Is getting SG Salary on the first job in AU possible?

fromSingaporeToAu

@nochipogi yup, Au pa rin naman ako. Still finalizing kung kelan ako move at kung saang state but the priority is to land a job first kahit saang state muna.

And true, I did try to apply for PR here in SG but was rejected.. That's the driving factor din to pursue the Au PR.

fromSingaporeToAu

@fgs yup, lahat to were factored in naman kaya rin kami nagdecide ng kapatid ko to apply for Au PR..

Thanks 🙂

fromSingaporeToAu

@pedrosg yup, totoo naman lahat ng sinabi mo, yan din mga major considerations namin ng kapatid ko when we applied for Au PR...

Thanks for the links that you sent, laking tulong... good luck sa application nyo 🙂

hi,

yes, possible nman na u can land a job na mas malaki ung sweldo as compared sa SG pero cguro depende kung anong klase ng job. I also came from SG. moved here in 2011 and fortunate enough na during that time nakakuha ng work na mas mataas ung salary as compared s ntatanggap ko non SG. Pero since almost 1:1 ang exchange rate ngayon maybe parehas lang if nag stay ako ng SG, nung 2011 kc almos 1:1.5 sa pagktnda ko exchange rate non.

Anyhow, if ur after sa quality of life mas better dto lalo n if u have a family or planning to start 1. Like sa case ko dto ko nangangak, wala kong private insurance so I went sa public healthcare and libre lahat from checkup hanggang sa panganganak ko. Bnayad ko lng 80$ para sa gamot. Inisip ko kung s SG ko cguro mga 10k+ magagastos since CS ako. The public healthcare is really good - super bait pa ng mga midwives, nurses, doctors. I was able to receive 18wks paid parental leave fr centrelink, plus family tax benefit A and some rent assistance. Then c baby very monitored in terms of growth, immunization - have to visit maternal child health nurse dto until he is 4yrs old to make sure he is growing & developing properly. .

Also, they r very family oriented here - like dun sa company nmin sabi ng manager ko they will allow me to work from home 2 days in a week once I resume work.

opo, isa un sa mga benefits even un visit s GP ay libre and worthwhile nman khit malaki ung tax n nakakaltas s sweldo dhil s mga benefits n gaya nyan.

Anyhow, advise sa akin ng colleague ko to buy a private health insurance to cover the family kc kung sa public daw and u need to see a specialist doctor usually my waiting period.

@happyinmelbourne34 Maraming Salamat ulit sa info! 🙂

ako naman - when I finally got a similar job to what I had in Singapore, it was more or less the same salary in $$ terms but when you factor in tax and superannuation (our package is total salary inclusive of super), lumalabas na I got a lesser take home pay...

Si misis naman was a massive downgrade sa 1st job nya as she used be a reporting manager in one of the big insurance firms in SG but dito she was working as assistant accountant in a local company.

But then again, you just have to work hard and eventually you will adjust na rin. Big adjustment? Yes definitely, we were no longer that trigger happy sa gastos namin as compared to Singapore before. 🙂

Hope this helps!!

prcand

@fromSingaporeToAu - oo, posible. but kelangan i-set expectations, kasi as new migrant hindi ka pa that much pwede makipag-bargain, unless specific at in-demand ung skillset mo.

btw, tax ko this year sa SG is11.5%, so mataas rin, kaya dapat i-explore ang salary sacrifice kasi 15% lang tax rate pag ganun.

Meron ba ditong medtech sa sg na mag apply sa au? Thanks

fromSingaporeToAu

@TasBurrfoot thanks for sharing, this is a big help... i don't have any specific plan for my big move so for now, tanong tanong muna ako sa mga andyan na..

Hope life is good for your family in Au 🙂

fromSingaporeToAu

@prcand meron nang work na naghihintay sayo sa Au?

goodluck on your big move this July... la pa ako plan kung kelan ako punta Au, I might stay here in SG for 1 to 2 years pa..

yan din ang napansin ko, parang dito sa AU, mas tipid kame. compared sa SG na trigger happy. dahil siguro eto sa malaki ang take home natin sa SG nuon compared dito sa AU, but may counter part naman yung nabawas na take home, the pressure is less at work, more time for family. You got a backyard, a car. So up to you. I would say, like @Admin said maganda ang SG for singles while AU for family with kids.

prcand

single ako. pero not necessarily the case na mas maganda SG for me. nade-dread ko pagiging EPass holder pag may mga external trainings, kasi hindi agad ako nakakasali dahil di pwede i-claim ng company ung fees for you as tax rebate. also, may mga events na for citizen / PRs lang dito, like free healthcheck (which though di ko naman kelangan, pero the thought of it lingers parin).

and eto ung pinaka-masaklap, hindi ko pwede i-pursue ang isang sobrang gusto kong passion kasi hindi ako pwede masama sa official roster dahil hindi ako PR or citizen. mawawala na lahat limitations na to sa OZ, thank God 🙂

@fromSingaporeToAu sa kabutihang palad, meron na.

heads-up lang sa 1 to 2 years na magwork ka pa dito sa SG pag may grant ka na. may high possibility na di ka makakapag convert to OZ citizenship (if gusto mo) in your existing visa. kasi you need to be in OZ for at least 4 years bago ka makapag-apply, eh validity ng 189/190 ay 5 years lang. so kelangan mo mag apply ng RRV, or alternatively, di ka aalis ng OZ until ma-convert.

Yup, I have a friend d2 sa SG na medtech for many years, then umuwi na ng pinas nung nanganak. Nkita ko lang this month na kakamove lang nila sa Melbourne with her family.

fromSingaporeToAu

@prcand wow congrats on your new job sa Au, meaning online ka nag apply since July pa move mo don? and may I know kung saang field ka?

regarding the citizenship, yup, aware ako na i would need an RRV or stay in AU until maconvert kung after 2 yrs pa ako mag move to Au. Though di pa rin naman talaga final kung magstay pa ako sa sg nang ganong katagal, who knows, andon na pala ako by early next year hehe...
