Is there anyone here in Germany or Europe working in IB, PE, FDD? Given that the German law doesn’t allow you to exceed working more than 37.5 hours a week, are those guys in Europe really working 37 hours a week in finance?

I can’t speak for Germany, but I imagine it’s the same as the UK. Within our contract is a waiver that essentially accepts that you will work more than the legal limits.

Isn't it 48 hours? And it's just the employer can't make them work longer than that, employee can do what they like.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

I realize sheer number of cases doesn’t tell the whole story… obviously you can be buried on one massive case. I’m finding it hard to jump back and forth between everything I have going on right now, though, but I don’t know if the answer is to just deal with it.

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!
