Hi all,

Wanted to gauge what level within MBB and the likes of OW pays around A$150k gross (not inclusive of Super) in Aus? Understand this may be location specific so please weigh in as you deem fit. Thanks!

Associate level (level before manager) pays above that. Pay would be the same across Syd and Melb offices.

Overall, I think Kearney is great culturally, and really enjoy working here. Kearney ANZ has one of the best cultures out of our other global offices - have worked across a few myself, and we have a lot of transfers from EU, Asia and ME who say the same.

In terms of other T2s, it is better than S& (who have pretty much disintegrated locally with teams leaving to other firms - not their fault). OW I interviewed with a while ago and didn't really vibe well - tends to be the general feedback from others, maybe it has changed recently - they previously were small / focused on financial services but have been growing recently through aquisitions and hiring of S& partner pyramids. LEK is smaller and does a lot of DDs (not good from wlb perspective) but i personally dont know the culture. I have worked in the strat arm of Big 4 in Aus and I am having a far better experience at Kearney. I think it comes down to Kearney having a fairly compact team of just management consultants, a decent run of organic stable growth / hiring thanks to current leadership, Kearney in general places emphasis on culture as its differentiator with leadership actually listening and respondong to issues raised by junior team.

Other things to throw out there about Kearney that may influence culture reactive to other T2s (not comparing MBB here) - $$ are good, work focus in Aus is CMT, Strategic Ops (various industries - decent amount of sourcing cost reduction), PEPI, Financial services (if you don't like there areas then you won't like the firm), trainings and offsites have rediced in recent years but hope that can be turned around.

In general, consulting market in Aus is tough at the moment - on the mend but not yet bouncing back. I suspect budget and growth will continue to be constrained this year - hopefully by time you consider a move things have improved.

This is base. Add super, ~20% bonus, health and life insurance for you and your partner/ family. TC is much higher.

Would love to get insight into the level of attrition that you see at PE firms.

How many new analysts/associates can I expect for a GE fund to hire each year? I understand each firm/office has varying needs, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around why anyone would even consider T2 consultants, even at the consulting-friendly shops.

Not enough MBB consultants interested in PE to fill all the ex-consultant spots? Personal goal is to build a fighting chance to exit into GE or MM PE

Hiya!

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.
