Secondment

The decision to take an international rotation, or as they say in OZ, "secondment", was not an easy one. Noel and I both love our family, our friends, our jobs, and yes, even South Florida. The realization that we’ll be 9,689 miles away from what we know and love is concerning. Still, we recognize that life is short and an opportunity such as this doesn’t come along too often.

We’ve talked with many people who have done similar things and their conscious was unanimous; living abroad was one of the most memorable and rewarding experience for themselves and their family.

We’re fortunate to work for an organization that is actively supporting a secondment for both Noel and myself. Our professional responsibilities will remain largely the same, but at the same time we expect some significant differences in the Australian approach to work and life. We believe there has never been, nor there be, a better time to take this opportunity - both from a professional and personal perspective. We’re not seeking a better life in Australia; we're seeking an experience that we can learn and grow from.

A big thank you is due to everyone who has supported our move: the Svercek Family, the Williams Family, our friends, KPMG management, and many others.

We encourage you to check back here in a few weeks for our first OZ update. Till then,

Cheers!

Noel and Pete Williams
