here goes my dilemma. if i decide to join a ship now, there's a big chance that i will miss ied,if ever we get our grant this year.
If i don't join a ship soon then i will be out of practice for a very long time with little chance of getting hired again + the issue of dwindling resources. Ok lang sana kung magka-grant agad. But then there's no gurantee that we'll get one this year or next.
Frustrating na & i really don't know which decision is wiser.
Ang haba na,sorry guys!

Grabe pala ang taas ng income tax sa australia. With my current salary dito sa singapore, my tax is equivalent to AUD4500 per year. With same amount of salary in Australia, tax is AUD18500 per year. 4 times higher.
Pero kung makakasama ko naman mga kapatid ko sa Melbourne, oks na.

kung visa 189/190 sana straight forward lang
pag nagpamedical and PCCs completed na, then your IED would be approximately one year from that..
so you can estimate kung kelan yun.. and plan accordingly whether to accept or not the your next assignment...
the complication is kung may quota nga ang visa nyo..

I really thought that medical and pcc were the ultimate requirements already. I believe they should have given us our slot the moment they asked for our medicals and pcc's. It is simply unfair that we still do not have our visas even after qualifying in all aspects of their requirement.
Right now I really don't know if it is still wise to once again wait for who knows how long or to just move on with our lives.
ano po palagay nyo mga kababayan?
