Sydney, known as Australia's tech hub covers the majority of Australian IT job sector. However, with great demand comes competition and a higher cost of living.
On the other side, Adelaide, the charming coastal city, offers a more relaxed pace of life and a growing tech scene.
While it may not match Sydney in sheer volume, it's gaining traction as a tech destination with its affordable living costs and growing opportunities.
Lets talk numbers
1. we made a LinkedIn search to compare jobs for DevOps.
where in Sydney we have 903 job opening, in Adelaide the number is quite low as 163(number are based on the date we checked)
But this should not disappoint people in Adelaide as we only have 1300 DevOps resource in Adelaide whereas around 10000 in Sydney(could be more as it looks like LinkedIn does not show exact number if its more than 10000).
So the competition in Adelaide is way less than Sydney. and there are only 7.97 applicants per job in Adelaide to 11.07 in Sydney.
