Hello everyone,
My fiance and I are looking into moving to Melbourne. We are hesitating because of the housing prices and the job market. Could you tell me how the job market currently is for developers? I put my husbands details below because I know that there is a lot of difference between jobs (and I am an IT dummie ). Are all the available jobs in the CBD? Is it doable to live in a cheaper (but nice) suburb further away without having to commute for more than an hour?
