I left. I'm in London now. It's easy to find out why, even in the context of the article. You see what the rest of the world has, and want to take part. Want to work on building a Boeing 777? You can't do it in New Zealand. Sure, you can work at small companies building small planes, but if you want to be working "world scale", you have to be where all the people are. To relate back to HN, there are a few small startups, but the market is different in New Zealand. As a nation of small businesses, about 95% of the population work for a company with 50 or fewer staff. If your business involves selling to other businesses at scale, there are comparatively far fewer opportunities to do this. NZ would be a great place to put a remote team (Mozilla have one in Auckland) and Kiwis love the idea a company will pay to fly them around the world every now and then. Even better, if you pay them in USD or GBP, it generally works out favourably for both sides.
