    So when the going gets tough you brick it and leave? Does this departure contribute to Brexit brain drain or brain gain?

      I'm different to you, I see going to NZ as a really good opportunity.

      The Mrs. and I should be able to get jobs there £100K+, maybe even relocation.
      Invest some money and do a little building, I have all the contacts there.

      As for your second point, I'll leave you to work it through, alone

          Still here for a few more months as I have to plan the trip, maybe up to 6 months, that we are having before we even reach NZ.

              £100k , as in Sterling? What would be your equivalent permie salary in the UK?

              Just trying to see if salaries are about the same over there.

              I'm sick of the UK, or rather of what it is becoming.

                Yes, in GBP.

                As Senior person you can even get around £90K working for the government.

                The best Perm I have been offered here was £130K basic +£30K bonus+ bens as BI Practice Head.
                That was around 8 years ago.

                Likely to be less these days

                I would say £100K+ here would still be achievable for me here.

                  Heading towards 50 myself (they accept up to 57 for IT skill visa), but lucky I have family connections there too.

                  I'm really done with it here currently, shame to say, but that's how it is.

                  It may turn out to be a good thing, as whoever is in here they are going to be grabbing all they can tax wise .
                  Really, I had no idea they accepted that old, Oz is 30 isn't it? Thought I was too old but seems not...

                  Good luck with the move

                    There's a points calculator online, however, as long as you are under 57 you can go for it .

                      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
