Bobby Jindal Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hi All, I am a senior software engineer with 10+ years experience on .net framework currently based in London. I have been granted a partner visa and planning to make the move in August. I wanted to know what is the state of IT job market in Melbourne? Are there still a lot of jobs available? I am planning to start applying for jobs from here in June on LinkedIn. Are there any other job boards I should use? What is the average salary with my experience should I be expecting? Any other advice you might have will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Bobby. You might want to try Thales, used to be Australian Defence Industries but got taken over a few years back by what was Tompson, now Thales, a multi national French company. The Melbourne office does air traffic control and has won the onesky contract, merging commercial and military air traffic control. You can google the project. I know they were struggling to recruit software guys last year, they tried to get people from Perth but hardly anyone would relocate, even for extra money.

Bobby Jindal Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi @Paul1Perth Thank you for letting me know. This sounds like an interesting project requiring specialized expertise. Normally in these government and security based projects they require security clearance which is only awarded to citizens. Hope this is not the case with them I will have a look at their job boards.

I had it in the UK so mine came through really quickly here. That was 20 years ago mind you. You have to be interviewed every couple of years to keep it current too. If Thales like your quals though they sort it out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
