I’m a Senior Manager at PwC and on 125K + super. It feels painfully low given I have 8 years in consulting (including 5 at PwC). What’s a reasonable SM Consulting Salary in the country? Am I on a low Salary for PwC standards? These bands are hard to make sense of and tbh the markets hot in Aus / I think I finally want to jump ship...

Did you check the AFR report on salaries for diff grades across the big 4? Check it out add your guide.
If you're a new SM different to being inn the role for a few years. I'm guessing it's a bit low, close to bottom of band.

Then you have a strong reason to talk with partners and HC to readjust your pay upwards.

Yes, that's low mate. There's plenty of money out there. Personally (and speaking from experience) you can get a good jump when you leave Consulting as they bang on about the apprenticeship model (rubbish - excuse to pay under your worth).

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

Additional Posts in PwC Australia

Hey there!

I’m currently working with PwC US and looking for opportunities in PwC Australia. Anyone available to chat?

Anyone else in AU firm nervous for the announcements tomorrow? Surprised there isn’t more activity on this bowl given everything that is going on

Anybody involved in the energy transition unit that is launching? Would love to hear more about it!

Gotta laugh at the article in today's AFR about 11 PwC Australia partners shopping themselves around...with a potential to take 170 staff with them.

Article is well informed to say they are all from Consulting, but stops short to say which part of Consulting.

Do we think it's the Accenture team who came on-masse to run tech consulting ?

This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem.
