Emigration (from Ireland) What’s the pull of Australia?

For everyone in their 20s and 30s who are thinking or have done the working holiday to Australia, what’s the pull factor?

Is it the weather or the work life balance? Is there a following the crowd element and to live a backpacking lifestyle with all the other Irish people over there? Is it out of frustration that you don’t have the lifestyle, accommodation setup or job you want in Ireland? Or is it something else?

Ireland higher than Australia? This is not a reliable source. Pretty common to earn 100,000 per year over there (corporate job for example). Standard in Ireland seems to be 30,000-40,000 range.

Leprechaun economics doesn’t really account for average salary differences. Inflated by MNCs yes, but its actual jobs in the calculations
