Hi everyone,

I’m looking for genuine advice from people who have been through this, especially anyone who has recently obtained PR through an IT pathway in Australia.

A little about me:

I’m currently doing my Master’s in IT and have been in Australia for about 4 months.
I have previous experience as a Laravel/PHP developer in Nepal.
I currently have a part-time job, so I’m managing financially.
My dependent is still in Nepal and will join me once we complete the process.

My goal is simple: I want to build a career in IT and eventually get PR. I genuinely don’t want to leave IT because I enjoy software development and have already invested years into it.

At the same time, I want to be realistic. If IT is still a viable pathway, I’m ready to give it my absolute best over the next 6 months. I’ll learn a new tech stack if needed, build projects, improve my communication skills, network, and keep applying for internships and graduate roles. I’ve already started applying but haven’t had much success yet.

I’m not looking for shortcuts or blaming Australia if I don’t succeed. I know opportunities exist, and I believe success requires hard work. I just want to make sure I’m putting my effort into the right pathway from the beginning instead of realizing years later that I should have taken a different direction.

I’d really appreciate your honest advice:

1. ⁠Has anyone recently received PR through an IT. occupation? What pathway did you take?
2. ⁠Is IT still a realistic option for international students aiming for PR?
3. ⁠Which IT fields are currently in the highest demand?
4. ⁠Should I continue with Laravel/PHP or move towards another stack such as Java, .NET, Python, Cloud, DevOps, Cybersecurity, AI, or Data?
5. ⁠How are international students actually getting their first IT job in Australia?

If you were in my position today, what would your roadmap for the next 6 months look like?
At what point would you consider changing careers if PR was the main goal?

Is there anything my partner and I should start planning now that could improve our chances of getting PR in the future?

I’d really appreciate honest advice, whether it’s encouraging or difficult to hear. I’d rather understand the reality now and make informed decisions than regret not asking later.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any guidance, personal experiences, or practical suggestions would mean a lot.
