Hi Everyone!

Need your advise as to which city has better opportunity for Philippine CPAs - Adelaide or Sydney? Also, saan po din ang mas maganda magstart ng family (just married this year) and better cost of living between these two cities?

Currently, these are our option on our migration application to choose from. Perth and Melbourne is closed/suspended for accountants already. Any inputs, advises and opinions are much appreciated. Maraming salamat po in advance.

Mac

    @reysistkant... aside po kasi sa opportunity sa pagiging accountant, consider ko din ang sa pamilya. Anyway, mas maganda yata ang suggestion na sa sydney :). Yun cost of living un monthly na gastusin sa housing, transportation, food & utilities.

    Hi @SYD_CPA , update update tayo, same situation here. I am now in Sydney and looking for a job. External audit lang ang experience pero gusto ko na magprivate e! Kaso madalas hanap nila ay CA/CPAA at may local experience. Parang ang best bet ko lang ay audit firms uli.. Pero as of now, no luck pa din! Haaayyyy

    Kung saan ka makahanap ng magandang work un ang better place. Pero kung paramihan ng vacancy syempre sa Sydney pero marami ka rin kalaban sa pagapply.
