Hello mate

 

I own a Oracle Partner in Brisbane that covers AUS wide.

 

I would avoid perth from a software point of view very difficult market and too far to cover the three main locations of Brisbane, Sydney and melbs.

 

The market here from a reseller point of view is very different from the uk and that brings its own positives and negatives.

 

I would avoid Microsoft licensing all together personally as there isnt enough margin in it to make a living and there is lots more competition.

 

As said if you have the necessary sales skills and you understand Oracle and Microsoft i could be interested but I wouldn't hire without the Oracle or sales knowledge.

 

Either way good luck

Thats some great advice thank you for taking the time to reply, I will start looking at expected salaries etc. now that I have a better idea of the software market.

Again thank you very much

If that comes off and your looking at moving to Brisbane give me a shout if your oracle licensing knowledge is upto scratch and your sales savvy I may have a role for you

Hi Hoffer, Thats great news and will give me something to work towards now if I know there is a market for Licensing Specialists :smile: Can I ask what field you work in?

Jo1057 do you have any experience with Oracle Licensing?

Hoffer, I don't have any Oracle experience at the moment but from July I will also be doing Oracle, Symantec, VM Ware and Citrix so will have approx 12-18 months experience by the time I am looking to move to Australia.

Hello, Me and my partner are looking to move to Australia (hopefully Perth) in the next 12-18months and I am just trying to get a feel for the jobs market. I have worked for a large IT Reseller in the UK for the last 9 years and am currently working as a Microsoft Licensing Operations Specialist having completed my Microsoft certifications. I am also considering doing a Business Analysis Diploma. After looking at a few job sites there seem to be quite a few job opportunites for ICT Business Analysists but looking at the immi.gov.au I have seen that they are now limiting the number of Skilled Worker Visas issued for this particular role. Does anyone have any experience in this field and if so are there still opportunities?

Would appreciate any local knowledge you have to offer
