I hope it works out for you.

Australia is a great place to live, and although I still get homesick (been here 5 years), I'm not in any hurry to move back to the UK - even less so after the Brexit mess.

Melbourne has some recent new arrivals in the form of Stripe, Slack, Xero and Zendesk opening up offices. It's probably a better all-round place to live and I find it more interesting, but it doesn't have any nearby nice beaches and the weather is pretty temperamental (47C in the summer, -2C in the winter)

Sydney is probably more financial companies but does have some big companies here, Atlassian, HomeAway, Freelancer and Airbnb have offices here. Get ready to pay insane rent and lots of weird rules, but the tradeoff is better climate, beaches everywhere and on a nice day, Sydney truly is a beautiful city.
