Personally, kaya. Di naman nagkakalayo rates sa city and regional eh. Mas mahal cost of living sa city kahit malaki job offer mo eh. Mas madami nga lang in terms of job vacancy / posting sa city. Malaki sweldo means malaki tax. Narealize ko, ayaw kong mag ambag masyado para may maclaim yung mga tamad sa centrelink haha. Ang lalaki ng benefits ng mga yan dito jusko. Parang mga 4ps sa pinas.

Saka depende din siguro nature of work mo and financial obligations. Ako, so far i find work-life balance here sa regional. Hawak ko yung oras ko, and my super contribution din naman ako kahit part time lang.

sa type of industry ko kasi setting is nasa regional talaga kasi huge plants. you're right about the work life balance, its one of the reasons why we are here. nasasayangan kasi ako sa opporunity, govt owned company sya and exact same sa ginagawa ko sa pinas. I'll give it a crack

Gamitin mo agad sick leave mo kahit walang sakit karapatan mo yun hahaha. Talagang work life balance dito, 5-6hrs drive kami from major city talagang makakaipon ka ng todo todo, pag may pera punta ng major city tapos dun mo gastusin pero xempre depende pa din sayo.

Ang alam ko mataas ang crime rate dun sa Alice Spring parang pag pumatay ka ppwede mo na lang ilibing sa likod ng bahay eh kaso konti ang tao.

Kung civil engineer ka madami ata sa Sydney ang work mo eh meron din sa regional siguro WA sa mining ppwede mo ding itry malaki daw ang sahod dun eh.

As much as I have a choice kahit saan, basta may work, and what advice I received from locals na matagal na sa AU kahit sa dulo pa ng Alice Springs yan haha,goal is get that onshore experience first then after that saka na mamili or lumipat ng work.
Know your worth pla pag sa interview ,don’t undersell and be confident ✍️

@PeanutButter nahihirapan ako makahanap ng pasok sa budget. And if may pasok sa budget madame din applicants. Like sabi ng agent around 30 pax nag apply dito sa town namin. Di naman ako nagmamadali kasi currently nakatira ako sa pinoy (renting a room) but my experience living here will definitely improve once I have my own place.

@mathilde9 I actually have a part time job na, well not yet signed a contract. But I had a trial shift last week and I enjoyed it. I have another trial shift coming this Saturday and they and I will decide to proceed. With regards to activities, madame naman ako nagagawa pero ang major gripe ko with regional living right now is loneliness. It can get really lonely kasi wala ako makausap or makahang out na people my age, who doesn’t have kids, and would be good also if they are non binary. Haha. And I think that is too much to ask da regional areas.

@bambi15 regional area living (an hour away from a city - not sydney, but a regional city of 70k pop and 2.5 hr away from Canberra). Reality is you can go to the city anytime you want as long as you have a car. Another thing though is these trips will become planned trips, kasi sayang yung gas and yung time you spend on those trips. So make sure that the town you are gonna live has at least a grocery store, a cafe, a pub and some sort of recreation areas like gym.

@Ozdrims sa alice springs ka destino??
