Hi folks, could anyone with experience as an associate in London comment on the office arrangement for associates? I’ve really gotten used to having a personal office, which I’m afraid of losing if I pursue some London opportunities. If there aren’t private offices, do firms often have resting areas or things of that sort?

Muchas gracias.

Can only speak for my firm of course but the shared office space isn't so bad. I started in NY and moved relatively shortly over to London. Does take some getting used to but as a junior it can be incredibly helpful to turn to the senior in my office and ask for advice. There are also meeting rooms and a kitchen area with some seats geared towards socializing.

There are definitely some drawbacks, like I can't change in my office and need to have better etiquette than I would in my own office, but all in all I don't view it as the breaking point many make it out to be.
