I’m an American planning to move to Australia once my offshore partner visa processes. I was in consulting pre-MBA, and I am working as a strategist in industry in San Francisco post-MBA. I don’t miss the consulting lifestyle at all, so I would prefer to stay in industry when I move to Australia. What opportunities are there? Any recruiters I should connect with? And what should my salary expectations be with a San Francisco post-MBA salary?

Honestly as with much in life it all depends. Opportunity wise It depends on where in Australia you go. Sydney Melbourne are more fun serv and telco, Canberra more public sector work, West Coast is a lot of mining and resources. I get the feeling that WLB is better in Aus than USA but that could just be my experience. Salary expectations are of course dependent on your level, experience and industry selected but in general I would anticipate it being less than SF. Recruiters just hit up LinkedIn

Does it make a difference which city I set on LinkedIn? My partner would prefer to stay in Melbourne but most of the post-MBA strategy roles I’ve seen are in Sydney. Also, what is the salary range for a post-MBA strategist?

Salary will be much lower than US. You will also struggle to physically get in to Australia with the international borders closed

The MBA is not the big ticket earner here like it is in the US.

Good news re: visa. However, be aware there is a current arrivals cap, which is making flying into the country very difficult. Often people are having their flights cancelled multiple times and at the last minute. Your best move is to book an international business class flight as you will have a better chance of getting in and not cancelled
