I can agree there are more opportunities elsewhere, but ive never met a developer or similar in Aus struggling to do well, and have generally found US devs shocked by our salaries and living costs. On the other hand, if you want career advancement there's something pretty cool to the US idea of "have managed 15 people after 2 years experience" which just doesn't happen here in Aus.

As soon as we had a child, we went from "doing OK on two professional salaries" to "losing money even with a modest lifestyle." Outside Aus, we only need one income to support the family. That's a pretty amazing quality of life improvement.
