Okay ang Salary mo. Kunin mo na every year naman tumataas ang sahod dipende sa performance mo. Staka first company mo yan dito sa Ozzie so puede ka lumipat at makipag negotiate ng malaking sahod sa susunod na company na papasukan mo. Kailangan may trabaho ang husband mo para magaan gaan ang pagbayad ng renta ng house. Anu pala Visa mo?

Ginawa mo kong girl ah, oks lang. On 457 visa. I don't want my wife to work on the first year hanggang di pa kami adjusted. If I will include ot, which am sure meron, aabot ng 110k plus other allowances.
Siguro an lalaki ng mga sahod nyo!

Your salary is more than enough but then again it all boils down to your lifestyle. Kahit gaano pa kalaki yan and if maluho ka naman hindi din yan sapat. Walang sasapat sa lifestyle na puno ng luho.
My first salary here, that's 2 years ago, is just $30k per year excluding super annuation. I accepted it because I was already desperate to get a job after more than a month of looking. It was not related to my profession but it provided me more than my basic needs. With that salary, I was able to fend for myself, rented a place for $200/week, sent money back home monthly, paid my credit cards, had some leisure activities like eating out and movies, bought some gadgets, and saved up for my vacation back home. Our difference is single ako. My point is depende sa iyo yan kung paano mo e budget.
I can honestly say na more than enough na yan, in fact for your first job here, that's already considered lucky.
I have been wondering if yong ibang nag comment dito ay may maluhong lifestyle, mayayabang or just plain lucky to have started working with a salary higher than what you are about to receive.
I know a lot of people living here for more than a decade already who are receiving just half of your possible salary but are enjoying decent lives.
And for the record, I live in Sydney which is more expensive than the other cities in Australia.
PS. Do not include OT in the computation of your income dahil bihira ang OT dito.

Kapirangot lang ang sahod ko mate, ang dami ko ngang utang na eh pero ayus lang kasama sa tagumpay yan eto nga nalampasan ko rin ang pagsubok kasi Citizen na ako ayuss!!! yeheyy...
Maganda ang offer sayo for 457 pero you have to clarify to your employer kung ilang years ang contract mo at kung payag sila na sponsor ka for Permanent Resident. Yun ang importante i clarify mo mabuti. Hindi biro ang 457 working visa kaya basahin mo maige ng 2000 times ang Contract mo.
You have to ask kung sagot ba nila ang 2 weeks accomodation mo while looking for permanent accomodation. Ask also kung sagot ng company ang health insurance mo.
Kapag working visa. Hawak ka ng company mo. Kung hindi maganda perfomance mo at hindi sila masaya sa ginagawa mo. Anytime puede ka pabalikin ng employer sa pinas. Okay ang Australian employer kapag sinabi nila gagawin nila. May isa silang salita pero you have to show them na hindi sila nagkamali sa pagkuha sayo.
Kung regional area ka after one year puede kana mag apply ng Permanent resident pero dapat sponsor ka ng employer mo. Kung hindi naman regional, after two years dun ka lang puede mag apply ng Permanent resident pero sponsor pa rin ng employer.
Libre naman ang primary at secondary school for your kids. Pero dahil 457 working visa wala kayong matatangap na assistance sa government. Puede mag work ang misis mo. Basta tyaga muna at tiis, kasama sa tagumpay yan. Attend kayo sa Church na may filipino para may moral support at para di kayo malungkot kapag nandito na kayo. Pero piliin nyo rin ang magiging ka close nyo hehe...
457 ako dati mayt. Just a reminder 457 working visa is a temporary visa. Goodluck and God bless... Cheers "ozzie ozzie ozzie oi oi oi"

Not for entry-level anyway. Baka yung mga sinasabi niyong high-earners consultant level na. Who have 20-30, even 40 yrs behind them.
Most Pinoy doctors dito kilala ko are entry-level pa lang naman kasi mahaba talaga ang proceso to get full registration. Anywhere from 6-15 years to get that title. Six years if very smart and can finish all exams in one-go. For normal people, 10 years usually from the time you start your journey in Aus. Also, sangkatutak na exams, non-stop assessment and years of experience po kailangan.
