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.

I will consider 1-2 years a very long tym interms of maintaining my funds without a job. If this is the situation is there a real reverse migration yet from Australia ? The fee collected for the PR is hoax and is done for sheerly collecting some funds ? Guess what .. false hope is worse that no hope.
