Salary Expectations in AU?

TasBurrfoot

@LokiJr & @stolich18 - per month ito mga boss; we will be sharing an apartment muna with another couple eh. eventually this will balloon and probably double but for now I am very happy with this expense. 🙂

LokiJr

Ahh I see...cool, very practical hehe. To think ₂₄,000 lang magiging annual expenses mo...In no time, makaipon na kayo kaagad ng pang-kotse or sariling unit niyan hehe

Deyns pafs!! First few months lang yan and as per experience, lalaki talaga expense eventually...

For one, ang accommodation, it will easily double when we decide to move on our own flat. But yes, as much as possible, ipon lang ng ipon para hopefully makabili ng sarili some years down the road...

@psychoboy onga hehe expected na tataas expenses, but you can be creative with your 'revenue' side as well by taking part time jobs or making your money work by investing it in high yielding instruments hehe 😃

Yun transpo naman medyo mahal, ako 4 na sakay papunta work, pabalik ganun din. Combination ng bus and trains.. A$52 / week so around A$208 / month. Electricity naman, pwede na if matipid and hindi masyado nag h-heater and aircon. Kami kasi around A$400 / quarter. Anu sa tingin nyo boss?

@Bryann - this is budget for and my wife... 🙂 Rent is actual, we have already secured the room for at least the 1st month. Eventually this will easily double.

Yung grocery ninyo, I am curius ano yung mga binibili for around A$150/wk? 🙂

Bryann

@psychoboy

Wow mura yun if ganun, dito kasi yun mga nakikita namin na for rents, pinakamura na siguro A$290-300/week. Yun grocery, meat, veggies, nappies, formula milk, juice, milk, bread, (the usual). Yun mga binibili namin normally mga naka-specials sa Woolies/Coles. Then ako naman lunch ko sa office normally canned Tuna, which on special is just $1. Minsan naman nagbabaon if madami naluto for dinner. Although lately meat na lang binibili namin and canned goods from groceries. Seafood and veggies sa mga fruit stand na lang and asian na seafood vendors. Magkaiba siguro talaga cost of living ng Syd and Melb.

Yun allowance ano po yun? Food sa office, etc? Ang hanga ako yun nakakita kayo ng place to rent na A$575/month saka yun grocery. Medyo hirap din kasi ma-control yun groceries lalo na if kailangan talaga and may bata din. Gusto ko nga din i-try yun suggestion ng iba na sa Aldi mag-grocery.

Yun allowance @Bryann - misc expenses na iyon for everything; kasama na yung konting pasyal during weekend.

Please take note that this is just a forecast of what I think will be our expense - it may exceed this... 🙂

LokiJr

Update nyo nalang pag mas mataas kesa sa inaasahan. I am also making notes on this Hehe

icebreaker1928

Bryann

@icebreaker1928

<blockquote rel="mandand">Hi Guys

Me & hubby have recently been approved with AU PR. Right now even in SG, I have started applying for hubby trying to land him a job (just in case). With respect to salary expectation, what's your minimum base salary expectation to live comfortably in AU?

Thanks sa mga magrereply.</blockquote>

Kung nasa comfortably mga AUD80,000 per annum plus dalawa kayo. Pero mahirap makahanap ng magbibigay sa inyo yan lalo wala pa kayung local experience unless kung highly indemand ang skill ninyo at highly qualified kayu baka umabot to AUD90,000 per annum pero minsan tyempuhan lang

Sa una tiis at tyaga lang kahit mababa mga nasa AUD60,000 plus per annum ma ayus ayus na rin yun tipid to the max for entry level pero dalawa na kayu kung ganun sahod nyo maayus na rin. Kung may local experience na kayu staka kayu mag demand o maghanap ng malaking sahod. Kasi sa una nagtatayu pa lang kayu ng pondasyon sa inyong career sunod yan may confidence na kayu na dapat ang sahod nyo ay naayon sa alam ninyo at sa local at overseas work experience nyo.

Sa akin opinion ko lang ito ha. Dipende kasi sa lifestyle ng bawat individual.

Good luck and God bless...

mandand

@TotoyOZresident thanks for your input. to clarify yung figure na sinabi mo, AUD80K total for couple na ito?

For individual. Most naman dito either isa sa magasawa ay part time o casual job at isa nman full time lalo na kapag may mga anak na sila. Yung iba nag cli-cleaner pa or sa groceries nag wo-work part time para pang dag dag income.

chears..
