I am just lucky, work ability is just fine. Our company has sent 100+ people to US/Japan/Au/UK/Canada (Number of employee from high to low) so far. Total employee number is about 3k in our company.

It's no trivial issue as you are struggling between 2 very different countries. Despite the fact that most Americans consider Aussies as their friends down under, the States is still a far cry from AU in terms of value, culture, pension system, etc. Which country you would end up staying revolves around the life goal you are seeking and you are the only person who knows yourself. Others cannot be the decision maker for you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm not willing to help you out. It is said IT industry in US is much more advanced and has lots more opportunities. However, some friend of mine can easily land a high end job in AU whilst another guy struggled quite a bit hunting a job in US, given the fact that both of them graduated from Stanford. Everyone is unique and has his own dream to fulfil. If you know yourself well you undoubtedly already had an idea whether the life in US is your cup of tea of not.

Well...if you are clueless about what goal you seek in your life, better learn by trial and error~~~ C'est la vie

I understand what you mean. You did give a clue. Thanks

I think I have no way back. I have to go to Au given the current circumstance.

Hope I can find a job there soon when I reach there.

By the way, you are in Au now? Did you find a IT job? Good luck.

还有个问题，现在是电子签证，所以不需要在护照上贴签了？直接拿着护照去澳洲就行了？

楼主，还是要去贴签的

Thanks. I made my 175 lodgement on 22.Feb.2011 and got my visa on 26.Oct. As an SAP BW consultant, it's also a question for me whether I can successfully land a job in AU. Jolly nerve-racking...

Prior to my career as a BW consultant, I'd worked as a JAVA developer for 2.5 years after graduating from SJTU and an ABAP developer for 3 years. I did a rough search on www.seek.com.au and found that most of the SAP BW jobs require at least 4 years experience. Unfortuantely I've got only less than 2 years experience. Therefore I would rather stay the course for 1 or 2 years before heading to AUS.

However, my former colleague who had no BW experience but 2 years ABAP experience successfully secured a BW consulting job in Sydney within 2 weeks upon her arrival. And the rate was extremely enviable. So, it's a case by case issue and also dependent on who you really are. I was never a piorneer and I am used to getting everything carefully planned before walking the talk. But, maybe you are the sort of bloke similar to my former colleague, it takes all sorts to make a world, doesn't it? Best wishes to you.

幸福的烦恼，无论如何还是要恭喜的

I asked the Au Embassy, they said you'd better have a labled VISA if you go to Au from China.
If you go to Au from US, you do not have to.

Your career path is different from mine. I only work as a Java Developer. I have 6+ years Java experience and my Java skill is at normal level. I also checked the website you mentioned and found 1000+ Java position in Melbour. Just not sure I am able to clear the interview.
