Is Data Engineering in Australia a Top Career Path for Skilled Migrants?

I’m exploring Data Engineering roles in Australia as a skilled migrant. Data Engineers build and maintain data systems that drive decision-making. They need strong skills in Python, SQL, ETL, cloud platforms and tools like Hadoop or Spark. For migration, you’ll need a skills assessment and evidence that your qualifications meet Australian standards. From what I’ve seen, this role offers high demand, great salaries, PR pathways and growth into senior positions. For those with experience: Is Data Engineering stable long term? How healthy is the job market now? Does salary growth outpace other IT roles? Would you recommend it for someone migrating in the next 1–2 years?
