You can try and check seek.com.au for a range for your occupation. search mo yung position mo, then makikita mo yung ibang openings na may salary range. if naka hide sa posting, you can use this tool para masilip, https://www.whatsthesalary.com/. not 100% working all the time, but 80-90% nagana sya para makita yung naka hide na salary range. Super is mandatory regardless, better say expected salary + super. not expected salary including super.

Hello Guys,
Magandang araw sa inyo. Yung mga mag B-Big move dyan next month, meron kaming available 2 rooms sa Albion for rent po.
Tanong nalang rin po about sa Driverโs license ng PH. Nag renew kasi ako ng Driverโs license dito sa Davao tapos ang naibigay na license ay temporary lang kasi naubusan na sila ng PVC(plastic card) , yung license ko ay nasa papel lang. Kung sa Victoria po ako mag papa convert ng license, paano po ang proseso nito since naka temporary/papel na license lang ito. Medyo sumasakit po ang ulo ko dito kasi nag pa rebook kami ng ticket para lang hintayin un PVC na maissuehan den malaman laman namin na nationwide na palang problem ito. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Kamusta po sa lahat,
May tanong lang po ako sa mga nakapag-BM na lalo na po dun sa may mga anak na. Noong na-grant po ba kayo at nagdecide na mag BM na, kasama niyo na po ba yung family niyo? Or yung primary applicant po muna then tsaka po sumunod un family niyo? Kung sinama niyo na po yun family niyo, saan po kayo nag-rent?
Nakausap ko po kasi un Pinsan ko sa AU. Sobrang hirap daw po kasi ng status ng rentals ngayon. ipipila pa daw yung application mo bago ka makapag-rent and besides sa pila is kelangan may work kana bago ka makapag-rent ng bahay dahil isa sa mga requirements is COE and/or Payslips. Kaya ang suggestion nila is mauna ako pumunta dun, kasi ako din naman yung primary applicant, then sumunod un famliy kapag settled na ako. Meaning may work na and nirerentahan na bahay.
Although dipa naman kami granted pero nadagdagan lang po yung isipin, bukod sa paghihintay ng visa grant, kasi ang hirap po mahiwalay sa family.

Question: My plan is to stay in NSW for 2 months for my first entry, to activate my visa, jobhunt, and complete mga other adulting stuff. Just thinking of different scenarios here: Once I secure a place, wala namang kaso if I leave it vacant when I fly back sa Pinas (will keep paying the bills of course and return to the place to move for real na)?
