Hi! I am planning to make the big step and try to move to Melbourne. I always dreamed about it and now that I’m 28 I have no excuse to not give my best to achieve the major goal of my life. It would be extremely helpful if you could give me some insights:

Getting a basic working visa by my own before getting the interviews VS make the company offer me the visa they prefer.
Which one could benefit me more or at least not put me in a disadvantaged position? (I came from Europe)

You'll need a skilled working visa - have you had a google? Any that you can obtain without restriction on hours (ie not limited to 20 hours like a student visa) or the rural visa which won't allow you to work in melbourne or sydney

Thank you. My actual wondering is: is it not better to make the interviewing company decide which kind of visa you should have? Different skilled visa has different timeline with different working hrs allowed. Wouldn’t I risk to be less preferred than another who has a better visa?
But since I don’t know the need of the different company I wonder if I makes sense to apply for the visa after or before the interview.
The goal is anyway working in Melbourne or Brisbane

You should probably get the visa first. I moved to Melbourne exactly a month ago, have been applying since and haven't received any interviews yet. And all good jobs / big companies ask for your visa type and grant number. Mostly everywhere the requirement is that you be in Australia. For me the major problem is not having any local experience.
