Nobody’s going to make it easy for you.
Grind for the goal, or sit still and wonder why nothing changes.
Both are bloody hard. Pick the one that gets you somewhere.

My hot take as a founder...

Here’s something most Kiwi welders don’t know.

In Australia, the same welds you’re laying down right now pay way more.

In New Zealand? You’re leaving money on the table every single week.

Let me show you what that actually means:

Average fabricator salary: in Aus it’s $85K–$105K AUD. That’s $106K–$130K in Kiwi dollars. In NZ, $65K–$75K.

Hourly: $50–$56 NZD in Aus. NZ, $30–$40.
Boilermakers: $124K–$149K NZD in Aus. NZ, $75K–$85K.
Pilbara boilermakers: up to $228K NZD in Aus. NZ, not even close.
Minimum wage: $32.85 NZD in Aus. NZ, $23.95.

Even the basics: in Aus your overtime and weekend rates are set by the award. In NZ, it’s whatever your boss wrote in your agreement.

And super: 12% in Aus vs 3.5% here. On an average Aussie fabricator wage, that’s around $14K NZD a year going into your name, whether you see it or not.

This is the bit that matters: same skills, same tickets, same welds. The only thing that changes is which side of the ditch you’re welding on.
