I’ve recently been offered a job in Australia, and while the opportunity sounds great, I’m not entirely sure if it’s the best move. Leaving Singapore for a new country comes with a lot of uncertainty, especially in terms of adjusting to the culture, cost of living, and lifestyle changes. For anyone who's made the move from Singapore to the Aus, what was your experience like? Would you recommend it, or should I rethink this decision? FYI, I also lived with my partner.

Woahhh, Aussie is fantastic for its work-life balance, outdoor lifestyle, and friendly vibe!! That said, the cost of living (especially in cities like Sydney or Melb) is something to prepare for. Maybe go visiting first if you can, to get a feel for the place. Living with your partner can make the transition easier since you’ll have emotional support.
