Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?
My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking?

I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

You are looking at a time nearly everyone is looking for work.
Sponsorship options are limited. I scanned the list and there are very few jobs, even for managers and senior level roles. Usually 5% of these jobs sponsor for a 482 VISA. When your partner moves to Australia, she should have a resident VISA, not a 482 so you can work.
To provide some additional context: my partner is being relocated for her job for <more> than 12 Months.
I have started applying for a number of roles, expecting to be able to join her on the partner visa. However, most companies by default seem to stop the process for anyone not have a full working Visa. Understandably, as it probably costs them too much time, effort, and money to recruit someone from abroad directly.
But I am wondering how to tackle the issue? Does it make sense to give my notice at my current job and apply from within Sydney? Are there specific businesses that are more open to international applicants? Is there something I am missing other than that?
I am really open to any suggestions, help, advice that the community has for me.
Yeah, so far still no luck with the applications, but we just received confirmation on our Visas, and that was a blocker for many so far.
I also have 2 months of potential holidays I can you to quit my current job and spend searching for new jobs in Sydney whilst on the ground, that might help as well.
Good one on reaching out to agencies, maybe Randstad recruiters will have a weak spot for me as its originally Dutch ;)
Employer sponsorship has not really recovered since the pandemic. If you can get working rights through your partner, that would be the easiest route. For context, I tried to get employer sponsorship to move with my Aussie spouse, but with no traction I did an offshore partner visa that gave me full work rights and have easily found roles.
If your partner is an Australian citizen or PR, you can either apply for a partner visa onshore (820/801) or offshore (309/100). Both have their pros & cons. For onshore, the pros are that you get to wait out the processing time in Australia (current processing times are 6-37 months) and you get full work rights when you transition to a Bridging Visa A (BVA). The cons are that you must wait out the stay of another visa (shortest is 3 months) until the BVA becomes active, so that entire time you cannot work or leave the country since the stay resets. And once you get your BVA, you cannot leave Australia without getting a BVB. For offshore, the con is you wait out the processing time outside of Australia, and with current wait times being 4-30 months, you don’t know if you are going to be part of the lucky 25% that only take a few months or the unlucky 10% that is over 2.5 years. The pro is that you enter Australia with work rights.
If your partner is not an Australian citizen or PR, you are not eligible for a partner visa. You should apply to be a dependent on her work visa, and that should give you full work rights.
Use her Aussie address on the applications once she moves. You should get more interest. (I still think I put my overseas mobile as the contact number if I got a choice of country code.)
Healthcare is also mainly out of Melbourne. Your best bet for energy sustainability out of Sydney is with the utility companies.
It is better if both of you apply for work where you are both sponsored separately. The 482 is tied to the employer. That will not change post July 1, but they will allow temporary VISA holders to apply for permanent residency.
So you mean to first join her on her visa and then get sponsored individually? Getting sponsored by a local employer right of the bat is quite difficult it seems. She has the luxury to be sponsored by her current employer, and I can join her with full work rights.
So far Aus. employers dont seem slightly interested in my profile, so getting seperately sponsored will be even more difficult.
