Thinking of moving to Australia or England (I have family in both places and can work there legally). I’m a software developer and I’m trying to decide if I should stay in consulting or go to industry and work somewhere like google etc or maybe a start up (haven’t decided). Tech companies outside of the US pay less than the US (I think). What is better long term career wise and $$ wise, to stay in consulting or go to a tech company? (Based on living in either one of those countries).

London has great opportunities, however Australia will pay better and have better WLB

Can’t comment on the living conditions or job opportunities in these countries but if you are keen on sales,pursuing the partner path then stay in consulting else it’s not worth it..industry has better WLB and pays well especially for tech..

London

Just to clarify the main question is it better to stay in consulting or go to industry as a software developer based on living out of either of those countries?
