IT Market in Perth - advice needed

[rucati]

I'm considering a move west away from the busy-busy, expensive-expensive life in Sydney.

How is the IT job market in Perth? I have 18 years industry experience in both technical and managerial roles, mostly in financial services. I'm open to long term contract or permanent.

I've been on Seek looking and it certainly comes behind Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane (in that order) in terms of number of jobs available.

- Is IT a growth market at the minute in Perth?
- Are there many IT jobs in the mining industry? - are they usually city based? do you need prior mining experience?
- Is the contract market bouyant?

Look forward to your replies.

Hi Rucati
It may be worth asking on the sister forum www.perthpoms.com this is where the locals hang out and they would be in a better position to advise.
