Hi Fishes, I am considering a Senior Engineer role with Alteryx (previously Hyper Anna) Sydney. If it's not too much trouble, I was hoping if anyone here could share their experience of working at Alteryx Sydney in terms of Culture, work life balance, politics, work pressure, people, Leadership and product. Thanks.

99% of the jobs out there with that kind of lay mean you have worked really hard for a long time leading up to that point. Very, very few people out there reach that point of compensation without serious hard work.
In most places, you are living a great life on half that much money. Certain HCOL areas may need more, but at least where I am based you can have a really great life on far less. It is all a matter of the choices you make, from your career path and work life balance to the type of lifestyle you lead.
Not sure where you’re located, but in most parts of the country that is a very lofty comp goal…and not one that can be achieved without the “grind” that you’re wanting to avoid. Very few make it to that level
Yep.
If you retire at 65 with a 4% withdrawal rate that $500k will yield you $20k a year. So you’ll have that plus Social Security to live on. Or keep working.

Pretty sure OP is talking about annual comp, Net assets
Partner is not a bad life. Shooting for partner and winding up an MD is not a bad life either. Aim high, work hard, and you'll do fine.
Will also add...find a good sponsor. You need someone with political capital at the firm and one that wants to spend it on you.
I’m assuming EY OP is an experienced hire otherwise I can’t see how you really need 400-500k to supply a family. Even in NYC or SF that number seems crazy high.
MD might get you there eventually depending on jurisdiction although average experienced packages are still closer to 350-400
