    Yup totoo tough competition, kadalasan kalaban natin mga pana. Every final interview ko lagi akong nakakakita ng pana na applicant.

    Kailangan din pala dito naka suit at tie during interview buti na lang yung landlord kasukat ko at nakahiram ako hehe, satin kasi long sleeves formal na yun e.

    Glad to hear or your *fortunate* predicaments sohc! Just like the others, I am also in IT but seem to have been using less-marketable languages. I have been using TIBCO BusinessWorks (neverheard noh?) and rarely do I get to see OZ companies needing such. Hope we get to share some of your blessings.

    Good luck on your new job! Laki sweldo, uwi madalas at permanent na, You Already! (Ikaw na!)

    @sohc, hehe astig naman at in demand ka diyan :D
    Tip ko lang sayo tutal generous ata offer sayo...i-negotiate mo na mag salary sacrifice ka...paabutin mo sa lower tax bracket ang salary mo.

    Kunwari 90k annual salary nasa 30+% tax yan...ipagawa mo sa employer mo na isalary sacrifice niya kunwari 30k...Mangyayari niyan...30k mo mapupunta sa superannuation tapos ang income tax mo bababa sa 20%+...malaking katipiran sayo yun :)

    @Pau Thanks! I'm not sure sa programming based sa mga nabasa ko mukhang madami ang competition sa line ng programming. Also mas kokontakin ka nila kapag andito ka na :)

    Guys may nakausap ako pinoy dito, suggested na I apply for RSMS Visa since ok ang bigay ng company para permanent na agad. Although ok lang din naman ang 887 visa na 12 months work and 2 years living.

    @sohc Mas maganda nga yan sir kung mabigyan ka nang company ng RSMS visa.Kasi para meron ka na agad mga benefits ng PR. Kaysa mag intay ka pa sir ng 2 years. Diba mas ok po yun?

    Mga peeps sensya na busy sa work. Mababait mga officemates ko lalo na yung mga matatanda. Tawag nila sakin "young ronald". Lagi ko naririnig "where's young ronald" hehe. Bukas first lunch out papa picture ako.

    Usually umuuwi na mga officemates ko ng 4:30pm. Akala ko kasi 5:00pm ang uwian sinabihan ako na "you can go home early, you don't need to stay until 5:00pm. As long as you render the 7.6 hours you can go".

    Medyo loaded sa work napapag isip isip ako ng kung anu the past 3 days pero nung pinakita na yung sample pay slip today natahimik na ko hehe :)

    @LokiJr
    $220/week kasama na kuryente & water. 2 bedroom granny flat kami natira ng wife ko. Actually may tiningnan kami ng wife ko bago ako magstart sa work kaso sobrang lapit tatawid lang ako office na, ayoko ng ganun. Gusto ko pa din yung ngttravel, via public transport mga 40mins din byahe. Sa labas kasi ng city located yung office, malapit sa airport.

    Pero kung may car mga 20mins lang.
