  @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.
