Hello Riten, I won't blabber about myself too much- I will be as concise as I can. I am a Technology/Management Consultant for a Tier 1 US-based consulting company. The type of work I do allows me to travel a lot. So, when I first came to Oz I could immediately feel the cosmopolitan vibe of Melbourne, but didn't quite feel at home (as in the US)- the accent is different, they drive on the left side, etc. But, that lasted only until I made some really nice friends and gotten to know the system better. For me this was rather an easy transition because I've spent a lot of time in the US (grew up there), and except for those couple of things I mentioned earlier the environment is pretty much the same. The lifestyle here is really laid back (albeit in Consulting the hours are as long). I am not sure which sector you work in, or what academic qualification(s) you have. Getting a job here really boils down to your experience and education. They also have a very strict, but a reasonably open immigration policy- that is if you qualify under a point system then you can migrate. Essentially, you will need to think about how you will qualify for this if your end goal is to find a job here. This might help- http://www.immi.gov.au/ Having lived in different parts of the US I can tell you that if you've been in the US for some time (5+ yrs) and have a US degree (more top tier the merrier) you will fit right in. Otherwise, you could apply as a student. Let us know how you go. -JB
