I don't know why folks out here are being negative about the IT job market in OZ. I received 3 job offers from overseas (India) from employers based in Sydney and Melbourne.
The market seems to be really very positive and the pay rates are also quite good.
I got two daily rate contract offers for AUD 650 per day + superannuation and one fixed term contract offer for about AUD 100,000 + superannuation.
I guess what the people here on this forum are missing, is getting the cv right in such a way that it should get the utmost attention of the employers just by reading a few lines.
I have not even planned my move to OZ yet, although I have got my PR visa last month. I will be landing in OZ next month and will hopefully take up one of the job offers.
I have asked the Aussie employers to give me atleast a months time to arrange for my travel and come down to OZ, to which they have happliy agreed. Also I still have to give notice to my current employer here in India.
Hence I wud suggest to all of you out here on this forum tht plz don't hold back your plans to move to OZ. The market is great.
