Yes, in fact I lived there for 6 months. These articles never mention or underestimate the Anglosphere. NY+London work well together because of a shared language, and overlapping time zone, and similar work ethics. I'd see far higher percentage of UK employees working late to overlap with NY than I ever saw in Frankfurt. That extra hour makes a big difference.

- LatteLazy 6y agoI don't know, I think that's cultural more than anything else. In the UK (in finance at least) you're there till the job is done and your bonus nreflect that. In Germany, your there for set hours and being great or terrible won't make much difference so why bother? If people made the arguement that London is good at finance because londoners (and it is londoners, not brits overall) want it more, I'd agree. When people say it's the language or the timezone I'm very unconvinced. Otherwise, why hasn't Ireland eaten our lunch?
- lmm 6y agoIreland is the same timezone as the UK and doesn't have any real global cities. Dublin hasn't eaten London's lunch for the same reason that Liverpool or Newcastle haven't.
