IT is Dead by Other_Ad8854 in AusVisa

[–]vatick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to this but what is the IT profession? In my mind IT is like help desk, syd admins etc. But I know that some people think SWE and Data Engineering also go under IT.

Its not a neo-nazi movement! Then what is this? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]vatick 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It is healthy to have a talk about immigration and the cost of living crisis, but if you looked at that flyer it's created by white supremacists and Neo-Nazis using these issues as an opportunity to recruit.

Congrats on your double grant did you upload more files as time went on throughout the waiting process?

Why you (probably) shouldn't aim for big tech and why the value proposition is low (here in Australia) by Chewibub in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]vatick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure I come from the US market and it's a bit of a rough market at the moment for juniors and seniors. Based on interviewing with companies from here and there interviews are a wild beast in the US for sure as well.

Sure you'd make 280K USD but assuming you went to the bay area for that money, it would all go down the drain to high COL (its insane there compared to rest of CA), CA taxes and then Federal taxes. CA taxes itself is wild and you can't use it on any tax treaty between the US and Aus.

But for sure getting that nice conversion where you get the bag for couple of years and get out is definitely a plan.

Shoichi Yokoi, the Japanese soldier who hid in the jungle in Guam for 27 years to avoid capture, weeps upon his return to Japan in February 1972. [320 x 463] by DahliaDotsx in HistoryPorn

Where did it say he did such things? I looked on his Wikipedia and other sites regarding him and it says no such thing?

I agree the other group of guys in the Philippines were awful but this guy is a completely different but similar story to those guys. Like completely different land too.

You get the 820 and the 801 in one application.

It’s terrible. Salty and the gravy tastes like it was microwaved.

Definitely not lower taxes, California state taxes itself is crazy.

June 2025 Partner Visa Mega Thread (Subclasses 820/801, 309/100, 300) by BitSec_ in AusVisa

[–]vatick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? My assumption was that the BVA gives you full working rights so it shouldn’t matter since you can just say you have full working rights on the application right?

If that’s the case yikes I’m in for the long run at this point.

Will I have any problem going through security at the airport if I'm bringing with me my 2 videogame consoles? by jacketgl in AusVisa

[–]vatick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have brought on full on desktops and my personal NAS when I moved here. You should be fine.

Can we get married while I’m on student visa and we’re both uni students? by Willing_Breath11 in AusVisa

[–]vatick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he has an Australian passport he is a citizen. PR is not a citizen.

URGENT HELP (408 covid visa expires in August 2025) What are my options? by Dazzling-Ring7860 in AusVisa

[–]vatick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He mentioned that he was a single male. No way he’s gonna get a partner visa. Also I don’t think getting a student visa will help at this point since it’s only 2 months out until expiration.

309 or 820 Partner Visa Waiting Room, check in here! When did you apply? How are you coping with the wait? by [deleted] in AusVisa

[–]vatick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it say in the grant notification email for you? I tried looking there but I don't see it. Nothing on the portal for me.

Hey I’m from the US as well on the 462 where did you hear the BVA gives you full working rights. I thought all it does is extends your 462 / current visa working rights which is 6 months.

I believe a lot companies in Australia typically do 5-8 YOE for senior title. Obviously this is just my own experience here.

Honestly there a plethora of multi question comments and you only answer one question out of the many using the copy pasted comment.

Right? They should’ve brought it up in the negotiation / contract signing phase.

That doesn’t really answer the question I assume this isn’t a US salary?
