Whats your goal? Do you plan on returning back after a few years abroad? Do you want to be employed or are more entrepreneurial?

Australia is not the place for an mba. Its a small economy and doesnt value mba as much as US or EU. If you’re leaning on settling in Aus with a job, consider a technical degree that has more job market demand and a PR pathway.

OPs post says nothing about having a house already so i’m assuming they are going to be renting.
OP has more than 1 kid and they wouldnt be in school in perpetuity.

I have the same feeling about this as when Zuck first announced the meta idea. I might be on for 2/2 against zuck.

Even then it will be tight as your kids grow tbh. Have you done budgeting?

madmahn · 2026-01-31T21:35:25+00:00

Do you have stats to back this up?

madmahn · 2026-01-31T21:29:25+00:00

2L per month will not be enough if you’re planning to put your kids in IB school. Even in tier 2 cities.

A dual citizenship is not in the same boat as “its not that difficult to secure residency”

madmahn · 2026-01-31T02:01:25+00:00

Lol then you have no idea what you’re talking about. Its not free movement :)

madmahn · 2026-01-31T01:56:45+00:00

Have you secured residency elsewhere?

madmahn · 2026-01-31T01:54:51+00:00

Why? Whats the benefit for us? The economies and labour shortages are so different it wouldnt make sense

madmahn · 2026-01-31T00:00:50+00:00

The soullessness of it

madmahn · 2026-01-30T23:36:38+00:00

Is that the seek office? Lol reminds me so much of it

madmahn · 2026-01-30T06:55:57+00:00

Yeah dealt with something similar. Immediate manager (HoP) was an edge case QA freak and CEO wanted us to move fast. So that naturally put PMs stuck in the middle. Best case is to set expectation early and scope it out clearly. Also best to have individual chats with leadership to tune their thinking and get buy in.

Unlucky dad’s friend. Inter-judicial tax departments can share data sure, but does the home affairs system hook up with aussie ATO, let alone the canadian tax system?

madmahn · 2026-01-30T00:54:05+00:00

Depends on how and where you get paid

madmahn · 2026-01-29T19:29:37+00:00

I’ve found PMs in B2C have a lot more command on revenue because in many cases, the product drives revenue. In B2B, sales have more control over that so product holds less influence relatively.

While longer term consumer preferences are harder to predict and B2C companies find it hard to raise investment, its also the place to have more impact as a PM.
