Considering to transfer to Aus Campus

Hey Guys!
I am an International Masters in AI student at MUM. Right now i am in a bit of stress regarding if i should transfer to Aus campus or not.
I need your advices, pls😭

I’ll list the pros and cons from my POV
MUM:
Pros-
Manageable fees,
Affordable Living Expenses,
Same Degree

Cons-
Fucked up working laws for Internationals,
No part time job allowed

MU Aus:
Pros:
Better Faculty Maybe?
Australian Industry Exposure
Chance of Highpaying Employment
Part time jobs allowed
Higher Salaries

Cons:
Have to take loan for this
Expensive as hell living expenses
Unsure abt the actual working conditions for internationals

Please advise me if i should take this move or not!

Hey guys!

I am a Masters in AI student, currently residing in Malaysia as an international student.

I need a help from you guys, the problem is it’s illegal to work in Malaysia during semesters, i only get to work in long sem breaks as an international student.

However there’s one loophole, if i get to work for a foreign company on remote basis i am allowed to work.

But now there’s another problem, since i am a student and companies wont hire me for a full time remote role, and also internships are mostly onsite and restricted to the residing country.

I am constantly looking out for jobs or internships as there are only 4 hrs of lecture per day and 4 days a week. So i have ample of time.

But since so many restrictions i am not getting an opportunity to work on my practical knowledge.

I would be glad if you guys suggest me some websites or companies that are hiring for remote interns. Even an open source contribution might work. I am not looking for earning opportunity but would be glad if it pays.

I have a year of experience as an AI Engineer.

ALSO IF YOU CANT RECALL ANY SUCH OPPORTUNITY, I WOULD BE GLAD IF YOU CAN SUGGEST BE SOME GOOD PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE GOOD ON RESUME AND MIGHT HELP ME IN FUTURE.

Thanks!

I have been thinking abt transferring my MS AI course to Clayton campus, as i believe i can work part time in Australia as an international student which is very unlikely to do legally in Malaysia. And also i can apply for skill based visa after my grad ends.

Can someone give some insights if you have transferred?

How easy or hard it is?

Is it really worth it (considering the job market)?

Do you really get part time jobs while studying?

If yes how much pay it is? Like is it sustainable or now?
