Can anyone say that, what is the demand for oracle/BI developers and Java developers in Auckland or Wellington please?
Check Seek.co.nz or Trademe.co.nz (Jobs)
Beware : There are duplicates/triplicates entry by multiple recruiters for same job, so count of job is not a very accurate measurement of demand.
Secondly which bank would more user friendly there in NZ?
I used ANZ bank , opened account from India and used Thomas cook to trasnfer funds from India to NZ before arrival.
They are good and give you ATM card the day you arrive at Bank with your Passport and activate your account.
Others had similar experience with BNZ bank,and Kiwi Bank...so check the threads and decide yiourself.
How about getting a new mobile connection? Is there something like SSN and credit history over there like US?
Pre-paid, pay and get it no questions asked no document or ID proof required.
You can buy it at any shop or at airport.
Plan connections does have credit check, I had no issue and got a plan WIRELESS land line connection by Vodafone the same day .
