In line with what Cal says, if you think the assessment process is expensive, you'll probably be sick to the stomach when you work out the full cost of migrating.

England, mate. Four years for an undergraduate honours (in the main) in Scotland. The way I've seen and heard of things going by friends who went into academia, I can't even contemplate going back to visit St Andrews any more. It used to be a wonderful bastion of centre to centre-right thinkers with the odd SNP loony and Tory Toff thrown in. Goodness knows what the mix is nowadays.

Even that seems overly generous to me!

Would take an RMA to advise on the likelihood of working rights if on a bridging visa. In most circumstances if transitioning from a tourist visa, my guess would be a no to that.

I'd suggest you consult a registered migration agent like Paul who has posted above. You'd do well to get a professional assessment of your situation.

No.

That sounds like you did it a bit on the cheap, to be honest. I've a mate who moved over about 2 years ago who splashed nearly $65k just on the move alone. Mind you, he did fly the four kids and the two adults out in J, so that would bump it.

Yes, but to be fair, W.A has lots of resources. We're better holding on to them than getting rid of them...

If you can't decide which team to support, just slag off Collingwood. You'll be backed up by most of the state... and more than a few Collingwood supporters, too.

Add in usual caveats and warnings about 482s being temporary, no guarantee of permanent residency and the need to potentially go home on expiry here, etc.

It was a by-law when they started building the estate: no pet cats to protect native fauna.

P.S. Kudos on Angular; less so on .Net I've been fighting a losing battle with Vue/Nuxt 3 uplifts over the last few months... Eurgh.

Drop me a private line, mate. Happy to take this into the back channels and see if I can hook you up with any contacts.

Absolutely. We're more on the same page than not, mate. End of the day, I want tickets moved and products built. If people can't do that, they need to move on.

Yes and no. I've only met a handful of self-taught developers who really have a decent aptitude with complex algorithms and mathematics. That's not to dismiss folk or say there aren't any. I'd still rather have someone from one of the decent ancient universities any day of the week, though; at least they generally know how to balance soft skills with tech skills.
