The relevant part above is when stated "I do it". Maybe this was misinterpreted, I could see how this could have easily happened. I'm not going to get dragged into a discussion of the definition of 'commute', to be perfectly blunt I'm finished caring.

This will be my last post to this forum, I'm not interested in hearing opinions of others who think ideas are 'stupid' or in 'cloud cuckoo land' when we simply asked who was doing it and how it goes for them (we did not ask for opinions of the idea). As stated above, people are doing it so your opinion is irrelevant anyway. Fyi Ive just spoken to my management and they've agreed partial payment for the commute. Maybe it's because I'm distinguished in my field and they don't want to lose me, maybe it's because everybody who works for this investment bank lives in cloud cuckoo land, either way it's a possibility for us. Thanks to all those that offered constructive help.

Hello all, First time poster and long term reader here. My wife and I are looking to move from Glasgow to Brisbane next year and I'm hoping to speak to any software developers or development managers currently in Brisbane. I'm currently a dev manager/tech lead in an American investment bank. The company doesn't have offices in Brisbane so it's looking unlikely I'd be able to transfer within the same company. I can't find this out for sure until I ask my manager but it's way to early to talk to him about it just now! I'd really like to speak to anybody working in software in Brisbane - I'm looking to find out who the big employers are, average salary's, bouyancy of the job market etc. Thanks in advance, Colin.
