    Are you keeping the wages or are they going to pay you like the Brits? The wages are gonna be the most important one. If you can keep the US wages I say move. I personally love London more than NYC. But if I have to get paid like the Brits I wouldn’t be in London. Cost wise I feel like it’s the same. Especially if you maintain your US standards. Rent it’s about the same for me. 2 bedrooms apartment in Canary wharf cost me £3700 per month. If I get 2 bedrooms in Manhattan it probably will cost me about the same for the same standard of apartment. Traveling is cheaper here especially if you go by flights to mainland Europe but if you take the train it will cost you the same as taking a flight in the US. Dating part I can’t tell you lol since I have a partner already since the US.



  • Racism in Europe is worse than Canada and the US. I was an expat in Germany a few years back and even then I feel it big time. The problem is you’ll never be the first class citizen there. They will always look at you as second class. I’m in the UK now which to be honest is much better than mainland Europe. London is probably the most diverse city in the UK and Europe. So I don’t feel different. Plus even though I’m south east Asian I’m an American and in the UK there are many Americans I feel like a bit like home sometimes lol. So no plan B. Worst comes to worst I just come home to the states. No big deal.

    Bought the M5 from the welt. If I were you i probably stay and use the experience to get a higher income job later on. Munich is nice when you get good wages. It gets old real quick when the wages sucks. You are in the most expensive city in Germany. I was there for about 2 years. My biggest irk was the food diversity. So boring lol and the Asian foods are laughable.
