🚀 Tech Stack Trends in Australia 2025 Here’s what I've been seeing the most so far this year Frontend - React continues to dominate. Next.js is quickly becoming the default for full-stack apps. Backend - Node.js, Go, and Python are all heavily used, however, I'm finding a lot of businesses wanting more Python developers right now. Databases - PostgreSQL is the go-to to but MongoDB and DynamoDB are also common. Cloud & DevOps - AWS is the most widely used. Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless frameworks are also now standard. What does your current stack look like compared to this? Am I on the money?

Australian mortgage brokers. Email is a very inefficient way to collect documents. You know this. - Yet here's your VA in another email thread: - Sending reminder emails. - Checking if files came through. - Following up again. - And again. Chasing documents doesn't make you money. That's not growing your business. That's just necessary noise. Document collection needs a person. But that person should be overseeing it. Not doing the heavy lifting. Free up your VA for the work that actually matters. -------------------- I'm Guy. I've built a document collection tool for Australian mortgage brokers with Farzan M.. It streamlines your doc collection process if you're using Salestrekker as your CRM and want to scale. #mortgagebroker #homeloans #brokertools

Why it’s a great time to be a junior in tech 💻⬆️ Let’s talk software salaries. A lot of grads and juniors ask: “Is it really worth getting into tech right now?” Here’s what the numbers say👇 Across the major Aussie cities (Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra), juniors starting out in dev roles (e.g. Front End, Back End, Full Stack, Mobile, Test) typically earn $75K–$100K as a base. That’s straight out of uni or after a bootcamp! But here’s the real kicker 👇 Within 3–5 years, your salary can rise dramatically: Mid-Level Devs: $130K–$160K Senior/Lead Devs: $160K–$200K+ Architects, Managers, Principals: $200K–$250K+ In some cases, that’s a 100% increase in earnings in just a few years. 🧠💰 The tech industry rewards fast learners, problem-solvers, and people who keep building. Even in a market that’s had a few bumps, good juniors grow fast—and they’re in high demand. So if you’re just starting your career in tech, keep going. You're in one of the few industries where your skills grow faster than your age, and your pay can double before 30, or within a few years. #TechCareers #GraduateJobs #JuniorDevelopers #SoftwareEngineering #FutureOfWork #2DoorsRecruitment
