Hi Everybody,
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I wasn't sure what category it fits under.
With the European Migration Crisis in full swing I was thinking of emigrating from Australia to England. I'm currently collecting the documents to get an Ancestry Visa (Scottish Granddad, do I need to start drinking IRN BRU?) so at the moment I'm really after a sanity check as well as info and opinions.
The mining boom in Oz is well and truly over and a proper recession overdue escaping Oz seems like a good idea. I've been told by a lot of people that the IT industry in the UK is picking up, especially in Manchester and Glasgow.
My contract is set to end sometime next year and there's no chance of an extension beyond that (they're outsourcing the IT dept) so I'll be looking for a new job anyway. Something I'm dreading with the current job market and the AUD dropping, Australia is already expensive to live in and now the dollar isn't buying as much as it used to.
Also money wont be an issue in the short term. I'll have at least 15K AUD saved by January before I sell my car ($12K hopefully).
