It’s alright in Australia, mbs/agsm are the ones to go for

Australia for the most part has a strange bias against MBAs. Doesn't really help much outside of MBB, boutiques, and some IB.

In saying that, AGSM/MBS have a large alumni network and you'll find that the alumni tends to be more appreciative of new MBA grads than the general market.

Not valued I guess. I don’t see a pay difference between MBA vs Non-MBA at same level in Big4. Can’t comment about MBB.
Whats the career plan?

Thanks for the information.

So I have worked with few clients having presence in Australia but general idea is to work few years in Consulting to gain 'Local experience' and built some capital/assets.

If MBB happens, that will be best otherwise I can always fall back to TechConsulting. If you ask specifically there is no Calling, lower Middle class blokes can fit anywhere ;)

Under TechConsulting option, few years down the lane, I plan to start my own small shop with help of talented folks in India.

For other options nothing specific in mind.

If interested you can DM me and can speak. For your info, I am an Indian entrepreneur, did MBA in USA and came to Australia last year.
