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. 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

well make it this way
if you are looking for career advancement; it is better you decide properly
in australia; it is a booming economy
very hot cake now ..but 5 to 10 yrs down the track; i`m sure it is alright unless kevin rudd do smth else bad.

to work in supermarket; medium scale job is not smth to ashame off
a proper financial planning and whr you want to advance ur career is 2 different thing
besides; since we are globalise now; jumping boat is more frequent and not many employer manage to keeping the good one
well; since you are in finance industry; you should come here and look for some contacts and try to see wat is your chance here for 5 years smile.gif

tats all i can say; as long aussie stilll need demand for the heating economy; there is still the need for migration smile.gif
it is part of supply=demand
why stay in malaysia when the grass is so much greener and you are well paid

add on :
getting PR and becoming not citizen is another thing
PR is just to give you more position in australia and helping australia
you still can be malaysia citizen if you wish; it is not tat you have to give up malaysian citizenship

give u example
our PM badawi has a property in perth and he is PR in aussie if not mistaken
but yet he is the one messing our country
so ...u know ~

not sure about your case whether what finance qualifications you have but I migrated to australia in a sudden without planning and I never regret migrating. higher pay more time to relax better earning power. and I got an offer not even 1 week after I touch down australia. I'm not sure which field are you looking for a job however the pay in finance is a lot in australia especially investment banking and the like. bonus easily 6 months above and salary is easily aud70k for fresh grad. well if you have experience you might fetch above 100k per annum easily or I should say even much more depends.

yea; wow..
u r super rich or aka millionaire in 10 yrs time

add to the list; aussie is a exprience based eonomy; so you want to get to top; experience count; salary is secondary smile.gif
im sure finance industry is well need of ppl now smile.gif

Dear Folks,

Thanks a lot for feedback, anway how is the job prospects in Australia for banking/finance and telecommunication industry ?

We both lived and studied in Aust for couple of years. Part of the PR process, we have to live there for 3-4 years for next PR renewal or citizenship.

There are certain items which we are sure unable to obtain in Australia such as

1) Free flow or cheap mamak food at night/supper
2) Housekeeping Maids with affordable pay
3) Family closeness
4) Close friends hanging out
5) Variety of Massage, Facial parlour
6) Malaysia is heaven for food

Can't think of anything so far ! Do list if possible.

Regards

if you have studied in aus for 2 years min, you can easily qualify, as long as u pass the 120 point mark.
since sept 1 2007, they just made it a wee bit hard, most of the changes are to the IELTS score, in which you have to score at least 7.0 on each component (not 7.0 avg)

not sure about other visa though.
as many would have know, check www.immi.gov.au

yea; true true..

Really, very good website. we just realise eveything is expensive in Aust and everything we earn is just nice for paying with high tax and labour charges. No savings.

actuallly yea in term of general..
but if yu know whr and whr to find cheap goods and do need to pay general price...u willl survive well.
provide u work hard a few years after u come in; im sure you can save..

i got a friend; whose about 30s below ...
he work hard and he can survive with his wife together..
of course u dont come and buy property straight away..
come and adapt and keep learning as wat u did when u just come out from unis ..
