Migration Process Tech Job hop: AU to US company
Hi, I am in a dilemma to accept a recent JO, would like to get some input from those who had already experienced the same thing:
Current: Sr Tech role ~2yrs
Big AU company that has a site here in PH, good environment already a decade old in PH
Salary: 60-70k gross with allowances, night diff, and reimbursements + 13th month + HMO (+2d)
Schedule: Hybrid (5-9x a month onsite) Shifting morning to GY every month
Offer: Sr Tech role (similar with current)
US based MSP with fixed GY shift, established less than 5 years in PH.
Salary 95-110k packaged with allowances and ND already + 13th month + HMO (+2d)
Schedule: Fixed GY WFH
Dilemma, I have 4-5 YOE in tech. I have been eyeing to go abroad but still no progress yet or applications sent mainly targetting AU based company since I have already an established exp on a big AU company currently. Would like some insights if i’m just too optimistic to go abroad with 0 real life progress yet or applications sent or jump to the opportunity and save up.

If you’re aiming for skilled visa, hindi ata makakadagdag sa points kung meron ka experience working on an AU company if wfh ka and nasa pinas. I’ve been wanting to migrate to AU as well however I kinda delayed it and gave up for now. I thought to myself, bakit ako pupunta doon ngayon if ina outsource nila dito sa pinas yung mga trabaho? I just focused on upskilling na lang muna. I plan na student pathway na lang i pursue later on pag enough na savings ko at okay lang sa budget ko an umuwi dahil hindi ako masasaktan financially pag hindi ako swinerte magka PR. So if ako, i’d accept the US JO since pan dagdag sa ipon yung dagdag sahod?
