Which office? I worked big 4 in the U.K. Nothing like us hours - like NOTHING - busy season I was home for dinner every night and maybe turned computer on Sunday night. However - I did know folks that worked in London and it had a bit more of a us feel in terms of hours.

Most countries don't work our busy season hours. I've done Australia which is very relaxed and been told London is the same. 50ish hours on the high end.

6 months in Manchester/Liverpool

I think should be pretty relaxed then. You can plan lots of weekend things (like getting out of Liverpool) - and shouldn't be working too late.

That sounds awesome OP, how did you manage get that gig?

Damn, that's it? I am interested in doing one through Pwc in Hong Kong in couple years, second year senior now, so hopefully will be a manager by then. But Pdub's website make it seem like such a long and complicated process to apply ? May I ask what firm you are with?

GT, I did have to go through all the approval process/conversations before applying to that office specifically
