I got an offer from amazon Seattle. Wife is in the interview loop for Microsoft Seattle. We also got Australia PR, 6 months back(We are in the USA). Australia's job market seems bad for SWE. I feel sad to give away Australian PR(We do like Australia. USA green card may never happen ). Both Amazon and Microsoft don't have many jobs in Australia. what to do? Any suggestions are welcome. TC: 200k
AWS Sydney
Very few openings and those are mostly solution architect /sales. TC caps by $180 k and very high cost of living.
180 AUD or USD?
Get your PR stamped. You get 5 years isn't it? Apply Resident Return Visa when you decide to come back? Not a immigration lawyer though Also, 180 TC cap? Is that just the base cap or RSUs included?
We visited Australia. There is no stamp but we believe now we have 4.5 years more. That’s all. Only sales roles
PR gets revoked if OP doesn't move. I don't know exact years but after getting PR you need to physically move there to maintain it
I would’ve recommended to go if it is Canada PR to gain presence and so you can be eligible for extension. Aus PR. You can leave it
Had a friend who left bay and went there. He is enjoying his time there ( except recent fire). He works for MS and has almost equivalent TC for Seattle. Wife got a good paying IT university job for one of the largest university. No renewal headaches and bit cheaper COL
Good for him. MS website don’t have any openings in Australia for SWE . I wish I know him to ask more questions
Better stick with Aussie and get that PR g
Maybe keep it for now. Who knows if something opens up in the future in Australia
