If salary is very important for you,I would advise you to stay back and gain some experience in such field as oil and gas,construction etc.With about 4-5 years of experience you can get something equivalent or better than your australian salary.In my opinion this is the most logical step.As a fresher you are no different form tons of indian and philipino engineers easily available here.

You might end up getting frustrated, because your upbringing has made you think before the start of a job about money not experience and career. But since your parents could afford you education in Australia, then they should be influential enough to get a good salary too.

If you would come to me than I 'll hire you only for not having an indian visa. Salary will be around Qr. 3500/-

I think gene has given you the feel of being fresh to a job world.

Basically im asking, does having the passport affect the initial salary? Ofcourse there will be interviews and such ...

First of all, no company will hire you without undergoing a battery of examinations or even just an interview, so how could you ask the question when you have not proven anything yet.

A hot candidate will not always turn out to be a hot employee and unless of course you know a powerful person who can just command HIRE THIS PERSON AT THIS SALARY.
