Hi Folks,

Just to share my current situation and also require your expertise advice here. Here is my problem.

I am doing well in my finance job and so as my partner in software engineering in telecommucation industry. We are both late twenties, good earnings, committed in high end properties. As I studies in Australia, I also got know a migration lawyer residing there.

I just got in touch with him and he was assessing my skills and my partner and both my partner stand a change to obtain the Australian PR. It also cost RM 15k. (lawyers and PR visa fees). Not including other charges, medical, police clearance and etc which cost extra 5k. Total investment is rm 20k.

Question, Is migrating to overseas a good choice leaving all your high paid jobs and start fresh new ? Anyone here to share their experience which is similar and any advice which ease my thinking cap. We don't want to end up working supermarket for few years and than getting into medium scale jobs.

Regards

I ask you, what is purpose you want to migrate?

For career or for better quality of life?

If it is the former, then you can forget it. By the time you and your partner get married, get the PR and decide to migrate you be 31. Then when you go over there to work, your msian experience will be nullified and you have to compete against the fresh grads, 21 years old people there. Australia is not like Hong Kong or UK, where they got diversified industries and high roller job vacancies. But there is a lot of demand for simple jobs, yeah like you say, supermarket jobs, low level mid size firms, SMCs.

Reason why people migrate there is to enjoy the quality of life. Over there, you need not worry about whether you earning enough cause the govt will take care of you. Work from 9 to 5, go back home, take up cycling, jogging, contribute to community, enjoy walking by the park, get a dog, good schools for your kids, state of the art amenities like trains and trams, fast internet connectivity. If I not mistaken, doctors over there don't earn more than other professionals.

If you are career here is a high paying job, my advice to you is, not to migrate. But if you feel that you want to migrate because you want to enjoy the western quality of life and you're sick of the asian mentality of making money and stressful job environment, then Australia is the place for you.

Haha definitely overseas is always better.

One thing is we are lacking of identity. In bolehland, cainis are treated as second class, and the whole population cannot be labelled as 'malaysians'. and even if you obtain PR at aus, sg or whereever, the perception status aint gonna change any better. Institutionalized racism is intrinsic. Reminds me of chinese in certain part of indonesia; grew up in government schools, learn their culture etc etc. When adult, cant speak chinese at all, lack of own race culture that defines himself, and sidelined 9 9..
