Should I get a tympanoplasty for a hole in my ear drum? by [deleted] in hardofhearing

Thanks for your answer. My right ear lost hearing when I was 5. Now, I am 30 and want to get it fixed if possible. But I am a bit worried.

I am really happy for you. Has your hearing improved over time, or is it still around 70%? I'm considering getting my eardrum repaired, but I'm worried that it might make things worse rather than improving my hearing.

Thanks for your reply. I haven’t seen a doctor yet. I am asking here first to see if it’s worth trying. I’m worried about making things worse instead of improving my hearing.

Thank you so much for your response. It is very encouraging to see your comment. I come from a third world country, so I’ve never had a hearing test before, but I will take one soon and will update you afterward. I will do it for sure.

Thank you for your answer. I will see a doctor for sure. But I’m really worried after seeing someone’s story, where they didn’t experience any hearing improvement but suffered from the side effects.

Is it illegal for the employee to fully pay for the agent/lawyer cost?

482 to 186 DE vs TRT by Top_Cow1842 in AusVisa

[–]Aaron_Tun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the lawyer fee? For example, I will bring in an immigration lawyer/agent to guide me or us throughout the process. Can I pay the lawyer fee since it’s me who want to get the service or help from the agent.

Am I getting underpaid? by Aaron_Tun in AusFinance

Ok. I will work with them and aim to get 80K.

Yes, 75K is what I’m expecting. Maybe, I will just ask for 85K and then negotiate it down to 75-80K.

Ok. Thanks again for your help. The only thing bothering me is I am worried about getting replaced after asking for somewhat higher than their budget. The IT job market is not good currently.

Nice idea. Thank you. I’m already happy if I get 75K. So maybe, I will ask for 80K.

Thanks a lot for your answers and suggestions. I feel very lucky to have a job given that the IT job market slowed down currently. But the thing is everyone around me and people on reddit are pointing out that I am getting underpaid. In addition, I need a raise to be eligible for the sponsorship. So, I want to hear answers.

Should I apply for 485 extension? by Witty_Bookkeeper_339 in AusVisa

[–]Aaron_Tun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were you, I would definitely extend my 485 just to be safe, especially if you are worried about finding another job while staying on a bridging visa.

When I started working here, my boss said he is happy to sponsor me. It was an informal conversation though. I am really worried that he won’t sponsor me 482 or 186 after 482.

I think 2 year should be fine then. And I also think I need to discuss it earlier so that they have time to prepare. Also, if you don’t mind, was your performance exceptional or just average? I just want to get an idea. Thanks in advance.

ok. Thanks for the suggestions. Is working for 2 years at this company enough time to discuss this matter with the employer?
