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.

Re: Office space in London Biglaw
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.
