@bait0211 , ah ganun ba.. big move din ako sa June or July baka maextent hnggng August. dpende kung may marami ng baon. Accommodation din ang 1st priority ko. Melby rin destination ko. Hoping to find a place na near sa CBD. Ung mga alerts ko mostly sa CBD area. Usually when ba hiring season sa Melby. Advisable b sa oct/nov pumunta, kc inofferan ako ng boss ko kng pede p ako mkpgstay ng longer. He's willing to give a departamental bonus sa akin.. worried ko lng bka wala me mahanap n work.

If I were you, I'd take your boss offer. Sayang din yung bonus na yun, kung magkano man. Dagdag pambaon din. And Oct/Nov is Spring so you it will be easier for you to move around (commute etc), and hindi rin kasing gastos (winter wear etc).

mas maganda ba talaga melbourne kesa sa sydney? i know medyo generic ang tanong na to, pero in terms of sweldo and "mapaglilibangan", takot ko kasi baka boring.

sana my mka sagot nito.Kasi tinatanong din eto ng kaisipan ko. heheheh

@chu_se diba? 🙂 or isa pang tanong ay para sa mga nag initial entry lang (not sure if off-topic), pero may link ba kung ano dapat (must) i-apply like medicare, tax, bank, phone number. and kaya ba to within half or one day? 🙂

@prcand pare ang alam ko medicare ay saglit lang, tax file number ay online application, bank account naman ay pwede magopen prior to arrival at personal apperance na lang sa branch for verification at claiming ng atm card, phone number na prepaid may nabibili kahit sa airport.

NSW tuloy namin eh kaso visa 190. sabi nila sydney ay mas livelier city than melbourne. parang ok sa sydney kung single at nagsisimula pa lang sa Au kasi pag may family na mas gusto mo na ng tahimik na paligid, hehe. initial entry namin sa May pa.

<blockquote rel="prcand">mas maganda ba talaga melbourne kesa sa sydney? i know medyo generic ang tanong na to, pero in terms of sweldo and "mapaglilibangan", takot ko kasi baka boring.</blockquote>Highly subjective to 🙂) but let me share my thoughts.

I chose Melb over Syd because:

Mas laid back ang buhay sa Melb (I think)
Mas lower ang cost ng property sa Melb (just in case mag-settle down for good sa state na ito)
Mas lower ang cost of living sa Melb
Most of my friends are in Melb

Having said the above, Sydney:

Being a much bigger state, means you have lots of places to go to.
The Sunshine State of Queensland is closer (as compared to Melb -> QLD)
Has a lot of nice and popular beaches
Is probably more vibrant than Melb
Has higher cost of living, and thus, higher salary (to compensate for that)
Mas mahal ang property sa Syd

I probably missed a few salient points but yan lang pumapasok sa isip ko ngayon. :-??

@jkk32w , thanks sa info.

@Miyawski , thanks sa reply. Konti pa baon ko and ayaw sabihin ni Boss kung magkano ung departamental bonus. I'm worried ko kc if ever ako umalis ng Aug or Oct baka wala na me mahanap na work. IT Infrastructure with expertise in VoIP.

Also, I'm doing research kung saang save na suburb magstay. I've been reading articles na medyo magulo sa west sub. Melby rin target ko.

Based on what I've seen for the past few months, marami-rami ding IT Infra roles dito sa Melb. I know of some friends na nakakuha ng IT Infra related jobs dito sa Melb nitong past few months - hindi exactly same as their role or specialty nung nasa Singapore sila, but as long as you're flexible enough then you should be fine, I think.

<blockquote>Also, I'm doing research kung saang save na suburb magstay. I've been reading articles na medyo magulo sa west sub. Melby rin target ko.</blockquote>That's what I was told by a friend din when I moved here. Been here for almost a year na and I can tell you that that is quite a misconception. Can't generalize Western Suburbs as "medyo magulo". Sure, some Western suburbs have made a (negative) mark like Sunshine West but the same can be said din naman sa East. Take Dandenong for example. :-?

oh.. nag-level up na pala sila, citizen narin kelangan? kala ko pag PR, dami pwede pag-applyan. sana ung company na yun ay working on government projects (para may sense na citizen hinahanap).

kahit subjective, maraming salamat @Miyawski ! wala naman talaga kasing objective na sagot, kasi ung tanong itself is subjective din. personal preference talaga at the end of the day. and ung mga nasulat mo, really helped 🙂

galing, @jkk32w ! at least pwede pala matapos lahat within one day. kasi sayang pag initial entry pag hindi inayos mga to. salamat!
