Fellow partners, I am evaluating an MBB offer to move to South East Asia (Singapore). Would you be able to give me an approx comp ballpark? (Eg 1st year comp and trajectory). Happy to DM if that’s easier. Thank you

Not sure about comp, I was a bit junior when I was there.

Just here to say congratulations and good luck. I loved being in SEA (Kuala Lumpur) and really miss it.

I am in SG right now as a partner with a MBB. DM me and happy to share some insight!

Tough even to move firms as a partner. Will be super tough to move firms and regions (unless you have existing list of potential contacts and clients)

Be prepared to be on a long expedition on development efforts

I moved to SG as a partner and switching firms. I am back stateside now. The COL in SG is comparable to NYC. The comp was no different than the comp in US.
There were a couple of added benefits including School Fees and Car.

If you are US Citizen account for the taxes in US. I had a package that covered tax equalization.

Interested to find out more too OP. Have you worked in SEA before? I’m having conversation myself but with industries, not consulting so even when I have conversation with all their leadership including CEO then the question is whether I have enough relationships and contacts in SEA.

I actually do since I’m from SEA but still a little challenging.

If it is BCG in SEA, avoid. Work culture, leadership and WLB all crap.

I spent time there. And on the other side it bring “entrepreneurism” to the next level as you can have a lots of flexibility on clients

Everybody, thank you for the comments here and individual DMs. Summarising here the MBB SEA equity Partner role for everyone’s benefit:

- multiple small clients
- challenge to sell large programs
- meeting numbers will require lot of hustle
- teams are generally weaker

Compensation (all Singapore):
- 1st year all in compensation is 500k usd (350k base + bonus + allowances + equity grant)
- increases by 10-15 percent every year and could be higher basis how much one sells
- senior partners (6-7 years in) make 1m usd plus (all in)

You going to go for it?

I haven’t done it myself , but have signed off on Partners doing international transfers . When you compare comp - just make sure you clearly understand the tax impact . If they don’t make it tax neutral , it might not be worth the trouble

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.

How do your firms handle these situations?
