Want to move to Aus from the UK but don’t have a role secured, has anyone made the move without sponsorship? Would love to get some advice 🙏

If you are under 35, you might have better luck finding a sponsor on a working holiday visa since you will have work rights (although the 6-month employer rule might make it harder).

Moved here after applying for PR directly. Look up 189/190 visa categories. It can take up to 18 months fyi

Eesh. No quicker way?

Unfortunately not - it’s a pretty stringent process.

On the flip side - having made the move and experienced working in consulting here, I’d say it’s really not worth it.

I’m looking to leave as it’s terrible market dynamics here - firms just don’t have appetite to spend and a lot of work is done in house anyway.

Would you mind sharing more about your experience in terms of overall culture, pay, work-life balance, types of projects, etc.?

I am planning to relocate from the UK to Australia, and your input would be extremely helpful.

I tried sending you a DM, but it says the user is unavailable for a chat.

I was over 35 and moved from US to Aus and did it with a Global Talent visa.

Yes. I talked to an immigration agent and they told me what detail I needed for my EOI. That took a little over a month to get. I gathered everything else I needed for my visa (about 3 weeks) and submitted it and heard back in 1 business day. Then the medical scheduling plus getting the results took another month.

Moved to uk 3yrs ago from Sydney and has been the time of my life travel the world, work is fine, new friends and experiences! Go for it! Esp when young
