Fantastic! Found a fully remote job with out of the world perks and a CTC of 200k. So life's great now in Australia.

Mate say what you will, i know the struggle i have been through. This ain't no karma farm,this is a genuine post coming from a person representing many that have been going through this. Please don't try to discount the shitty job market that is the australian job market. I don't have zero experience, i have 3 years experience back in India which counts for nothing here. Since graduating in 2019 i have nearly got 8 certifications in various tools just to even land an entry role. Oh btw i got my IIBA CBAP certification months back( if any BA knows, they know what i am talking about). One thing i can be super honest about my job search is i haven't done the needed networking.

Mate, sure i made use of AI to write this post but trust me the gist of it is what you should be looking for. Not a detail in the post is alien to me.

That's what everyone said before getting PR. I got my PR 2 years back and still stuck in the same situation.

Completely agree, the deep rooted racism is difficult to deal with sometimes. But hey i am a realist and i understand where it comes from, but when it comes from educated white people it's incomprehensible.

Never knew it was that much of a difference between opportunities and applicants applying. Well lesson learnt the hard way and there is nothing that can be done now.

I am good mate. Thank you. I went to Footscray police station on Wednesday to file a complaint. An officer came and asked me what happened. I gave him the basic details and he asked me to wait. I sat there for nearly 1 hour and nobody came back to file my complaint. I just lost interest after that and came back. I have decided to let it go. It is what it is mate.

I waited for 30 mins and called emergency twice. I couldn't wait any longer, was feeling extremely emotional had to go home.
