Varies by deal, project and office

Larger deals are more data to swift through, large mega fund PE firms have tighter deadlines and offices are aligned to certain industries ie. Bay is tech, south is oil, manufacturing etc. Hours start slow and usually ramp up once drafting report. Deal turn around time is about a month

Not in FDD but in M&A tax. We are usually ~55-60, and I think FDD is in the same ballpark

I would say on average 50-60, but some groups/offices have less hours

I’ve had crazy hours. The worst one I’ve had was over a 4-6 week period , worked Monday to Sunday 9am to 3am daily.

But typically deals would be about 70-80 hours

In general it’s not great but usually better than investment banking hours. I used to have some 40 hour weeks but also got up to like 80 here and there

Depends on the company, office, deals, rank, etc

~60 serving megafund PE depending on staffing and deals going through

There is no typical

Bad hours

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.
