UK Big 4 Audit Manager - salary/exit opp expectations for a move to Aus?
Hi all,
Audit Manager at a Big 4 firm in London, considering a transfer to Australia in the next 6-12 months. Trying to get a realistic picture before I commit.
A few things I’m hoping people with direct experience can help with:
1. Salary/package for a Big 4 Audit Manager in Melbourne — what’s realistic total comp (base + bonus) right now? Inc/exc Super
2. Progression — what’s the typical path and timeline from Manager → Senior Manager → Director in Australian Big 4?
3. Exit opportunities after PR — in the UK, ex-Big 4 audit managers moving into industry can expect £80k+ (approx $160k+) opportunities on exit. What’s the equivalent in Australia and are these roles common?
Not expecting exact figures, just a sanity check. Appreciate any insight, especially from people who’ve made a similar move.
Thanks!
