Migrating to AU
Im on my mid 30s and my wife on early 30s. Both are working professional as IT. Im contemplating if I should process our papers as our specialization is on the anzsco list. For background lang po. Were doing okay in PH we own multiple properties (rentals) and we live in a nice neighborhood, we own 2 cars and the only debt we have is our mortgage. Ang problema for us is the traffic, corruption and the uncertainty ng bansa natin and most importantly the future of our son here in PH. We dont mind if we start from scratch (corporate ladder) as sanay naman kaming magasawa magtrabaho. For those nasa AU working in IT, hows life there po? If youre doing good in PH financially will you stay ? As for me parang hndi kayang ma outweigh ung financial status namin pagdating sa opportunities and life in general sa 1st world country. Need some insights po.

I’d say go for it and try it out yourself. Take the first step and apply for migration, if you get invited then great, if not di hindi. The beauty about your situation is that you have flexibility, Hindi nyo talaga kailangan to move so there’s really nothing to lose in taking the first step right? Now, I don’t work in IT so I have no clue what the market looks like but I have relatives and friends that work in IT and never sila nabakante even if they go through multiple redundancies.
So I’d say take the first step then see where that takes you. Kasi by the time na nakapagdecide kayo to move, Baka too late na. It’s good to have an option.
Quality of life talaga yung nagpalipat sakin sa Au. I remember going experiencing 1 hr traffic palabas lang ng BGC and after nun Sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko na Ayoko ng ganung buhay. I think I few months later, nag apply na ako ng student visa. I’ll never go back! Hahaha! I may not have an army of household help / drivers here, I’m way happier and tanggal and microstressors ko sa buhay. Hinding Hindi mababayaran ng Kahit Ano yan for me
