New job
 

Start next Tuesday. Got it quite quickly actually. Out of the blue.

Salary AUS120,000k for an IT job. My point - even for cowboys :rolleyes: like me there are jobs out there which pay well. It's not all doom and gloom. Stick with it all you IT newbies.

It will not necessarily be great - but it's money in the bank. Once you get your first job in Melly - and some references - it gets easier. Take care.

Makes my $40,000 look like pocket money. :(

Re: New job
 

Congrats Badge.

You earn 4 times what I do, lol :D :scared: Oh well, you pay more tax too :p :D

Re: New job
 

Congrats! :)

Re: New job
 

Thankyou!
I never hope for a good bunch - I go to work to provide a service. At those rates, you almost don't care how 'nice' people are(!) My wife is pregnant so I want her to not have to work for as long as the kid is at home. As it happens, my new manager seems OK - we seem to get a good understanding going - you know how you can judge someones' character?; well this guy seems like a listener and hands-off in style.

Re: New job
 

indeed. Next time you bulk bill, think of me. lol. I'm working on the tax bizo at the moment. My view is that x amount of y is better than nothing. I could spend money on accountants and own companies but then have to pay public liability. I don't want to do something that gets me a big bill by mistake. Don't hold your breath. ;)

Re: New job
 

Congratulations on the new job.

What line of I.T. are you in ?

I'm a System Developer (mainframe cobol, DB2, CICS, etc) planning on going to Australia early next year.

Re: New job
 

Hope you're heading to Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra because there's not a lot in that line, anywhere else.

Re: New job
 

Gutted! :( I've just accepted a job at $95,000 in Sydney - Hope I can afford to live there now.
Then again i will be getting a WAFHLA too so hopefully that will make things better ;)

Re: New job
 

Yes I've heard that. I'm actually considering taking a break from I.T. in Australia. Its a very tough job market for mainframe system developers in England (lots and lots of jobs have been offshored to India) and I expect it to be even worse for someone emigrating to Austalia ... so I think I'll try something new.
