I’m from Sydney originally but have been working New York for that last 5 years. I am a director at a large consulting firm, providing financial consulting for IPO and mergers etc. I want to move back to Sydney but don’t want to stay in consulting. Any advice on the market and viable options, the market is so different from the US so I’m not sure where to even start.

Depending on exactly who you were interacting with and your overall networking, would working for a venture capital fund not be a viable option?

The market for them is always the same at a top level. If you have access (funds, people, areas, topics) they’ll find a job for you.

Otherwise idk bro, new KFC opened in Martin Place and is looking for people haha

funny

BDO is one of the top firms if KFC doesn’t pan out

Sad to say the market is terrible at the moment. DM me and I can try to help.

Seeking advice: I’ve been working as an analyst at a PE company for 18months 4 days a week on a part time contract and I feel like they are under paying me. I’m earning 42.2K p.a They want me to go full time as I am graduating however I don’t know what the base salary for an analyst with 18 months experience would be. My friend who works as an analyst (with less experience than me) is earning 70K. Would love to get a sense of what I should be expecting / asking for when I go full time. Thanks!
