Hi all, I am currently working in Australia in one of the world's largest professional services firm. What I can say is I have enjoyed my life so far working in Australia. Flexible working conditions and high enough disposable income for me to travel. Reasonable working hours and have a bunch of friendly colleagues. I consider myself lucky as I graduated at the right time with the right qualification to stay in Australia. Racism is everywhere but I haven't really felt it yet in my work environment. We have good enough support that nobody 'dares' to show racism even if they wanted to. And I would be shocked to see anything like that happening here. Occasionally, I miss the food, friends and family in Malaysia, but I guess that's about it. As to the application process for PR, I can't comment about it because I applied a few years ago. And as you can see, the policy changes every year. I have a friend who hasn't had any Australian working experience who's gotten PR and currently looking for job here. And I also have a friend who graduated from first class honours in engineering from an Australian university who was jobless for a year before he got accepted into a very good firm.

I'm sure many here have relatives and friends that have migrated here to great land of Boganistan. Question is, does anyone know anyone who migrated back?

I just need to know how hard it is to get back to work in a Malaysian working environment. I've spent my working life here and am somehow apprehensive about going back, but I'm looking at making the move back to KL or to Singapore.

Aside from the hit in income, how different is working culture anyways? I've always heard great news about Singapore, but having done 7am to 6:30pm + Sat and Sun with ungodly call ups when some stupid gas well casing or compressor station kicks the bucket, it is something I rather not do.

Also do people give hiring preference to people with OnG experience? Was thinking of something cruisy for a while just to put food on the table I reckon.

Been to Aus, hit a few animals on the highway, shot a few as well, got my citizenship and now I feel like going home so I can sit my favourite mamak in Ampang Jaya or warong melayu in Dato Keramat just chill my nights away again. Just weighing my options I guess.
