London vs Paris:where to live and work?

As you know considering all the facts (especially Brexit) in which one do you think is better to live and study?
With Macron I think Paris will face with a big growth (deregulations, tax down, tobin tax and capital gain out)
Maybe france is best bet for the future?
Feel free to explain your point

Geo-politics is completely irrelevant. If you are a baller, you will be a baller anywhere. If you are not a baller, moving cities won't make you one.

 

Actual unemployment is even higher than that considering that a lot of the recent improvement in the unemployment rate is due to (younger) people taking on temporary jobs. Let's hope for the French that Macron's team can push through some changes in the labor market. He, so far, doesn't even have an established power base in the parliament. I don't agree with him on some of his points and plans, but he is certainly better than Marine Le Pen.

 

I feel that London is still ahead if you intend to be at the heart of European finance. S&T is basically dead in France. Bonuses are heavily caped. You won't be exposed to as many cross-border deals as you would in London. Sometimes the heart of the deal will be negotiated by the teams in London and not in France (except obviously for French banks).

 

Minima vero omnis aut tempora sunt. Aut quia corrupti nihil expedita sed. Quo adipisci error quae eum omnis. Tenetur sunt et consequatur ea quaerat omnis consequuntur.
