Hi All! What’s the market right now for big4 recruiting in Sydney? I am project manager, and is looking at EY’s Strategy & Transaction or similar at other firms. I graduated from Usyd, and will have my CPA license in June. As for visa, I don’t have my PR granted yet, but hopefully it works later in the yr or I may opt for the regional visa option. I am a Canadian citizen so tourist visa is an option. Any employers who’d be okay or sponsor? Any advise or leads would be helpful. :)

Generally speaking there is a hiring freeze across the big 4 atm, however some opportunities will start to open up shortly (they are still hiring having on an exception basis). I would recommend opening up beyond the big players and looking at some smaller options too, these will likely not be burdened by red tape in terms of hiring

Why do you want to go to another big4 before getting your PR? Just stay 2 years with EY, get a PR and then it will be easier

That’s the Canadian in me lol

It's illegal to work while in Australia on a tourist visa. If you graduated from USYD you can get a post-study work visa though, to tide you over until you get your PR?

Pardon. Working holiday visa :D

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
