People come to work in the London office because the hours are better, the work-life balance is being respected. For me, I have the luck to bill 30 hours in my first two days of work. I was asked to get familiarised with documentation of a complex "credit default swap" transaction (whatever that means) and process the documents before I knew where the toilet is located. There's no time to find answers from the introductory material, but to keep jumping from one definition to another. Glad it's almost over!
The good thing is my team is great, and surprisingly even the secretaries are mostly helpful. My little boss (who slept just a few hours over three days) did pause at one point and asked whether I was learning anything. Impressive attitude!!! Usually, the seniors only care about getting the deal done, and not whether the junior is finding the experience rewarding or not.
My flat is still being very supportive, went home at 4am last night which was about 2 degree celsius outside and the heater in my room was temporarily broken. Is it me, or the flat?
