Re: Brisbane

Super and annual bonus is not included in the 125 000 quoted, but I did include the car allowance I get in there, plus company mobile phone. All in all, from the other posts I've seen since my...

Re: Australian sponsership

Good advice. Job titles can also be lost somewhat in translation too - my job for example gets called all kinds of different things (even just in the UK, let alone abroad).

Re: Brisbane

Re: Car Leasing / Buying. Help!!

Surely it isn't that ominous? 15,000 a year can't be a noose around your neck. Fuel, road tolls etc. Would all be covered as expenses by my employer as my job involves being out on the road.

Re: Brisbane

Thanks for that. We had noticed that the general prices of things like groceries, meals out etc., were all higher than the UK. The salary is net of Super and bonus and we do get private heathcare as...

Thanks :-)
