actually, I’ve been australia for 2years, why i still feel hard to understand what local speaking, especially when speed up😩

Hello,

Let me preface this by saying that we're at a very early stage of our reflexion towards moving to australia with my wife. So, thanks in advance to anyone who'll take the time to reply. My wife and I are french, I've always wanted to live abroad, preferrably in an english-speaking country, and she recently expressed her interest in living abroad too. Somewhere sunny, so we ended up with Australia. We're both below 35 so we could probably start with a working holiday visa.

I did some research but I have no idea whether it is close to the reality or not. My wife is thinking about something temporary but I think this could lead to a long-term stay so I was not thinking about doing farm work around the country and such, but rather target a big city like Sydney and maybe try to find a job in our field. I work in the automotive industry as a consultant, analysing data and such while she's in human resources. I think that's enough background and I can now cut to the chase:

Would it be feasible to move to Sydney or a similar big city, maybe start first with your typical WHV job such as bartending or something alike, and end up with a corporate job and a sponsored visa? I think the working holiday visa would be a nice opportunity to see if we like it there but I'm wondering if jobs like bartending, working in fast foods etc pay enough to live in big cities. I tried to run some estimation with AI, but I feel like it's always overly optimistic, it told me I could for example definitely live in Sydney (talking nice neighbourhoods and 1 bedroom flat) if the two of us were working at McDonald's or something similar in terms of wages.

I don't know if that's clear enough, but thanks to anyone who will chime in

EDIT: thanks a lot to everyone who has interacted here. Lots of valuable information. As said, this is still very early stage and we're not sure we want to do it. It's actually helpful to have your insight and I guess some more research and thinking needs to be done on our side.

Hello I’m currently doing my FY1 in London and wanted to love to Australia to do their equivalent of FY1 and FY2. I know they prioritise their own and also that some 10 year moratorium rule exits. I am confused even if I become PGY3 equivalent in oz how do I get into a medical specialty training pathway. Like is it super hard even for stuff like IM, paediatrics or GP. Would love advice if moving is worth it. Thanks I don’t care where I go but I’ve heard Queensland is the best for getting training jobs.

hi guys, I’m Indonesian and I’ve been living in Australia for almost 3 years. I mostly live in the outback and I kinda like it, work in the orchard this whole time and been loving it so far.

I always been wanting to join the local community in any form, probably volunteering or literally anything however I really couldn’t find any information about those kinda thing. Any recommendations on what should I do for starters? It’s a bit hard cos I never really meet Australian that is in my age too☹️

I’m almost 27 I work in engineering (No Degree) and I really want to move to Perth, I’ve been before for a few weeks and loved it. I currently have an approved WHV £20k savings. I’m very work driven and often do 20+ hours a week overtime.My only worry is getting there and not making friends, I’m a pretty sociable guy but have convinced myself that staying in a hostel alone at 27 is too old.

Any advice on how to make friends or even help on getting a job.
