I'm moving to England from Canada within the next year and trying to figure out exactly where I want to live. I love visiting London, but I feel like brief visits never really reflect the full picture of living in the city, so I'm also considering living in a smaller suburb. From those who live there - what are the pros & cons of living in London?

Biggest pro for me is just being in the middle of it all. I love the hustle of the city.

I live in zone 4 and feel like I’m close enough to all the action but get to come back to a quiet and safe neighbourhood. The major pro is lower transport cost and a faster commuter. The con is it is expensive

Pro - lots of things to do around and always active be it day or night. Plenty of day trips can be done from London. Travel is easier as most flights are from London. Don’t need a car as transportation is great. Highest salaries are in London, most suburbs are a flat 15-25% lower for the same level and work. Lots of options to eat, visit and a lot of job opportunities. Very multicultural.

Con - Expensive for housing and flats are quite smaller relative to what you are used to in Canada. It’s hard making friends so can get lonely. Most people are busy with their own lifestyles and Brits have a reputation for being polite and friendly and will grab a few pints after work, but are quite close knitted to their own social groups from uni/school and rarely see new entrants in them.

Starting to realize that the workload in Public Accounting isn’t bad, it’s fitting it in after 8 hours of back to back meetings that’s the tricky part.

I have resigned and my agency is not counting my approved PTOs for two weeks. I put notice for 30 days, is there any way I can negotiate? Or is there any law that prevents companies to cancel hard earned PTOs?

Any Edward Jones employees? Can anyone share any tips for getting my foot in the door? I’m licensed, have my CFP and have 10+ YOE — However, I’d like to be on the corporate side, ideally in a Product/Analyst capacity. I’ve applied for numerous roles, with no success.

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

I’m a financial advisor (Series 7 and 66) and I really wish I would have become an accountant or investment banker. I like advising, but it’s a grind to find people to make new clients to sell to in order to survive. Are there any exit strategies for a successful young 26 y/o advisor to move to investment banking or a salaried advisor job?

Hi folks! I noticed that this app is primarily US based and I wanted to create a corner which was for the Londoners. This is a place where we can discuss work, life, ask questions, career advancement, salary expectations and more. Happy chatting.

Hi everyone,

I am moving to London on Monday from another country.

I was just informed the earlier accommodation I made got messed up, I can't even begin to explain.

Can anyone please recommend a relatively cheap accommodation to me in London?.

Thank you so much.

I’m trying to hire two roles and am really struggling with candidates asking for way more than I’d be prepared to pay for their experience and skill set, yet feel held over a barrel due to the climate. Anyone else having the same issues?
