Hello, I have a few questions...
I'm based in the Philippines, working as a consultant BIM Architect (fully remote) for a large archi firm based in the Middle East. Consultant setup so I basically function like a normal WFH employee, pero contractually, hindi ako under the employ ng company.
Nasa 4 years total ang work experience ko sa ngayon (but not yet assessed by Vetassess) and best-case is nasa 75 points (assuming Superior English, positive assessment of 3 yrs overseas work exp) for Architectural Draftsperson - Subclass 190. It will realistically take another 2 or 3 years of age & work experience bago tumaas ulit yung points ko and improve my chances.
So, my questions:
1) Is 75 points good enough as it is now? So far as per my own research online, nasa 85-90 daw yung most common na naga-grant lately. So I understand kung medyo low ang chances, pero still asking to hopefully be told otherwise hahaha.
2) Would any of you know of any medium-large architecture/construction companies in Australia wherein nagha-hire din sila under a consultancy setup similar to my current job? I know for smaller offices/studios it is more common, as I've personally worked in a similar setup for a small Sydney-based studio previously. But now I'm leaning more into working for larger-size companies if given the privilege of choice hehe (personal career preferences).
Additionally, honestly ok naman yung work and company ko ngayon in terms of salary, workload, etc., but I'm exploring the thought of applying for companies more aligned to my longterm goal: Australia. I basically just want to make better use of my time and current skills in a way na nag-aalign with my long-term goals. So any leads would help! 🙂
3) Kung swertehin man akong makahanap ng work for an Australian company in that setup, would it count as "Australian Work Experience" points-wise? Answer to that is probably a no, but still I hope I'm wrong.
TYIA!
