Hi everyone,

I’m new to Australia and working as an Executive in Trade Support at Macquarie (Sydney). My TPV is AUD 115,000 (including super), and contracted for 37.5 hours pw —but often work more, with no separate overtime compensation.

Is this TPV/salary package typical or fair for my level and responsibilities?
I’ve previously worked in Europe in similar roles, and am finding the pay and work/life balance here a bit challenging

Thanks in advance for helping

It's about right, you just didn't know before getting here that Sydney is expensive, in a way that you don't quite understand until you try living there

I have no idea what Trade Support is but that salary seems pretty low to me if you’re an Executive. First year consultants earn that in some industries.

Executive? Salary seems a little low... But you do work in ops. Is it a leadership role of what do you do?

Works at supatreats

Executive is L3 in Macquariez so I think that's within range, though might be at the lower end (most likely bc you're new to Aus). If you're a good performer, negotiate for a good raise or bonus during performance appraisals.
