BendigoBoy

Be a heck of a brave entrepreneur to offer £50-100k for folk who are emigrating and would likely be beyond the reach of the British court system should they decide not to repay.

And if it has been set alight in the last few days or not. Wondered what all the sirens were on Sunday in Bendigo.

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.

I don't want to put *anyone* off furthering themselves; however, quite honestly, I care less about postgrad degrees when I am interviewing, and infinitely more on whether the person I am interviewing can (most importantly) communicate clearly and (almost as importantly) knows what the hell they're doing. A bit of gumption is never a bad thing in our industry, buddy. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. P.S. Monash is a good university; but I see far too many people just "chasing degrees" rather than actually learning to do a decent job. I'd rather take the grafters than the grifters.

Too easy. Look at Eynesbury, unless you have a pet cat.

Sunbury's fine (just, for the love of God, don't accidentally move to Sunshine). Got a couple of colleagues who live there, and they're quite happy. If any kids have gone missing around there and anything untoward happened, it's not made the headlines over here as far as I've seen or heard on the radio.

Neither will. Your skills, application, and interviews with employers will provide you with a job. Honestly, from what Adelaide teach on their masters courses you'd be better off doing three months of intensive self study on computational neuroscience, LLMs, fuzzy logic application etc etc than spending tens of thousands on a churnmill degree

So much for "indefinite"

I wouldn't trade Oz for the world; however, you have a solid ally here in living mortgage free. If you have indefinite leave to remain, my understanding is it doesn't expire, but on that I will yield to anyone more in the know. Whatever you decide: Good luck!

Jealous. Haven't seen a payrise in 3 years!

A nice scenic walk and free exercise!
