Big4 audit folks in Australia, would you mind sharing your busy season months and the hours you work during busy season and non busy season? Currently working at Deloitte US audit and want to relocate to Australia. Thanks!

Non-Auditor but I worked with them before. Busy between Jan-Mar and Jun-Sep due to half year reporting season.

Used to work in kpmg audit, busy season experience varies by project but overall I rarely work pass 8pm and have only done 2-3 weekends in my short ~3 years/5 peak seasons of audit career.

My ex US audit manager said hours are much better here but salary is substantially lower. Would recommend doing a secondment to keep your pay from US until you absolutely need to convert to AU.

Honest input request. Recent company role overhaul & total comp package revamp, cutting my 6 figures made last year down by 30k, and they added in support calls + prospecting + team lead. Pay day saw a 2.5k take home drop This month. This helped low performing staff increase their income, and pulled top performing folks like me into the red. Do I have any negotiation points here? Each year I’ve been here earned 23-50% more per year. Other than jumping ship, what are my options?

How would you all recommend dealing with this if I am trying to leave as soon as possible?

I moved to a start up with very few women in Us sales. Most of the presales and product support is in India and all Indian men. I am finding a lack of response to my emails and meeting invites to support my clients. I am wondering if it is a cultural thing to ignore American women or just women in general. I was told by a peer (male) to always copy their bosses if I want to get a response. I would not like my boss copied on every email if it were me. I’d love advice on how to handle this.
