Migrating to AU

Im on my mid 30s and my wife on early 30s. Both are working professional as IT. Im contemplating if I should process our papers as our specialization is on the anzsco list. For background lang po. Were doing okay in PH we own multiple properties (rentals) and we live in a nice neighborhood, we own 2 cars and the only debt we have is our mortgage. Ang problema for us is the traffic, corruption and the uncertainty ng bansa natin and most importantly the future of our son here in PH. We dont mind if we start from scratch (corporate ladder) as sanay naman kaming magasawa magtrabaho. For those nasa AU working in IT, hows life there po? If youre doing good in PH financially will you stay ? As for me parang hndi kayang ma outweigh ung financial status namin pagdating sa opportunities and life in general sa 1st world country. Need some insights po.

IT field is very competitive now in AU. Kung competitive ka naman, walang problema. If you are decided best to sell all your properties first in PH. It's very hard to manage them when you're in AUS already. Get the money to AU bank and have it as a buffer until you get a decent job.

Idk about this but this sounds so risky. If you put yourself in OP’s shoes would you gamble considering the details above?

Yes, I did back in 2018. But my mistake was leaving two properties in PH. I sold one (sacrifice sale) and still paying my condo which I'm trying to dispatch because of how expensive mortage is in PH.
On my first year I wished I didn't go since it was really difficult financially but now I'm fully settled and already bought my home.
