I chose Melb over Syd because:
- Mas laid back ang buhay sa Melb (I think)
- Mas lower ang cost ng property sa Melb (just in case mag-settle down for good sa state na ito)
- Mas lower ang cost of living sa Melb
- Most of my friends are in Melb
Having said the above, Sydney:
- Being a much bigger state, means you have lots of places to go to.
- The Sunshine State of Queensland is closer (as compared to Melb -> QLD)
- Has a lot of nice and popular beaches
- Is probably more vibrant than Melb
- Has higher cost of living, and thus, higher salary (to compensate for that)
- Mas mahal ang property sa Syd
I probably missed a few salient points but yan lang pumapasok sa isip ko ngayon. :-??

Based on what I've seen for the past few months, marami-rami ding IT Infra roles dito sa Melb. I know of some friends na nakakuha ng IT Infra related jobs dito sa Melb nitong past few months - hindi exactly same as their role or specialty nung nasa Singapore sila, but as long as you're flexible enough then you should be fine, I think. That's what I was told by a friend din when I moved here. Been here for almost a year na and I can tell you that that is quite a misconception. Can't generalize Western Suburbs as "medyo magulo". Sure, some Western suburbs have made a (negative) mark like Sunshine West but the same can be said din naman sa East. Take Dandenong for example. :-?

Yung ilang opening din na nakita na tugma sana sa akin, kelangan ng NV clearance -- which is AFAIK, only citizens can obtain.
