Firmware/embedded software Oppurtunities in Brisbane/Adelaide/Perth?

ScientificAmeri

Since I haven't got NZ citizenship, just consider the possible situation if I move to Australia later, since Auckland doesn't seem to be suitable for the rest of my life.

Is it feasible to get such kind of job in those cities at the level of $80k (I don't require much)?

阿德莱德这方面的机会很少，即使找到也只能吊死一棵树上。
墨尔本悉尼倒是很多

我想如果我想到澳大利亚居住,应该是只要买几张飞机票就行啦

"阿德莱德这方面的机会很少，即使找到也只能吊死一棵树上。"

That's exactly the situation I'm facing in Auckland, if being fired I can't find another firm to work.

So, still sounds no bad.

I know you can simply live on the rent income from Auckland, but I have to work.

No, I cannot.

There are family needs i.e. I have a son and daughter and I need to spend money on their education. It is not cheap for education. We just spend around nzd200 on winter/summer cloth for my son to wear in school. We would like my son to wear new cloth, not used one. I also need to sponsor my parents in law which also requires a job which can pay salary more than nz$90k per year to get tier 1 for nz family immigration. My wife does not work.

We are middle class and middle class contribute most tax percentage to nz needs and I am very proud of that. I am not saying that I am working poor. :-)

The definition of working poor largely depends on the amount of money is cost, rather than the raw income.

If say, I pay $1500 for mortgage, even if I earn $2000, that's still a poverty. By contrast someone don't need to pay rent at all.

That's why I care more about the place rather than my salary, in fact the salary won't vary so much as the housing.

According to the following house/income ratio ranking,

Perth appears unexpectedly more expensive than all the other cities (except Sydney), which is to say Melbourne is more cost-effective.

I did hear lots of people, no matter westerners or Chinese saying Melbourne the best place to live in AU.

If you enjoy the hard working, as long as you are happy, that is it.

I don't want to live in Auckland not because I need to buy a house here, but just don't want to live with the majority "earning on houses", such atmosphere feels as bad as that in Shanghai.

To be honest my parents already own a house worth around 1m in Northshore.

Having said, that's not what I care about.

Just a suggestion

You can live with your parents. This way you don't need to pay rent. You will save at least nz$300 per week. You won't be working poor any more.

By Chinese tradition, it is normal to live with your parents even at adult age.

Unlike "traditional Chinese", I don't want my parent's legacy,

I need to move to a place that suits me, and of course where I can afford to live.

Everyone knows how those elderly Chinese became rich - thanks to the housing bubble in China.

Thanks, in fact, I became enlightened a little late, otherwise I may not be in NZ.

Anyway, that may be a Yuan(Mandarin)/En(Japanese). Even in case I did successfully graduate from MIT, I may not necessarily be truly happy.  Like 6th Master Huineng used to say, he has the Yuan with the south.

Another interesting story I'm happy to share is I met Mormon missionaries last month, who aggressively encourage me to join the church. Though I've already received the valuable taught of Zen and didn't expect anything else would be more "powerful", but since never touched any Christ before, I'm curious about their theory, while they appeared kind people, finally accepted.

However they later require me to pay 10% raw income lifelong as the tithe. I thus had a debate with them, arguing about the real meaning and necessity of the 10%, ... much details ...
eventually up to their bishop lost the debate with me, what's more two young missionaries felt that I said makes sense, and happy to know about the "true rule of life" the Zen from me.

This event convinced me that the theory of Zen is to date unbeatable, and I was so lucky to know about it earlier than many others.

Even scholars writing for Scientific American praised the original Buddhism is the most scientific/rational philosophy rather than a religion (compared to chirst/islam). An report in Nov 2014 Scientific American also illustrated the medical effects of meditation analyzed using approach.

If you slightly know about any of those, you'd soon find they are more valuable than the life with a house/family and no long craving for (unfortunately none of my family members is able to understand it).
