My story is very similar to yours. Used to be ok with remote work but then I had a break up last year and need to get back to the office. Unfortunately all the tech jobs are in other cities of Australia so I can only get remote jobs.

Made the decision this month to pack up everything and move to Melbourne so I can work in the office among other things.

Welcome. Plenty of 3 day in the office and even 5 day in the office tech jobs here.

Also great cafes you can work from on the remote work days.

PT and urban sprawl sucks though, which is why I did the opposite and work remotely 100% now.

I'm from Adelaide. PT is effectively non existent and urban sprawl is worse. Melbourne is like a utopian society to me. I'm quite happy to live in an apartment near the CBD and take the train in. It blows my mind they come every 5 minutes, I'm used to trains coming every 30 minutes or just not running at all half the time.
