So I’ve gotten an offer to move to Tokyo as a foreign lawyer for a Big 4 Japanese law firm – had a few questions about it
-are foreign lawyers expected to work the same crazy hours as Japanese lawyers?
-are there any work-life balance initiatives at the Big4?
-do foreign lawyers get paid less than their Japanese counterparts?
-what’s an average day like for a foreign lawyer? Do you have evenings and weekends off?
TIA!

As a fellow lawyer I’m interested in this as well!
