Did 7 interviews in total including an exam in SG. Still didn't make it. Offer is 65k-90k NZD for NZ hires and 60-95k AUD for AU hires. With almost 40%+ deduction (tax/sup), that leaves you with around 57k AUD assuming you'd get the higher end of the deal. That's around 4700 AUD/mo. Minus house rent/health insurance (1500/200) that leaves you with about 3000AUD more or less or about 100kPHP. Babawasan pa ng transpo/food, wala na matitira panghulog ng condo sa pinas at padala kay inay at itay. Tali ka pa for 2 years, saklap. Kaya mag independent visa application na lang kayo if skilled kayo, otherwise grab nyo na lang din to para +points for local experience. Tiis tiis na lang muna kumbaga.
