I did a working holiday in the Oz to do fiber optic network stuff for the NBN. Applied to Amazon and one or two others (Telstra, et al) in Australia on a lark.

I did a working holiday in the Oz to do fiber optic network stuff for the NBN. Applied to Amazon and one or two others (Telstra, et al) in Australia on a lark. I still get hit up by them occasionally. Eventually I decided to bite, and responded back to a recruiter. "Why are you contacting me, I'm not in the Oz" The answer was along the lines of the parent comment: "good technical hires go to London or San Fran."
