Is Australia a good place to start a career in tech? Moreover, is there demand for talent from outside of the country or is it already saturated? I read that there’s a significant shortfall in tech workers and an estimated need for at least 286,000 new tech professionals by the end of the year. How many of you would say that's true?

I wouldn’t choose Australia for tech. It mainly needs people to manage and secure [dated] systems. Local universities are churning out foreign tech talent, but companies do not want to sponsor them. (There’s a lot of foreign grads looking for jobs in this bowl.)

I'd say you read right. Australia’s tech industry is growing so so rapidly. In 2025, the market is projected to expand by 8.7%, with total IT spending reaching over A$146 billion. The software sector alone is growing 13.4% year-over-year. So it's a good time to step in if that something you're trying to do.

It depends upon your experience and skill set. There is a demand for talented professionals with a solid experience however due to recent immigration policies there are many people available locally as well and hence it depends....
