Default Can I leave?

Hi all. Wonder if you could clarify something for me before I make a definite decision. I hate the job I am in at the moment. Have worked there for over three years and would love to leave at the end of the year. Planning to submit a 175 visa application on 3rd November. Have my skills assessment from appropriate body and all the necessary points. Would it hinder my application if I left my job? Would appreciate advice.
Thanks

SZ

You should really post this one on the immigration site I would have thought.

My understanding of the rules are that you have to be in your job as detailed on your paperwork at the time you apply - what happens after that is irrelevant as the information you gave at the time you submitted your visa was correct.

In short, after you submit you can hand in your notice with no ill effects but you would have to inform DIAC of your change of circumstances.
