If you have kids, migrating is the best option in terms of quality of life. Cost of Living vs Quality of Life = Its actually cheaper to migrate Do the math

Set your expectations right, be realistic, drop the ego, be humble things will be much easier when you migrate.

Honest question, what's a realistic expectation? I want to increase my income but maintain or improve my quality of life if I decide to migrate, admittedly both are at comfortable levels now even by aussie standards. However everyone is implying that migrating means I'll have to work odd jobs or entry level jobs which doesn't attract me at all.

Depends what your objectives are.
Work life balance?
Kids future?
Retirement planning?

Those who migrate shld realise that sacrifices need to be made. It is not an entirely win win situation for all.

Understood. For me, my objectives as stated are clear ie. improve my income while maintaining or improving my quality of life. If sacrifices are to either my income or quality of life then I'm not willing to make that trade off.

If by aussie standards you are comfortable, i wouldn't migrate, obviously your pay exceeds whats the norm here and can only get better. Yes most likely migrating,that will happen odd jobs or entry level jobs , until you build a base, its like starting all over, everyone's situation and motivation to do this is different.

Thanks selvenz, that's a fair statement. I still have a few years left on my PR, will see how it goes over time.
