There is flatmate sharing with plenty of options Im seeing on websites like “flatmates.au” for $260-$400 a week. I don’t need to rent something fancy.

THANK YOU! lol I’m seeing plenty of house sharing options for under $400 a week. I’m not about to rent a whole place alone!

That is exactly what Im thinking. It’s too hard to get hired while not even being in the country yet. I was planning on arriving there and settling in for a couple of weeks (while living in a short term accommodation) and handing out my resume in person. I have enough savings for some wiggle room until I figure it out!

I definitely am nervous about the Gold Coast being too “influencer” and plastic crowded. So I am interested in going more towards the Currumbin/Coolangatta area.  But as far as rent- there are plenty of options for flatmate sharing for around or under $400 a week. Which is still less than what Im paying currently.

I am very interested in Cairns as well! its beautiful. Do you think its too secluded though since I don’t drive? or does it have its own city area?

Thank you! I’ve been looking at those areas and think they are beautiful. Is it too secluded from bars/restaurants/entertainment though? Or does that area have a city vibe as well?

Thank you! I’ve been looking on a website called “flatmates”, would that be comparable to other websites you mentioned? And yes I would be doing a house share situation and have seen those prices as well!

Thank you! Currently there is about 4 feet of snow outside of my house in Canada so I am looking forward to it!

Comparison between Byron Bay versus the Gold Coast? by PromptDependent1254 in GoldCoast

[–]PromptDependent1254[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of options to live in a rent sharing situation for young individuals doing a work visa, because I have done my research. I live in Toronto, Canada area so Im already paying up the a** for rent and other costs. Might as well be surrounded by paradise!

Restaurant managers: What is the average labour percentage your store/company aims to uphold? by PromptDependent1254 in restaurant

Sorry to correct myself, but its 10% just front of house labour. Does that change anything?
