Why do I need to work for google just to use a resource that had over 1 trillion pages indexed back in 2008.

Surely you would be stupid not to use it?... particularly if you are supposed to be an IT professional. My grandmother I could forgive

There will be more opportunities in Sydney

As most head offices of international companies are based in Sydney.

Rates in Perth will prob pay the highest. Especiall if you work for a Oil/minning company

Permie salary is excellent in Australia - worth considering if you want to settle there.

Permie salaries are excellent in Australia because the cost of living is so high.

I would really like to emmigrate to Oz, been looking into it. Not sure on the best way of going about it though having a wife, 2 kids and pets. Might be a bit of a nightmare
