If you’re coming from India of course it will be more expensive. Common sense. But yes, worth it to discover the western world for your first time.
So I actually do think it’ll depend on where you’re moving from simply because your perspective on COL will be different, as will your priorities. I’m saying this because I considered moving from NYC but then decided against it because the pay cut I would end up taking didn’t seem proportionate to the lower COL vis a vis NYC. That perspective would probably have been different if I was moving from another city / country. It’ll also depend on the level of comp of your London opty
It really depends on where you currently are, what your plans are and how can moving to London help you to achieve that.
This. I only recommend living in London to two groups of people: (1) Those who genuinely really want to be here, and (2) Those who want a career that starts in London, given how many of the jobs are here.
But there are jobs in other parts of the UK, and if you don't care too much what job you end up with, be sure to weigh in other factors too! The UK has some amazing places. I'm personally leaving London for Scotland at the end of this month because I finally gave up on my "Big Dream" of working in Westminster and have decided I'll work whatever job I can find if it means I can own a house and get to go hiking in the mountains on weekends.
I’ve lived in HK, Tokyo, NYC and London and Londons objectively the best cosmo city to live in - depends on what are you optimizing for. If it is QoL then London wins 100%. Money not so much….
Agree with this. London is so beautiful. I always chuckle when Brits say London is a dump. They’ve never lived in North Philly or the West side of Chicago. 😆
London is fun for young single women , but only for a short while. If you want to enjoy fast life , meet people who are doing the samw as you, exploring london together. I dont recommend it longterm. Its filled with people with bad mental health.
As if rest of the world is not! Welcome to capitalism.
