请问有在四大consulting firm曾经或现在工作的吗？

dolinloop

不是KPMG，KPMG在consulting方面做得还比较小一些。具体情况可以msg联系阿

你的career path跟我挺不一样的，我是在国内有好几年工作经验了才来的，所以以前的职业经验应该对拿到这份offer有一点小作用。但是我相信你的语言和对澳大利亚本土适应能力会超过我。

consulting 职位申请的人很多，所以简历上一定要让人觉得你和别人有所不同，要有eye catching的地方（比如说以前的工作经验，奖学金，学生会领导能力等等）。成绩也要过得去，因为公司会借此评价这个人是否聪明。

有了面试机会，接着就是看case interview了，我觉得事先多练习，到时不要紧张就好。case interview解决问题的时候，经常要进行一些计算，老外不大行的，这时候中国人只要冷静，就很容易超过他们。

最后case interivew的时候表现出的性格和工作方式也会被考察，strong result driven是肯定的，但是同时又不能太competitive，要容易和别人合作。-- 就是一个怎么平衡的问题了

dolinloop, which university you got MBA from, AGSM? MBS?

from ur description, i am pretty sure u work for PWC. It's an awesome firm. I hope when i am 25. I can get a position in a consulting firm!!!!!!

dolinloop

I'm not working for PWC. Don't think PWC's consulting business in Australia is as big as ours. It seems our company hasn't done enough in branding. We have eliminated two choices, it's getting much clearer where i'm working. hehe

mxzjimmy

Oh. well. give it another shot, EY. lol. but they have a specific china related team, that's y i didn't say EY.  I am from Monash, most of the graduates go to Deloiite, KPMG and PWC, i rarely heard ppl working in EY though. lol

dolinloop

You just missed the right answer. :) Thought it was going to be an easy one.
Ok, I'm a sr. consultant in Deloitte, not in graduate program. :) Although Deloitte is traditionally regarded as an auditing firm, its consulting is very strong both in U.S. and in Australia. - even bigger than auditing

Wow, that's cool. my mate did internship in Deloitte at consulting division last summer , although they offered him a graduate position, he decided to take accenture instead.. he told me they only hired less than 10 ppl in consulting and there were seven interviews to pass. It's really competitive!!!!!!. u've done a good job. i hope i could get there someday !!!

I know Deloitte Consulting.

My neighbour used to work in Deloitte Consulting but she is now working in a bank. I'm not sure what kind of position a consultant can get in a bank?

dolinloop

Is your neighbor in Consulting? there are a few different service lines in Deloitte, such as corp finance, risk, tax, auditing. In consulting, we have 4 competencies, which are Strategy & operations, Human resources, technology advisory and Enterprise Information Management.

Accenture is very well known i guess. I know consultants in overseas earn really good money. I'm sure if it is so in Australia?

Oh she was in Deloitte Consulting in Malaysia but i think she later changed to PWC. But she's now working in a bank in Sydney.

dolinloop

I don't know too much about the pay in Accenture Australia. But they are famous in making employee working very hard.

sawgim

Consulting firms only hire ppl with Masters degree and above?

mxzjimmy

he will be starting in accenture next year, 60k plus super.  it's ok for a 22 year old graduate, and the training should be excellent there

sawgim

wow, 60k plus for a graduate is really good. He is so lucky, must be a smart guy.

mxzjimmy

sure he is , but banks pay 55k plus super as well. so it's not that great as opposed to its name .

sawgim

oic

dolinloop

I don't know how the other consulting firms recruit. But for Deloitte consulting, we recruit 3 types of people:
- undergraduate for graduate program. they will be analyst a few months after joining the firm
- MBA as sr. consultant
- experienced hires, including consultants, managers, directors or partners

sawgim

Is it very stressful working in those big consulting firms as they normally hire smart ppl?

dolinloop

Very stressful at the beginning, but i'm now getting used to it. My friend working in Bain China told me it is usual for them to work until 2am. By contrast, I can finish my work before 7pm most of the time. So i guess I won't want to be a consultant in China. It's an occupation i will only try in Australia.

mxzjimmy

cant agree with you more, that's the main reason y  i wanna stay in aus.  the work culture in asia is terrible. big 4, banks, consulting firms, are all the same back in aisa. I love AUS!!!!!

mxzjimmy

would you mind giving me some idea for the pay in deloiite as a senior consultant?
