> 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.
Hi. With this kind of attitude and bitterness I am glad hindi ka nakuha.
Attitude > Skill
Also your post is not helpful. Lalo na sa mga narurupok or first timers.
Just help others

Mukhang ok naman ang tip nya @mikeloieuy. Baka ikaw lang ang bitter. Ikaw lang siguro ang marupok, nandamay ka pa. hehe. Malaking tulong sa mga tao para alam nila ieexpect nila. Lalo na sa mga pamilyado na tulad ko na may papaaraling mga bata pagdating dun. What he said makes sense. If you are skilled and have enough points to lodge an independent visa application, would you rather not do that instead? Sabi nga ni @matthewoz, igrab nyo na lang yung opportunity para may +points for local work experience.
Wag po tayong manghusga ng kapwa para hindi tayo husgahan. Wag maging masaya kung hindi pinalad ang kapwa. Baka mangyari din sayo yun @mikeloieuy, ikaw din. Gusto mo ba maging masaya kaming lahat para sayo?

He is actually being helpful. Realistic pa nga yung insights nya and opened up several points for consideration. It's good to hear this kind of comments din, it's not discouraging, if anything it gives you a different perspective to this whole application process. Depende parin naman sayo yan kung igagrab mo yung opportunity or not. And it's not like he's dragging people down. At least he gave you actual figures to think about and hindi puro toxic positivity lang.

Kung priority mo na makapagwork abroad at eventually makaalis ng pinas, magandang opportunity ang planit, wala ka namang ilalabas na pera para asikasuhin ang visa mo, sure pang may dadatnan kang work pagdating mo dito. Whereas pag independent ka, malaki na nagagastos mo, di pa sure kung maiinvite ka for visa. Tapos pag naapprove naman, wala ka naman agad trabaho pagdating mo, nagastusan ka na nga sa visa, puro pa palabas ang pera mo pagdating dito au. Although syempre pag may sure work ka tapos approved agad pr visa, aba ok nga ang independent 😊
Planit is a stepping stone, naka-bond yes, pero naman kasi ginastusan ka nila eh, saka andami trainings at certifications na pwede mo makuha habang bond ka. Eh forever na sayo ang learnings mong yun kahit lumipat ka na ng company. Walang madaling daan patungo sa pag-asenso, lahat magsisimula sa baba. Kumbaga, nagsisimula ka ng bagong buhay sa bagong bansa, parang fresh grad na kumukuha ng experience. Lahat pinaghihirapan kumbaga.
So ano ba gusto ko sabihin? Bahala na kayo dyan sa buhay nyo. Hehehehehe. May online calculator, icheck nyo dun magkano net sahod nyo minus tax at super. Remember may tax refund ka dito bandang june, so may balik kahit papano ang kinaltas sayo.
Gastusin dito, depende, may pamilya ka ba or single? Pag may family consider presyo ng childcare kung magwork din asawa mo. Kung single, mag-aral ka na magluto, mahilig magbaon ang mga tao dito. Isipin nyo din homesickness lalo na pag sanay kayo pinagluluto at pinaglalaba ni mama, naku mahihirapan ka dito mag-adjust.
Balitaan nyo kami pag ok na ang PR visa nyo para kami naman magpapatulong sa inyo kung papaano nyo nakuha yon 😊
Bilisan nyo din pala mag-independent apply kasi medyo naghihigpit na sila eh, antaas na ng points na kelangan para mainvite.

Para naman makabawi ako sa mga asa thread na ito.
gumawa ako ng weekly budget estimate sa kabilang thread. Para may idea sila.
Agree with the Independent Visa 189 or 190. Balita is kahit 85pts hindi natatawagan or ang tagal sobra

Good evening po mga ma'm sir. May question lang po ako regarding sa application process.
I was part of the last roadshow ng planit here sa Pinas. And I got a feedback from them that I passed the roadshow but may slight change sa requirements ng client kaya nilagay muna nila details ko sa talent pool. Eto po exact statement:
"You have been identified as someone who has passed through our roadshow, and we think that you have great Planit potential. However due to a slight change in our current requirements, we will be placing your details into our talent pool for the next 6 months."
Tanong ko lang po if pag nakatanggap ng ganyang email, may possibility parin ba na maacquire ni planit? or mejo malabo na yung chances?
Thanks in advance sa makakapagbigay ng feedback!

Hi,
It means pasado ka, wait for ilang months, they'll keep in touch. Wala pa lang project na mapaglalagyan, pero once meron, they'll call. Ganyan din letter ko, after 4 months tinawagan nila ko.
Regarding sa pay, totoo naman ung sinabi nung isa na mababa tlga salary. If malaki kita mo sa pinas at both kayo ng wife mo ng wowork, Halos wlang difference ng savings nyo. Ganun din samin, halos walang difference ng savings namin sa pinas at dito, so parang walang sense mag move. Mahihirapan na kami, wla naman added benefit short term.
Pero tinuloy pa din namin, kasi para sa kids namin at long term goals. Eventually if maging PR makakapagprovide kami ng educ at healthcare at tingin namin na magandang buhay para sa kanila. THough mahirap dito kasi ako lang magwowork at bantay si misis. Tipid muna. Di kasi uso yaya at mahal ng childcare.
Hindi din kasi namin kaya mg labas ng close to 1M para makapag process ng PR.
So check nyo lang ung risk appetite nyo and kung anong long term goal nyo sa buhay. Tutal pwede ka naman bumalik ng Pinas anytime, and tama din ung sinabi ng isa na unti unting ng hihigpit sa pag process ng PR.
God Bless sa lahat!
