I just left London for Paris based on: - cost/quality of life favorable to Paris by a large margin - France is 2nd biggest consumer market in Europe, giant opportunities still open there (like Germany) - a gifted talent scene, among which many are short on capital/language to work elsewhere in Europe - google campus is 2.5h away door to door - buzzing US community here - world hub for fashion and 3d Yes, there are more of this in London: - capital (London is a fiscal paradise) - big startups - middlemen (all things admin to outsource) - flexible offices (this is changing fast though) - English speakers This article (and main character) feels like a giant whine/rant. If you want a quick buck, London's great- though expect everyone to be working on a booking.com-like something or "Airbnb for x". As for the next 2 decades, I bet that Paris and Berlin will take off just as smoothly.
