As a freshie, I am not entirely sure what to consider. What factors should freshie like me to choose a job?
I was offered above 50k-range salary (pre-tax), so I guess I can live comfortably in both cities. I don't really have to support my family.
I live minimally, and I've everything I need. My living expenses for the rest of 2015 will be as follows:
In Melbourne,
Weekly Expenses
Transport - AUD 36.60
Food - AUD 100 (eat-out only once a day)
Telephone Bill - AUD 5
Books - AUD 20 (usually 2nd-hand books)
Entertainment - AUD 20
Medicare - AUD 20
Malaysian Insurance - AUD 10
=====================
about AUD 200 weekly
=====================
I plan to fork out AUD 400 monthly to support my primary and secondary schools in Malaysia since they're only half-funded by Malaysian government.
In Sydney, I believe I have to spend AUD 200+ extra. although I will be paid 10k higher. In term of flexibility and environment, Sydney company is much better though.
I'm still in the midst of applying my visa, waiting Malaysian police clearance. =.= Does the bridging visa A allows us to work full-time? I couldn't find detailed info on the bridging visa A for 485. Immigration website only explains vaguely about BVA.
Should give Sydney a go. with the extra 10k is a good sum... if you have no attachments in Melbourne why not give it a go? You also noted another pro you consider for Sydney. Why'd you think you have to spend AUD200+ extra in Sydney? I was offered above 50k-range salary (pre-tax), so I guess I can live comfortably in both cities. I don't really have to support my family.

Also if you want to reduce costs for accommodation rentals, can consider sharing a room with someone else if you can bare with that and you don't have many personal belongings yourself.... you probably already know this but i like to type some extra words in the post
