I did, but I’m here on a partner visa.

Sponsorship for strategy talent is very limited since the pandemic. Now that the border has reopened, the new bottleneck is the visa processing time. 482 visas are taking at least a few months to be granted — the Department of Home Affairs is prioritising essential workers on the PMSOL list — and most companies are not willing to wait that long for junior or mid-level strategy talent.

If you are British and under 30 (or under 35 whenever the new rules go into effect), you could look at coming over on a working holiday visa and trying to get sponsored once you are in Australia. Your main challenge with a working holiday visa is that it has a 6-month limit with an employer, so you would need get lucky and have your 482 granted before you hit 6 months working with them.

Hi, this is a bit early but thought y’all might have some good insight. I’m exiting my current startup & have two offers on the table 1. A successful small startup in NYC doing PE/niche executive recruiting and 2. a fairly reputable PE consulting group in Austin. I’m going through the recruitment process at McKinsey for a middle/back office role (capabilities for a really cool space) but by the time I hear back, one of my offers won’t be on the table. Any advice on what’s best for MBA apps?
