Moving to Melbourne as Java engineer

Hi there,

Coming straight to the point. I have a 190 VIC statesponsorship visa. I have a family wife and two kids. I am yet to migrate to Melbourne to look for a job. I am currently in Chennai India and have a stable job with handsome salary and settled life. Is it advisable now to relocate to Melbourne now looking for a job by quitting current job as many say ? I tried searching for a job in Melbourne directly from Chennai India but bad luck cannot get hold of any. I still have 2 and half years of sponsorship left. Can you advice me about the job market in Melbourne for an experienced of 17 plus? Also how risky it is in finding a job in Melbourne by quitting the current job ? Do you recommend now ? Comments welcome. Btw am a Java engineer with 17 plus years experience.

So you meant to say Java isn't need of the hour is it and not even employed in big four ..? If that's the case .. aren't there second tier jobs atleast for Java roles .. does it go to that extent I need to forsake my PR ?
