AU Migrants: Pls share your weekly/monthly budget...

dorbsdee

@athelene pwede mo estimate expenses mo dito:

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Australia

iniestimate ko rin kung magkano kailan na funds para sa BigMove.

Kailan nga pala BM mo at saan state?

athelene

@dorbsdee thanks for the link. i'm not migrating (yet!), but i'm moving to study in sydney. i just want to know if realistic to live in sydney area with my given budget or if i should consider a different place if given the chance to migrate after studies. hehehe

@athelene In my opinion, you may migrate directly without passing through student visa. It will be much costly when you apply for student visa first then subsequently apply for permanent resident. 😉

athelene

@vincechaos Technically, I can do that but since I have a full scholarship, the cost of studying isn't exactly an issue anymore. I know the student route will take more time, but I'm hoping my program in AU will help improve my chances of getting a positive skills assessment later on. 🙂

@rainybrainy san ka po mismo sa nsw? May careers ba jan for chemical engineer (process engg and EHs field)?

rainybrainy

@milktea13 we are staying at Macquarie Park (Ryde area). Sorry, hindi ko sure if merong opportunities for chem engineers kase iba yung line of work ko. Pero ang napansin ko na ginagamit na job portal karamihan is seek or linkedin.
