What would you do? - Was in the FIG team of a BB in London

Was in the FIG team of a BB in London. little less than a year and I moved to a smaller name in HK for personal reasons. With shitty work and no transaction even after 8 months, I wanted to get back to a BB and now I can see a flicker of hope (in a London BB) but my concerns are: (1) almost 50% paycut due to high taxes and extra housing in HK and (2) outlook for London markets. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO.
