Hi Lorenzo, Most on-site Ruby / Rails roles are in Sydney and Melbourne so I’d recommend starting your search there. The size of the Ruby market is similar in each city, so career wise you should be fine in either.
More importantly, spend time figuring out which city you’d enjoy *living* in more. Read up, speak to people who live in each city and spend time exploring.
