I'm starting to think it's time to leave London, not sure if anyone else in this space? It's expensive, and not sure we're getting any real value here. Thinking of moving elsewhere, perhaps somewhere warmer but not sure if that would be the death of my career? I'm doing pretty well here and worried I'd lose momentum if I did move somewhere else.

You can have a perfectly good career outside of London. Where are you thinking?

Following.

you can always move offices with Deloitte. They have many offices throughout the country. You might find the industry your clients are in changes, but there are still some big companies based outside of London that are asking for advice

Switzerland may be an option

Come to Bermuda :)

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
