[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 48147, member: 2672"] Great to have you on-board! My only input into this hours question is also [B][U]when [/U][/B]the long hours are. Some of the US firms tend to have later nights as ultimately a higher proportion of their work is coming in from the US and therefore working to US timezones/deadlines. This isn't the case for all US firms though (as some will be managing a much higher proportion of UK led matters). Some other international firms, especially those with stronger ties to Asia often find their long hours are with earlier starts where they are working to timezones in Asia (or either really late if the matter is being picked up in the morning in Asia). I can remember one partner being quite honest with me that they liked doing work with African clients as the timezones were typically more aligned to London! [/QUOTE]
