Engineer kaming mag asawa at maayos naman ang sahod, comfortable ang buhay at nakakaipon naman.
Tanong lang para sa mga nasa Australia na galing UAE...
Saan mas comfortable, dyan o dito sa UAE.

very subjective po yan..
example..mas comfortable sa UAE, mabilis makahanap ng flat na uupahan, at pumara ng taxi sa daan.. maraming malls, shops na bukas kahit anong oras..
pero ang masasabi ko lang.. depende po yan sa kung anu ba ang gusto nyo sa buhay..
for your family and/or your kids in the future..
example, if ever, wala ng work sa UAE, babalik ba kayo sa pinas?
anung lifestyle ang gusto nyo? govt benefits? retirement? medical care?
ako kaya nagdecide na magpunta dito, gusto ko ng permanent na lugar (aside from phils)..
malinis na hangin.. magandang climate, wala masyadong stress.. etc..
maraming consideration.. pero think of one thing na gusto mo mangyari sa buhay mo..
kung okay na kayo dyan for the rest of your life...
maraming dapat isipin for migration.. gastos, prepare documents...at yung big move to find a job here..
malaking risk.. pero at the end, i can speak for my self na I did the right choice..

and one down side na nakikita namin here is since related and industry namin sa construction affected madalas ng crisis or recession. and common fear namin mag asawa is pano pag nag downsize ang companies like ng nangyari few years back although luckily hindi kami nakasali dun. siguro ngayon in the advent of expo 2020 baka mag iba ang path ng construction industry.pero it doesn't matter na to us… we are after good education for our children in oz and a better future for them. ika nag, we'll sac rice our good jobs here for our children's sake para when it's their time, they will not experience the hassles os visa application
so having all that as considerations, we have decided to risk our jobs and try the oz dream at least there, we can settle permanently without the fear na pay wala na laming visa eh papauwiin kami ng pinas.

For my own situation... Galing akong DEWA worked for 9 years with my family dyan. Living comfortably. Pero siguro not yet as comfortable sa iba nating kabayan dyan.
Sa akin my decision to move is long term plan... The benefits of getting citizenship.. Para sa mga bata at hindi na sa akin... Kasi sabi ko pagba ang mga anak ko nagtrabaho mag aabroad din sila? Malamang... Its better to have a different passport oz.. Not because di ko mahal pinas but for stratrgic purposes lang...
But it is a new beginning.. A new start..many challenges.. Di pwedneg i compare what u have now kapag nag uumpisa ulit... Kasi if u do.. Iisipin mong bumalik ng Dubai hehe... U have to set your mind and focus on your goal. By saying mag uumpisa ka ulit..siguro u need to mke sure yung transisition would be easier...like its better if u could get a job from there once u have ur visa..apply ka from there.. So at least di ka mababakante pagdating mo dito...mga bagay tulad nuon..marami pa silang isasuggest dito..
Pero syrmpre sabi nila dami risk... Kahut saan meron nun... It is really up to us eh. Anyway just sharing my opinion.
