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?

The recent most billable hours post, inspired me. What is your longest billable day? Mine was 56 hours straight with no break—and the partner was more than a jerk when I was saying no more at the 30 hour point. That was two 24 hour billable days back to back on my time sheet and on the bill, a 360 hour month, and 650 aggregated for two months. And it is one reason (of so many reasons) why this job can suck so much! At least I got a good bonus...

Late last year I complained about a few things to a partner and kinda threatened to leave. He did pretty much everything I asked for and I even got a discretionary bonus in Dec (which I’m sure was because he pulled his strings). Now I’ve been approached by a peer firm, thought long and hard about it, and decided I’m not going because I feel valued at my current firm. Should I mention this in my upcoming performance review?
