MM 314 - I Got Access To Thousands Of People’s Wages!

About this episode

The episode discusses the host's experience as an auditor and the insights gained about wages and financial literacy.

That subject line sounds so sexy. But one of my first jobs out of uni was not so sexy. Being an auditor. Don’t you dare judge me. This meant that in my early 20s, I worked inside councils, universities, government organisations, and powerline companies reviewing payroll systems and employee records. I think this experience mattered more than I realised at the time. Because once you’ve seen the data, it becomes harder to believe the story that earning well is impossible. Hey thanks for listening!
