🐠 fam,

What’s a reasonable salary range for senior consult roles in Asia? Eg Singapore / Hong Kong / Tokyo / China?

@M1 Not in Hong Kong though - COL is comparable to the Bay/NYC

Lol my $52k SC offer was in HK so you can imagine why I turned it down. It’s such a one-dimensional city industry-wise that you won’t get anywhere near US salaries outside of finance. MBB salaries in Asia are generally much higher than Big 4 though (yes that’s true here as well but the pay differential between US and Asia also seems to be smaller)

Housing is the main expense in HK — other costs of living are generally cheaper than cities in the US

Post MBA? ~100k USD

@D1 if even. I was offered SC at a Big 4 for about half of that (granted, no MBA), to which I basically told them to take a hike.

Was offered about 150 base. Money goes a lot further in Asia than the US though, it’s not a terrible option.

D2 - it depends. If you live like an expat, yes. Anything less than full western style, 100% English speaking areas though, and life is much cheaper than NY/SF.

I have a possible opportunity at Protiviti. Coming from big4 and wondering if Protiviti has fairly similar perks. I’ve read the 2022 benefits guide and it gave a oddly low PTO count of 16 days. Is this true and what about a holiday disconnect in the December time period? Are there any other hidden perks that are awesome? Already heard WLB is better and the culture, but I feel like I’ve gotta find that out first hand. Protiviti
