Working Class Man

Good to be back in the workforce. In Israel this is always a delicate subject. Coming from the Diaspora, careers aren't always so flexible. First and foremost you have language issues and then you have local standards/practices which may mean having to requalify.

Pay packets also may not be what you were once used or accustomed to. As for workplace culture, that deserves its own post.

Living in Jerusalem doesn't make it easy as most of the jobs seem to be in Tel Aviv. Not to worry, get on the 6.45am bus and get here bright and early by 8. That allows me to leave at 5ish.

With a baby coming, rent to pay, bills to deal with good to have a steady income which can arrest what was the gradual eroding of our bank balance.
