For most people, getting a salary bump and relocating to Betoota’s bohemian French Quarter would take top spot on their list of new job pros.

However, for one young media exec, those things pale in comparison to the opportunity to convince an entirely new group of people that she's actually pretty cool.

“I’ve basically got a whole new wardrobe,” says Priya Sharma, who recently returned from an internship in Melbourne, the NYC of Australia.

“Everyone will think I am so cool. At least for two weeks. Until they realise I have the same four pairs of pants on rotation.”

According to Sharma, her first two weeks have been carefully planned to establish herself as somewhat of a small-town Miranda Priestly.

“Day one is obviously the most important. I want to make a statement, but not too much of a statement. I don't want to be seen as a threat.”

Sharma says she's keeping the exact outfit under wraps, but hinted at some strong basics with a few “IYKYK” additions to assert her place in the office fashion hierarchy.

More to come.
