Take home pay for most industries and roles after expenses is considerably higher in NYC so that’s the big factor for me. London has better weekend trip options as Europe has far more walkable cities and towns

Yes. EuroStar, EasyJet and RyanAir are alive and well. The checks at the border are the same as they were before Brexit.

NYC is better if you’re under 35. It’s faster paced, better night life, clubs and events, better shopping, more buzz and randomness, Americans are way more social and friendly to strangers etc. It just feels like a much bigger, more exciting, more buzzing city than London. London can get a bit boring just because people are more conservative, cliquey and closed off there. However, the slower pace can be good for young families and people who don’t want the constant chaos. London is far more elegant, beautiful, cultured, way more interesting city layout. Best weekend trip options in the world. You can be in Paris in 2 hours if you get bored etc. The bad thing is the salaries are low and cost of living is high. So you end up way ahead living in NYC and just coming to London to visit a lot or work remotely from. I think that’s the best arrangement - get a high paying job in NYC where you can work remotely from London a few months out of the year and enjoy both cities.
I've lived in both. London was better.
New York would be my first choice but I would not mind living in the London
Neither
NYC for sure. Way better culture and vibes

At the moment RoboCop fascist mayor is not making NYC better. Honestly I'd rather have healthcare than a fat paycheck to spend at "hot" restaurants you can barely get into on resy. I find NYC to be this hostile place if you're not extremely well off. The creative spirit has dimmed a bit.
What’s your life status and immediate plans (family, kids, lifestyle…)?

London is far better than NYC… but my heart is lost somewhere in NYC, so I need to be here to find it first ❤️❤️❤️
