Corporate Pride

Why don't we start with the more maybe definitive job? So Alex, I think you have the easiest job to explain.

Yeah, I'll go ahead.

I'm just trying to, my ass keeps splitting here.

Sorry, I'm sitting on a chair for the viewers.

That keeps opening smack bang on my crack.

We'll have to figure that out.

Me.

So yeah, I am a forensic accountant.

So I guess on a nutshell, it's like an accounting job, but I'm more specialized in financial crime, anti-money laundering, bribery, corruption.

So kind of helping businesses once they've identified fraud or anything, we come in and kind of look through their work.

But that is what I do, but I'm actually, I more do the analytic side of it.

So I've got a degree in computer science, and so I mostly do, like, I get the data, gather the data, prep the data for our clients.

Wow.

And a very non-gay job.

well i don't think

any of us have a conventionally gay job in many ways i mean okay so i work in the construction industry which is probably okay famously um uh yeah i have an engineering background mechanical engineering and yeah historically i was like engineer project manager for construction services i left that for quite a few years and i kind of didn't think i'd ever find my way back there but then i moved to london and i had a little bit of a existential financial crisis it was like hey I need money now, please.

So I dropped my, not my morals.

I dropped my, well, yeah, no, I dropped what I said I wouldn't be doing again.

And I took the job, which look, to be fair, I am good at what I do.

I just am not overly passionate about working in the construction industry, which I think we'll get onto some of that a bit later in the episode.

Sure.

Yeah, previously I had worked for a disability services company in

Australia.

which I have a strong personal connection with.

So that was where my career was going.
