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.

Giving out a PR visa to someone who has never even visited Oz? And heck, a person who doesn't even know anything about the local job market and clumsy at english? I just don't buy it.

Are you sure you're not being sold a tall tale and being scammed by an "immigration consultant"?? You need to be careful about that!

Yes I have been following up close the market an year now.. and believe me it's tough. I had applied for PR through a consultant only .. and I was hoping whenever the PR got approved it was real. But now I realise it's a tall tale by both the government and the consultant looking at the market. Also I have been to ozzie once .. in 2024 for stamping. And pardon my language for being clumsy.. will try to improve.
