I'm at EY Sydney, joined couple months ago.
1. It's still consulting, so wouldn't say relaxed, but it sustainable. Lot of people leaving at 5-6pm. Of course depends on the project.
2. Don't know
3. The person above pretty much nailed that answer: you need to take private insurance yourself. Most Australians are on medicare which you won't have access to. I went for low Bupa coverage, which is around 70 a month, so not that expensive if you are alone.
1. Depends on the team and the project
2. Consultants can be on anywhere from 65k-90k (incl. 10.5% superannuation). However, I've also noticed that promotions are faster at EY compared to other Big 4s. I've seen a lot of people join as a Graduate/Consultant and reach Manager in 3-3.5 years.
3. No health insurance. You get a corporate discount for HBF and Bupa though.
The UK is different — you pay a yearly healthcare surcharge as part of your employer-sponsored visa fees to get access to the NHS. There’s no way to access Medicare on an employer-sponsored visa in Australia. (I was in London before moving to Australia.)
