Why do Big 4 in Australia have relatively low (junior/mid-level) salaries? In the US, the Big 4 seem to pay better than boutiques, but in Australia it seems to be the reverse; I hear that grad salaries for boutiques like Quantium or Oliver Wyman are at least 10k more than what a Big 4 offers.

And the second question is, why do people stick around for the lower salaries and longer working hours at a Big 4 when boutiques offer better compensation and working conditions? What am I missing?

Started my LLM this fall and used to be a senior manager for Tax Structuring in M&A.
I’ve been applying to entry level LLMs positions for international tax with no success.
I’m in a loss if I’m doing something wrong or maybe my profile doesn’t match what big4 in US expects from an ITS associate…
I’m a foreign trained lawyer and accountant, I’m eligible to take both the bar and the CPA (and have them both in my country).
Should I give up going back to ITS and try a different area, maybe?

If a student has an OT goal (say being able to zip coat or put on shoes without assistance) and the IEP says person responsible is the OT, is that all on them? I understand I could also work on it too in class but when IEP comes, they are responsible for writing the IEP portion and talking about that? Same with speech and language provider?

Best everyday bank account and credit card in Australia for an expat couple?

I‘m moving to Australia with my partner and we don’t have a bank account and credit cards yet. We basically need the bank account only for everyday finance stuff (local payments, debit card, etc) and we‘re looking for some credit cards with good international fees and ideally a reward program to collect some points for traveling.

Hope everyone in Victoria is coping during these times.

Everyone coming into NZ from somewhere else will now need to self quarantine for 14 days. And no cruise ships can dock until after 30 June. Good luck my fellow Antipodeans.
