Have just handed in my resignation meaning that I can actually go in March now... knees are trembling... I think I need a beer to calm my nerves...

What makes it even worse is that everything is going well at work with good prospects... normally people go when things are bad!

I'm in exactly the same situation!

Have told my boss that I'll be off in March and bloody worried because the company is doing so well and I'm worried I may miss out after helping set it up etc.

Scary stuff!

Hi, i am going on a 457 visa have a job starting in March, have to give two months notice at work, so should really hand it it on Monday. BUT i do not have my visa yet! Very stressed but trying to keep myself under control. I think i will be shaking when i hand my notice in as it will all feel very real and like the final countdown has begun. My thoughts are with you and i think you should have lots of drinks tonight

Hi Guys,

I am in same situation told boss that I am going in April and he is gutted, offered a sabatical so that I can come back if things dont go well. If you are like me the worry is having no job secured down under, feels mad leaving a good job with prospects and having nothing lined up. This I suppose is the gamble and although scared it does feel exciting at the same time.

Good to see so many people in the same boat.

Finally decided to accept my offer, after what feels like years of not sures. In reality only a couple of months.

Told my boss, and the same as you finally the company is going well, at the time i decide to move on !! great.

But no looking back.

Good luck to us all

Us too!! OH is doing really well at work and got good prospects and having to hand in his notice on Monday - we leave in Feb....so scary, but thanks for the reassurance that there are many people in the same boat, and anyway, you can always do just aswell on the other side of the world!!!!!!

Good luck to all,

I agree that the biggest fear is going out to Oz with no job lined up. It scares me silly.

Luckily we're staying with my wife's parents for a few weeks to get ourselves sorted, but I do worry that I'll have to take a pretty big step down in my search for work. As I said I helped set up the company I'm at, and there's nothing else really like it around.

Ah I'm sure it will work out for us all!!

There's an ad on the telly here in OZ trying to get people to visit the Kakaudu National Park in the Northern Territory. Along with some great footage the punchline is "You'll never never know if you never never go".

Goodonya - and welcome in advance

Cheers, what makes it even harder is that I don't have a job lined up yet (will start looking in March) and I am going on my own as OH has changed her mind and we have split up... so will be totally alone... but it will be a challenge

As you say if you don't try you will never know...

An email went round work this week advertising my job internally and as I am sat next to the HR manager I heard her phoning up the agencies trying to get someone to fill my post It felt so strange.

It's odd because most jobs have a shelf life where in the end you are ready to move on but when you move areas/countries you have to give up your jobs when you arn't quite ready (well I'm not).

But .. he ho, that's life. Just look to the future and it will all come good, you'll see.
