Its abit different now compared to other generations when you actually start to see the decline effecting you and people around you. Not a bunch of privileged old people saying "it was better in the old days" while they chill on their nice pension and only had one job since they left school at 16.
I think that depends on a lot of factors. I’ve generally not found that to be the case at least with friends and colleagues in London. I can fully understand not everyone’s situation is the same. I certainly rate London as one of the best cities in the world. I think Tokyo is probably the only other place I would consider if I was looking for that awesome huge city feel. I like to visit Europe but for me it’s a step down in pay and doesn’t offer me anything more than the UK. Again not everyone’s circumstances are the same so can’t speak for everyone.
Comprehension fail on your part, me thinks.The Republic of Ireland (listed as Ireland on the EU website) is in the EU.
As a British citizen (non-EU person), under the common travel agreement, you can live and work there just like an Irish citizen can live and work here.
The path to Irish citizenship is lowers for UK people as we don't use the residency calculator. So you can stay, I think 5 years in Ireland, then apply for citizenship. You'd immediately become an EU citizen.
I'm surprised you don't know this already as its been discussed before by those who wanted back in the EU.

Actually, I'd say that British expats are the worst in this regards, especially those who have been stuck in one place for a number of years. It's like they feel a constant need to justify where they moved to. This is something I noticed way before Brexit was even a glint in Cameron's eye.If you have been working in Europe as a contractor then you pretty much know not many have a very high opinion about the UK and living there either, especially since Brexit, so lets get that out the way first
NZ might suit you better.
My impression is that the UK is a good place for careers in big tech, including the chance to get senior positions at US tech companies - opportunities are fewer and farther between outside the UK. The comp for this type of company and role is great also.

Fully agree. London especially. It’s the 3rd biggest tech city in the world and has a good chance of becoming the 2nd biggest. The opportunities and pay could only be beaten by going to the US.
In my view no. I’ve lived in many places including across the UK and the reason I stay in the UK is London. I know it’s not for everyone but a cesspit is a bit extreme.
You’re allowed to stay 6 months in NZ as a tourist. Why not check it out for an extended period?
Wait until your employer realises they could quite as easily hire someone much cheaper in another country rather than someone living in Switzerland working from home.And that's the problem with working in London. Good thing the pandemic accelerated the opportunity for people to work from home. Instead of being told, you need to move to London to do X job like I was
Other people seemed to understand what I was meaning. Though I admit I didn't write it out in long form so if it give a misrepresentation to you when you was reading it then apologises.

I try to go into the office once a week, it's nice to meet colleagues, have a change of scenery and float ideas around/see what others are doing. Plus I have a lot of friends scattered around London so it's nice to catch up for drinks/food etc. I could understand wanting to stay indoors in the evenings posting on UK forums and watching British TV if you lived in Switzerland though. Not much else to do.
