Hi. I'm thinking about moving from Europe to Sydney. I'm working with Drupal since 2006 so I consider myself a Senior Drupal Developer. What is the average salary for such position(don't point me to the drupal jobs group)? And which are the top Drupal companies in Sydeny?

Sydney Drupal wages
Hi Ivan. Anywhere from $70 to $90 for a senior. Experience building custom modules really helps, as does strong JS. Ability to manage/mentor junior team members also helps push the rate up. If you'd like more specific info let me know, and at the moment there is a strong demand for Drupal devs in Sydney.
Thanks. That's good news. I'm
Thanks. That's good news. I'm just gathering information now. I need to handle some things first so I'll be seriousely thinking about it in a year or so.
By the way how's the sponsored visa situation in Sydney? Do companies do this often?
Sponsoring
The tricky part is the first time round - i.e. becoming a sponsor. Once a company has gone through those hoops and sponsored one person then subsequent sponsorships are easy pending the applicant passing the relevant checks. Sponsorship is not uncommon but it does make things harder when job hunting due to the time to get everything to approve, especially if the hiring company is in a hurry.
And with my $70 - $90 range above that would be for contract rates be hour, not permanent salary rates. Depending on your visa situation you may not be eligible to work as a contractor or there may be restrictions based on the type of visa.
