Well, - I did not talk about the government, but I don't think it's that bad in France compared to most places in the world. Sure, some places like the Nordics seem to have pretty decent governments but at the end of the day in almost every country in the world the government is going to suck and you'll have to succeed despite them. - Paris is "expensive" but it's still a LOT cheaper than other comparables cities, eg. London. I won't even talk about NYC or Silicon Valley. - The ecosystem is blooming right now, and if it keeps up as I think it will, that means a tremendous number of opportunities for an ambitious person willing to start a business or work with startups. - Funding sucks. But then again it sucks everywhere on the planet apart from SV so that's that. At least people who have worked in France can live on pretty decent unemployment checks for up to two years while they bootstrap the business so that's helpful enough.
