I currently live in South Africa and well, I want a plan for a place to move to in the next 5 years max. The problem is i can’t decide where to go and as much as I love Australia, it feels too far from the time zones where all my people are.

So I have decided that Europe/UK would be perfect but can’t find a perfect fit. I have a UK passport

I am looking for:

  • mild weather. Not too bothered to be honest but not looking for a snow 8 months of the year or rain 8 months of the year. Ideally i just want a place that gets some sunlight, some rain, some cold and some hot days
  • low level or low acknowledgment of corruption. I want my taxes to do something -low crime rate
  • good work life balance with a decent opportunity for living. Currently working at a Big 4 consultancy so hoping I can have a nice enough lifestyle but not be working 24/7

I really like places like Netherlands, Scotland, Germany but have found various flaws. I also really like the Mediterranean

I don’t really like the UK but prefer something like Scotland. They just apparently get less sun than I’d like

    The oracle has left the building. And the way you act so privileged, but are relying on strangers for your life decisions is laughable. Are you perhaps entry level at Deloitte with no true international business experience apart from consulting for a couple months on projects in other countries? You know the local offices very much follow the local business culture? If you want to continue in your field, consider who your clients would be and where you could actually fit in (fitting in won’t be your call).

      lol it’s not that deep? You claim I am acting privileged because I asked people for suggestions? In fact, I asked people for suggestions because I have no clue where I would want to go? It sounds like you probably have some deeper wounds there because I was genuinely asking for help?

      I’m actually not entry level at Deloitte for your own information and want to relocate because my country is drowning in corruption? Perhaps I want to move so that I can achieve a better quality of life for me and my family?

      You replied to an honest post with a lot of directed criticism without considering the fact that maybe I want to build a relationship with a partnering firm in an international country in order to understand the firm and move there? And in order to do so, I am trying to understand which potential countries I should be looking at?
