I am busy trying to make the tough decision of when to move across. We are planning for my wife and kids to go over on 29 December. We are just not sure if I should go at the same time or if I should go a bit earlier, like +- 7 November. If I go earlier I will return for Christmas with the family and then join my wife and kids on a flight to Sydney on the 29th of December.
Friends of ours in Sydney offered that we could stay with them for a month, but a full month might be a tight squeeze for 4 adults and 5 kids in 1 house.
Pro's and cons:
Leave alone November:
Less of a burden and less crowded in the house
More employment opportunities than in January
Get a rental for January
All leave together January:
Save an additional R50 000 being employed slightly longer in SA (This would be absorbed quickly if I don't find a job in January)
So basically my choice will be made based on chances of quick employment. What do you all think, will I have a better chance landing a job within 1 month if I arrive 7 November vs trying to land a job in 1 month arriving 29 December considering the holiday period?
