Job change after PR application

Post by pelangi » Thu, 21 Mar 2024 4:45 pm

Hello.

I applied for PR last August and am considering changing my job.

My profile is the below.
* Chinese
* Mid 40s
* Married with 2 young children
* Financial IT consultant
* Monthly base 10k+

I have been with my current employer for about 4 years and considering 1) move to another IT consultacy, 2) move to a bank (likely one of the 3 locals).
Would either of them increase my chances of being approved? If so, what is the ideal salary hike that I should aim for? In case I move to a bank, would the higher median salary of financial services drag down my desirability as a PR?

Many thanks!

If the new position and salary are higher than your current (may be if you go around 14k+), it will be an additional plus.

But at a high level I see your age and current monthly salary may be slight disadvantage to you.
