Scaled agencies to $150k MRR (Remote) - Now in Perth, AU on 491 Visa and struggling to land B2B/SaaS. Advice?

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a grind and could use some "local" perspective. I recently moved to Perth (6111 area) on a 491 Regional Skilled Migration visa (Full working rights). I have a family to support and a hard target of making $6k AUD/month.

The Background:

  • High-Ticket Closing: Spent the last few years building revenue functions for digital agencies. Scaled one from $60k to $150k MRR in 8 weeks by rebuilding their pipeline and hiring/training a team.
  • Full-Cycle Experience: Cold outreach, lead gen, and closing $5k+ deals on one-call closes. Experienced with GoHighLevel, HubSpot, and Meta Ads.
  • The Problem: 100+ applications in Perth, 0 interviews. I think I’m being seen as "overqualified" for entry-level retail/fast-food, but local B2B firms might be hesitant because my recent experience is Remote US/Pakistan.

Questions for the sub:

  1. Is the Perth SaaS scene just too small? Should I focus 100% on remote SDR/AE roles for Sydney/Melbourne companies?
  2. Would it be faster to hit $6k/month in Solar Sales or Labour Hire while I hunt for a long-term SaaS role?
  3. How do I frame "Co-Founder" and "Remote High-Ticket" experience on an Aussie CV so I don't look like a "flight risk"?

I'm hungry, I have the skills to build a revenue engine, and I’m ready to work. If anyone is hiring in WA or has advice on the pivot, I’d love to chat.
