- PlutoIsAPlanet 3y ago> EU (for better quality of life) Yeh, don't worry the people partially responsible for poor quality of life in the UK have already worked to make that option more unviable.
- doublerabbit 3y agoUh huh, I think you may have it backwards. The people who were partially responsible for the better quality. Food was amazing, trading was amazing, funding was nice. All until the folk of England decided we wanted none of that.
- NlightNFotis 3y agoYou misread his comment - you're both agreeing here. He said that the people who brought us to this state have made it harder to move to the EU (because of Brexit limiting freedom of movement).
- doublerabbit 3y agoAh, my bad. I misread "in" as "of"
- matthewfelgate 3y agoI can't just move to the USA.
- rchaud 3y agoThousands of people from the UK have been moving to Canada since Brexit, and average incomes here are higher than in the UK. UK and AUS residents can live and work in Canada on a 2-year visa, no questions asked. Immigration to the US is much more difficult. If you don't have a job offer, or a valid work permit of some kind, a non-immigrant tourist visa is the best you're going to get.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoWhat would be the situation if - as a complete hypothetical - you did work in the tech behind finance, in the UK? Is the US still a good option?
- IneffablePigeon 3y agoYes because there are no hurdles or downsides to moving halfway across the world.
- SmallDeadGuy 3y agoUnless you have any health issues whatsoever, or want to have a child, at which point you absolutely should not move to the US. Maybe the ridiculously inflated tech salaries in the US can compensate for that, but outside of tech I don't think it makes up for it at all.
- posix_monad 3y agoUS tech salaries absolutely compensate. Typical tech salary is 2-3x in the US compared to the UK, which covers the health insurance costs.
- dbbk 3y agoOh yeah you can famously snap your fingers and just move to the US or the EU (although that is simpler)
