This 100%. Lived & worked in both places. London has better WLB and better benefits. However, as someone else pointed out, the pay is much lower (but also the cost of living is lower than NYC).

Did my under/grad/6+ years in Consulting in London and now in NYC…
- Pay is 100% better in NYC
- The city is 100% London

But now that I left Consulting… my hours are great in general

NY hands down

If you want the pay, go NYC . Everything else London

IMO, you work at Mck (not sure what level) but C/PL and above pay in london is substantial so the difference is not much and I would pick London

If you went to a top British university then you can achieve anything in London. If you’re American then New York is better as you’ll maybe struggle to break into the cliquey London society. Overall london is a much better city lifestyle wise but career wise it depends on your circumstances

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?
