Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but it seemed like the main companies in Sydney were Atlassian, Google and banks. And SF/NYC is exactly what I'm comparing it

And SF/NYC is exactly what I'm comparing it to. I mean, I live in NYC now and don't have any real desire to move back.
Definitely interested in hearing about your experience though, what's the most interesting software stuff going on in Australia?
- madeofpalk 9y agoI previously worked at Nine (their digital arm, formally known as Mi9) building their VOD platforms which was an amazing experience of great project with great developers and designers. Made friends there for life. Now, I'm at an airline (well, at a digital agency who are at an airline) working on their new inflight wifi product. It's pretty interesting, talking to all sorts of APIs onboard the plane, super optimising the site so its still fast to run over a satellite connection. Yeah, Sydney isn't San Francisco - that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Jobs still exists, but most of them are in stable companies. If you want that 'startup life', go move to SF.
