Thanks for the info it's much appreciated.

Hi

Could anyone help me. I am looking to relocate to Perth so that we can keep my step son settled and need to know an indication on market salaries. She will not be working and I am a recruitment manager / headhunter with 8 years experience in IT and sales recruitment. I am currently earning £100,000 a year aprox but have too an expensive life style in the uk and want to leave these trappings.

What sort of package should I be pitching myself in at? and will I have a good quality of life supporting a family of four in Perth?

Thanks everyone

We have been in Oz for nearly 7 years, and have enjoyed the booming markets.

My husband is a Motor Mechanic (self employed with 2 staff) we earn approx $100k per year.

My brother has been here 3 years and started his own building gang, now has 7 guys and work for +++++ more he can earn in excess of $10k per week after paying wages!!!!

The boom times are really here in Perth

[QUOTE=Rob Morton-Jone]I am a manager of an engineering company on the Gold Coast. I work from 7 till 3, Monday to Thursday and 7 till 1 on a Friday and my yearly salary is $60,000 plus i get 10% of the profits at the end of each tax year and i also get 5 weeks holiday per year. Not bad for starters i suppose

Trish my wife is a lady of leisure now which is well deserved.

Hope that helps


Hi Rob my husband is an experienced welder/fabricator and is looking for work in Aus. Where does he start and any chance of a work permit? Is there a website where all job postings for engineering can be found?
Thanks for you help
Barb

skipped a few pages in the middle , so hope i dont step on anyones toes and repeat a question. Any idea what a senior sous chef (my husband) earns? We aim to go to either brisbane or the gold coast. Also i'm in admin but dont really mind what i do, something part-time hopefully, so as to spend more quality time with the kids.

Cheers!
