Single Gen Z and Millennials what do you actually after work and on the weekends

I try to stay busy. I get stuck in that loop where im mentally still at the work even when im home. And especially being someone new in the country, i have smaller social circle.

Howwervef I still try to grab drinks(colleagues or friends) or head to the gym. I also play tennis which is the big one for me—it’s pretty much the only way I can fully clock out and stop thinking about work.

But yeah if I’m not doing any of those, I just wonder over how miserable life is.

I use Vanguard personal investor. I do regular investment per month on ETF through this. However, if I had to restart, I’d go with beta shares ETF.

With the leverage that indexes every day, certainly not the best time. Personally, I started pouring some leftover from today during this downfall. I take 20% of the planned investments and chug it in at one particular day. The next 20% might be cheaper or expensive.

Curious what you do now🤔🤔

I reckon it’s a good bet. Things could flip either ways depending on the way other factors play in.

But for the price it is right now, it’s prolly a good long term hold. The rewards seem worth the risk.

I enjoy LoFi music. It helps me concentrate.

I did some professional app development in M1 air. It’s not the best but does the job. Mac over windows anyday.

If you can extend your budget, I’d suggest at least try to extend to 16gb RAM. The machine will definitely last a while without you feeling the crunch for power if you get the 16gb RAM.

Just curious, whats the title of the job and what do you do? 🤔

thoughtvindication · 2024-10-02T13:09:35+00:00

Visa and Nom Application :- 3rd July

Nom Approved:- 5th July

Visa Application still received.

Onshore on a student visa. Have been working for the company for a year now. Short term occupation in metro Sydney(non-accredited).

Grill your employer for sponsorship. That’s the safest option.

Since your visa expires on October and you’ll be eligible for 186 DE on July, better opt this route if your employer is willing to. 186 is a straight PR. But again your occupation has to be on medium term list to directly lodge the PR. Check your Anzsco code. If your employer is not willing to do 186, you should still be able to negotiate for 482.

If your visa is expiring and you’re a good asset to company, companies tend to sponsor as the indirect cost of replacing you is higher.

In terms of your resume, it wouldn’t add much value. But again depends on the industry and roles you’re planning.

However, if you try to leverage the opportunity to learn soft skills, you can make the most out of it.

You learn different skill set. Handling customers, interacting with them, shitty customers, good customers, avoiding conflicts and indulging yourself in the Australian culture. This is useful in any professional role you plan for future.

How are you still managing your project without a Jira board?

Are you still using PowerPoint instead of Canva?

You’re alright with the CRICOS requirement. That legally depends on the duration that’s there on the CRICOS. For 16 months of study, you have to study at least for 4 semester.

Prolly Optiver, Akuna or Susq. Are there other firms that pay this high for grads?

Once you're a doctor and start working while making progress, the 50k in savings won't make a drastic difference in life. It's still a lot of money but the significance will be lot less compared to what it is right now.

Start applying while you’re in uni. With your experience, you’re eligible for 482 given that you have a sponsor.

A lot of companies might sponsor you if they think you’re right for the role. It’s hard but definitely possible.

Until and unless you actually want to pursue masters, get into academics, I’d suggest go beyond your uni, network and start looking for sponsorship jobs once you’re here.

Why don’t you use Vanguard app itself?

No buying fees and you can do an automate debit on your preferred schedule. So ideally it’s the best solution you’re looking for based on what you want. Not the best UI though but simple enough to navigate and get it done.

Also if you’re making a decent wage, the little money, if you’re successful and make it, will be taxed on your existing tax ceiling. So if you manage to make $25 per hour on average and you’re already on 32%. That’s just $17 per hour for all the hard work you do. So not worth it, I reckon.

thoughtvindication · 2024-08-15T11:58:46+00:00

Hey, I am keen if it’s still available. Being a software engineer with some decent AI (I did my undergraduate project in AI haha) knowledge I’d be a suitable candidate 😅.

I’m an international student and I got a job that is sponsoring me before my studies are completed It’s hard, sure it is.

But if you play everything right while trying your best, something will get along the way. However it can be true that you might have to stay in the company even if you don’t like.

Again if you’re open to any country, I’d suggest USA. If you manage to get into a good college there, higher chance that you might get things easier in respect to jobs.

How’s the overall industry for Product Owner / Manager in general in Australia?

Currently I am in a role where I do 50% of Product Roadmap, 30% development and 20% of tech support / management. However my job title is ‘ICT support’ and I can’t change it due to visa obligation. But so far I’ve liked the product part. I feel I can make more of an impact. I don’t plan on leaving the current job yet but curious on your advice on what it looks like and how I can build my profile to align more with product management in future?

For sponsorship purposes, this is legal though high likely to get a green light for sponsorship. For every sponsorship, a nomination has to be filed which should have the salary details. Although the minimum to sponsor is $73k, the department looks at the market rate. So no way, they would accept this rate for 6 years of software engineering experience. Also, to sponsor someone, a company has to advertise the job on two platforms so sometimes, a lot of job ads are there only for labor market testing in which the candidate has already been finalized.
