Islington, Hampstead / St John's Wood, Primrose Hill. Clapham Junction off Northcote Road is popular. Wimbledon Village very nice but not a great commute. These are all quite premium options but for a US firm associate (assuming they pay US scale or thereabouts) they may be worth checking out.
I've been at a US firm for c. 7 years and recently moved to Earlsfield - between CJ and Wimbledon. Works for me re balancing greenery and commute. I didn't like living in Zone 1 but if your priority is sleep & work then places like Clerkenwell / Farringdon are right on your doorstep.

That's great. Much appreciated 👍

I turned 30 yesterday and I just now realized something about this job. It may not apply to everyone, but it seems to click for me.

Each and every audit/assurance engagement I’m on will be successful if BOTH the client and engagement team (and their expectations) are properly managed.

I’ve stumbled my way to M1 without realizing this. I was always focused on the engagement team and relied on motivated clients to keep up their end of the bargain. Glad I’ve realized this heading into year two.
