Our company has opened several new Amsterdam offices thanks to Brexit already. Currently they have probably added low double digit jobs in Amsterdam, and cut single digit jobs in the UK (explicitly related to Brexit...net jobs in the UK are probably even). This may not sound like a lot, but for a company that operated in every EU country, but only had a single office, in London, that employs 1000s of really well paid employees, and had no plans at all to change anything, it’s a huge step. At the very least, London now has competition from Amsterdam in terms of European work, and EU employees will likely prefer moving to Amsterdam with free movement than to London with the hassles involved. And this is right at the beginning of Brexit at a time where nothing has actually changed thanks to the 1 year continuity period. If the deal that the UK strikes a year from now (which is only likely to make things worse) is substantially bad, then things may change very rapidly. Brexit was a decision by a generation that did not fight the wars, but always wished they did and that greatly benefited from the EU, but their desire to believe that they were being oppressed and they had to throw off the shackles from the oppressors, like their ancestors did, led them to screw the newer generations while they themselves are at the end of their lives and will barely suffer from the consequences.
