Couldn't agree more. As an Aussie now living in NZ, I love it here....

I'll go home one day, but I'm just not yet ready!!!

Besides, I'm having too much fun distributing Virtualization tools to Aus/NZ from Auckland.

what tools ?

esXpress - VMware Backup with NO VCB's
ToutVirtual - VirtualIQ, ProvisionIQ, ShieldIQ and AssetIQ (for VMware, Xenserver and Microsoft)
Insystek - Totalview Suite (for VMware, Xenserver and Microsoft)
Virtugo Virtualsuite

Just in the process of updating the website. It can be viewed here : http://www.optimati.com/webtest

Hi Stav,

Those skills should help you to gain employment here in NZ.

One thing to note is that many Kiwi companies have issues hiring staff that have 'No Kiwi work experience'. It's a load of toddle really, and what they are trying to tell you is that as an immigrant, they want to pay you less....

A reputable firm will snap you up if your credentials match their requirements. Some companies to approach in Auckland would be :

IBM
Axon
Gen-i
Softsource
Eagle Technologies
Vient
ViFX

Those are probably the bigger p_layer_s in the Virtualization space.

Cheers, and good luck with your move.

are you just looking at NZ or Aus as well ?
