Our green list roles are a bit limited honestly, my partner does data engineering which isn’t covered in the list. She ended up studying and applying for a Post Study Work Visa. It requires you to complete a degree in NZ and then you can have up to three years to work and aim for residency. We have one year master degrees, this is what my partner has done. Perhaps you could even complete your PhD here, I don’t know what that process would look like though.
But… our international student fees are expensive.
Yeah, international fees are super expensive. As someone that has almost always received free education it scares me a lot. Funnily that’s still cheaper than paying US universities.
I’m almost done with my PhD so changing the lab would be more trouble than worth it. If it was allowed I could move and finish PhD remotely in 6-8 months, but I kind of need PhD for immigration points (no work experience in last 5 years). A post doc that pays well would be ideal. But I’m open to industry jobs as well.
Luckily my degree is in the green list for now. I heard they change it based on their demands.
No worries.
