Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

Hi guys planning to move to aus in feb and wondering if i should go to brisbane or melbourne. coming with dad aged 67 and daughter aged 4y. pls let me know your recommendations :thumbsup:

<edit>

looking for a peaceful life with daughter and dad. good education for her. warm climate. (i mean prefer the one with the warmer one) . as for jobs i am in to oracle, but willing to do anything that will help me to manage my family. parks, beaches would be nice. i am not in to night life, so that wouldnt matter.

It rains loads in Brisbane. Go to Melbourne. ;)

Not a good start for your motorcycle adventure in Brissy with all this rain mate :thumbdown:

To the OP, I think you need to give them more info as to what you are after like, if you prefer beaches, culture, less humidity but colder winter or vice versa, type of work, etc.

Cheers

yes you are right :thumbsup: thanks mate

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

Hasn't rained for two days.


Good advice from biker. :thumbup:

I think there will be more Oracle jobs in Melbourne. Brisbane is warmer though. Brisbane is quiet, so it would tick that box. I think Melbourne is probably a little busier but not crazy like Sydney.

I did a search in Seek.com for Oracle.

Brisbane 550 jobs
Melbourne 1585 jobs.

Obviously this was a generic search for Oracle.

What's the accommodation problem?

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

in brisbane i have a friend who could help me find a place to stay... but in melb.. i only have my ex... and no i dont think i should depend on him to find one for us :blink:

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

I think if you are looking for a more relaxed pace of life then Brisbane is just that. That goes part and parcel with a smaller choice of jobs. What type of Oracle jobs are you looking for?

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

Shame you can't search for number of applicants as well....would be great to be able to tell which place had more jobs vs people going for them as this matters far more than just raw number of jobs available.

i am a developer for oracle e business suite actually :huh:.. sql, pl/sql, xml, d2k , report developer..

Re: Melbourne or Brisbane ??
 

Melbourne is no different...it comes down entirely to which part of the city you choose to live in.

In my experience, work life for an IT person in the 2 cities is virtually the same, Brisbane is no more laid back. And Melbourne's suburbs are no less relaxed than Brisbane's...but also with so much more on offer in the city itself.

Getting around Melbourne is easier (and more relaxed then I guess). Brisbane's traffic is horrendous at times.

Climate might be the deal breaker, if warm all year round is required, go to Qld.
