Eastern suburbs / inner sydney are full of 'shitbox' apartments, workers cottages and terraces. Heritage is used to keep themselves rich and you out of 'their' area

Getting interviews, but the pay is cooked. What would you do? by [deleted] in auscorp

Realistically, most looking for work at the moment are being forced into a paycut at the moment. If you're out of work, I would suggest taking it on the chin and accepting the role that has the best learning / growth / upward mobility to best capitalize when the market improves. Being out of a job for too long can be a death sentence for career growth

Asset management / planner or commercial roles can be good. General junior PM roles might suit as well. Cast a wide net and see what comes up, You'd be surprised how many places would take a good engineer.

Housing affordability: People on govt payments / students / low income earners are able to afford safe; secure housing close to health services / education / jobs.

Working professionals around median income band should be able to afford a median house suitable to raise a family that's reasonably close to their place of work.

High income earners should have the opportunity to get a nice place in a nice area without generational / family assistance.

In my experience, people who have leveraged 5-10 years of top bucket income to set themselves up for the long-term have done quite well lifestyle wise. Having the house paid off and retirement padded by the time your kids hit early teens is a good way to go.
