? Have you also encountered the same struggles?
