Australia - I think the weather is more tolerable (what I meant is the coldness), the migration process is better and faster based on my research before. It means that I can predict my next 5 years better here
Dubai - There is no such thing as permanent resident here, once you lose your job, you got to find another one in 30 days.
USA - I think this is a great place to live since we have a lot of similarities when it comes to culture but the chances of professional landing a job in USA is scarce since they have a lot of professional in their own country. If in case you did, next problem would be the residency which is not that easy as well.

Australia --> agree
USA --> I think IT peeps have a better chance of landing a job in USA, but I prefer the culture in AU. USA is more materialistic while AU emphasizes health and family. Just my 2 cents.
