And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming

There are few things less uncomfortable than going home for the holidays and discovering the weird habits your parents developed since you left the nest.

For instance — and we’re just spitballing here — perhaps in your absence, your dad has taken to wearing tiny fur-trimmed boxer shorts around the house. And perhaps that fur is itchy and he reacts accordingly and you see things — terrible things — that haunt you when you go to sleep.

Again, just spitballing. We’re fine. We’ll probably be fine. Time will tell.

So now that we’re all safely back home in the swing of things, it’s time to get that job hunt up and running. Check out what careers we’ve got for you this week.

The News

Also, take a look inside the life of Pragyan Sahoo, a global architect at Macquarie, whose 12-year career at the global infrastructure asset management firm has taken her all over the world. Read on to see where working at Macquarie can take you.
