I don't know if this would be the right bowl to put this in, but part of me has been thinking about doing graduate school abroad. I'm currently thinking about Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, but I don't have any plans. I know tuition and available programs are major factors into this, and I need some ideas on where I should apply to. For reference, I have a Bachelor's in Digital Media and want to do graduate studies in animation/digital media or marketing.

Depending on where you're currently located, and where you want to go, you can probably get a student visa. Perhaps you should spend some time doing research on overseas universities and what programs they offer. If you see something you're interested in, go to the university's web site and see what they say about foreign students. I assume if you can afford it they'll welcome you, but you may have to do a lot of paperwork to get a visa. Depending on your resources, it might be a great adventure to embark upon.

If you are hoping to stay after graduation, I would look at the post-graduation and visa sponsorship rules before going.

I did grad school in the UK pre-Brexit, and I know I didn’t really comprehend that the UK Tier 4 student visa at that time didn’t come with right to work, nor were companies willing to sponsor when they had plenty of EU candidates. (The UK student visa now comes with 2 years right-to-work but no visas for family members.)

I now live in Australia, and student visas are easy but getting employed afterwards is really hard. Most employers aren’t willing to sponsor, and I’d check the skilled occupation list to see if your career title is even eligible for a work visa.

It means that you would be currently be eligible for a working visa. That list does change.

However, it doesn’t mean you’ll find a sponsor. I’m not familiar with your space, but I’ve seen quite a few people asking for sponsorship in your space in the Australia bowl. I’d reach out to them to see what the hiring environment is actually like in your space. I know from my experience, it was rough — and I even had full working rights courtesy of my partner.

Hello, I have accepted an offer at a competitor company and sent in my resignation letter. My start date is 5 weeks from now so I put in my end date 4 weeks from date letter was signed. The manager said I had to leave the job in 2 days and the company can only play 2 weeks of work. Is it normal how they do that?

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄
