How is Audit like in Australia Sydney?

I did some years in Big4 Audit in my home country. I wonder if I should follow the same track in Australia. I can work long hours with low pay, but I aboslutely hate stock-take and client visits.

Do we have to go to clients all dressed up 5 days a week? Do we go to industrial zones and rural clients?

Thanks,

I’ve heard that Australians don’t work the typical public accounting long hours. They receive OT for anything over 40 (I think it’s 40). Heard this from someone in public accounting but not big4

Big 4 is the same everywhere. Extremely long hours and weekends too. No OT paid, frequent client visits etc.
