This seems a pretty accurate summary but, as someone who has lived in London for over seventy years, I would warn that you'll need a hide like a rhino to tolerate this place but, if you can do it, the city is enormous fun and genuinely unique.
@@brigittahoffmann9283 I'll leave everyone to decide for themselves whether, ultimately, it's good or it's bad. My point is that there's a much bigger trade-off in London between the good bits and the bad bits. What you eventually decide depends on which gets to you most; the good or the bad. I'm not sure the USA is that big on ethics, either!
@@MarkMarkko You need to be ready to keep trying even though the odds seemed stacked against your survival. This is difficult to do, day after day, even for truly motivated people. So, you need a plan of how you will earn enough money to live and a workable "plan B" for when it all goes wrong. It helps if you have friends here who can help you out for a while by sharing accommodation. So, why bother? It is fun and there are real uplifting moments that will become memories that last forever. I've been to some football matches and gigs I would have put up with ANYTHING to witness.
@@kharmalade544 Hey, I'm planning on moving to London to work as a SW tester. Thank you for your point of view and your tips. I'm wondering if you have any idea how a foreigner can make friends in London even before I step into the country. I find it kinda weird to find people on instagram and be like ,,Hi, wanna be friends? :)) "
@@alberkulicka954 I think that would be difficult because people would be wary of a sting. But it's not hard to get to know people once you are here. If you moved to NYC you would probably only meet people in the same line of work as you whereas in London you get to know people from all backgrounds. Regarding work, try to get the firm paying you to do so as you're a self-employed person rather than an employee or a company. With a large firm this may not be possible but smaller ones usually will.
Brexit is taking a temporary toll on the city BUT give it a couple of years to London being one of the most important business hub in the world. I'm Italian and living in London for about 14 years, I have travelled to nearly 100 countries, speak 5 languages, lived in 5 different countries and I can confidently say: There is no place like London - in the West at least. Anyone who say otherwise is stupid, frustrated or/and jealous. Simple as that.
Minimum wage, taxes and living costs, things that only happen if you work in London. Thank god I was watching this while waiting for my washing machine to stop, what a waste of time

Can you elaborate that need for a "hide like a rhino" in London, please ?
