This is almost always the case for winter interns in black firm? Even if one does average for the duration?

Highly dependent on industry and client. Some work like dogs all the way, while others don't have much work all the way.

Just curious, what are some of the industries with a lower workload?

The guy from 1988 would be manager or senior manager, while the guy from 1994 should be associate/senior associate. Not surprising if these two experiencing drastically different lives.
Just tank 6 years and life will change. (but not necessarily for the better..)
My 2 cents is: You must realize big4 is really very big. Like hundreds plus people inside. Cannot just hear from one person and assume the whole company is like that.
There will be extremes cases. (i.e people who can 6pm go home, people who OT until 4am) The kind of portfolio you get is also up to luck sometimes. A lot of factors... your client, your boss, your subordinates, your own competence, the nature of the portfolio you get, the deadlines etc.
Not all of which are within your control...
Anyone can share what it is like working in Big4 Australia, in terms of work culture, people, etc? My friend who is an Aus PR, managed to get an experienced audit associate position in the Melbourne branch.
Do you know which industry sector? Melbourne is an interesting market as it has the head office of two of the large Australian banks (ANZ and NAB), as well as various other financial and non financial institutions. Depending on firm and client base in Melbourne for the sector, there could be a different focus even within assurance whether it be audit or non-audit (eg regulatory, compliance, non-financial assurance, etc).
Work culture is a bit more relaxed than Sydney (and Singapore), but there is still a similar focus on efficiency as per rest of Australia - its not a holiday despite what some people think. Hours are usually not long compared to Singapore (9-6 for most of the year) but expectation is work will be done efficiently during the day, and any issues or delays are proactively managed with the manager/partner. Expectations on an experienced associate vs Singapore will be broader than pure execution and delivery, and will include much more coaching and taking the initiative around acting senior responsibilities.
Hi jace88, thanks for your reply. The audit industry is retail, so like products and services. I Guess she’s a bit uncertain in terms of work culture. She feels she should be more introverted, perhaps observe first and then talk more later. She’s my Cousin and she’s naturally shy but talks too much once she gets to know a person.
Also from what I know, people there tend not to talk about age, salary, where you live, women’s size or skinniness, unlike here in Singapore where people talk about these things, so that’s what I’m telling her.
It seems to me, like big4 in australia doesn’t have that many people compared to SIngapore. So more overtime or additional workload? E.g. she told me say like KPMG and PWC SIngapore have about 2,500 to 3,000 people each, whereas in Australia it’s much smaller spread between different cities.
