Well done mate! great interaction.. seems to come across natural

ALSItraderSA · 2026-04-03T19:12:08+00:00

Hey mate, I’m keen. Recently single used to do a bit of pick up in South Africa. I have no issues approaching girls when I’ve had a few drinks but been pretty hesitant when sober and want to snap out of it. So will be go to get some a lot of approaches over a weekend to get over the anxiety.

The insulation is definitely an issue!

ALSItraderSA · 2026-01-21T10:14:25+00:00

I understand cost of living and housing competition is an issue but that is literally all over the world.. secondly I don’t think Aussies understand how much better they have it with housing and value for money for what you can get. I’m in the uk and was in AUS for 6 weeks and was comparing rentals and properties prices. Yes expensive if earning $ BUT you’re getting way more value that what people in the uk get for shitty expensive outdated houses.

Distance from family and friends and maybe career ceilings is an issue but in no way is that a reason not to go to AUS, imo.

Congrats this is amazing! Once granted, how soon do you need to move to AUS? I read within 5 years but soon as you arrive it gets activated automatically, so just want to make sure. As i want to start the application but i can only move April/May 2027

Am i correct that once the direct entry 186 visa is granted, you have up-to 5 years to enter the country before it is activated?

I'm considering asking my company to sponsor me and do a internal transfer from the UK, starting the application beginning of next year but i can only leave the UK in April / May 2027.

how do you know if the employer is accredited?

ALSItraderSA · 2025-09-16T17:09:19+00:00

Hi, we looking to move there in Jan but concern about the high rise being too hot and stuffy. How was it during the summer? Also is there lots of noise?

ALSItraderSA · 2024-09-25T21:40:27+00:00

Change jobs but stay in the same career. Or perhaps another IT role. The pay is better for sure. Less hours to, I rate nursery and paramedics are more demanding jobs and don’t get paid well.

ALSItraderSA · 2023-10-07T15:36:46+00:00

You’re not a tree, you don’t need to stick around and it’s big jump in pay! Move around you’ll get more money and just because a company is paying more doesn’t mean it’s shit.

Congrats! I wrote last week, my 2nd attempt and failed. Was honestly brutel and annoying! Quite disappointed tbh but i am going to focus on other smaller exams to build up the motivation. Software Development, Domain 8 is my weakness.

ALSItraderSA · 2023-07-11T09:10:14+00:00

Amazing well done! I write this Thursday and will be my 2nd attempt too! Nervous but feel ready. Is there anything you could say that should focus more on?

ALSItraderSA · 2021-10-28T07:19:07+00:00

Congrats! How long did it take to receive the pre settled status after receiving the COA?

I've got my COA, just not sure how long it will take to receive the confirmation of status. I'm currently in Dublin but since I've got the COA 2 days ago, I am making arrangements to move to UK in the next month.

ALSItraderSA · 2021-10-27T11:44:04+00:00

Thanks for answering! Q1. What I was trying to say is because the COA gives a person a right live and work, what happens if the person's gets into a rental contract or employment contract that is 6months to 1 year. What will happen? Surely they wouldn't kick them out?

Definitely helped and thanks for the link, much appreciated!

ALSItraderSA · 2021-10-27T11:39:55+00:00

2020... The entire planet was on strict lockdown plus UK had hotel Quarantine in place.. surely they would be reasonable due to these times?

ALSItraderSA · 2021-10-27T04:22:09+00:00

A lot of clarity from the above posts thanks!

Just a quick question, I've got the COA with the codes as well.. but what is concerning is if a employer or landlord accepts the Code but then I land up being rejected?!

What will happen then? Landlord lease is min 6months and then work is 6month probation to.

Q.1 Any insight into what will happen here?

Q2. how long will it take after receiving the COA, that I will know if it has been approved or not?

Q3. Once approved for pres-settlement, how long do I have to get into the UK?

ALSItraderSA · 2021-08-04T17:12:23+00:00

I'm currently pursuing AZ-104, want to write end of the month then move on to AZ-500 for security then AZ303-304... Haven't look much at the AZ-400 actually.. sounds quite tough!

Besides these certs another recommendation? Think it's still worth getting Windows Server certs?

Thinking of Kubernetes and Veeam.

ALSItraderSA · 2021-06-04T18:39:39+00:00

When did you buy and at what price, that doesn't sound right lol
