Consulting in Australia: Help. I’m a Senior Manager at PwC (advisory) and on 125K + super. It feels painfully low given I have 8 years in consulting (including 5 at PwC). What’s a reasonable SM Consulting Salary in the country? The markets hot in Aus and I think I finally want to jump ship...

Hey OP. There was an article recently released by the AFR which talked about big 4 and Accenture pay. Believe Accenture SM is in the 170k+ region. Per the article, Accenture managers are on 130k+.

Fellow Aussie here- was in similar situation until I jumped and can confirm many managers are making more. Did you come up through the ranks? Sadly this normally puts you at a pay disadvantage. I doubled pay when I left for competitor a couple years ago.

That sounds low for a SM in Aus. Use the AFR article A1 mentioned to have a salary conversation with HC.

3rd year at MBB earn more than that, so jump if you can :)

Is that base only or TC? What's the TC with variable/bonus. I'm in a similar boat, but at another firm!

Base! About 137 with super. We pretty much never get bonuses at PwC

I made that as a third year SC at Deloitte NY. Seems very low
