While startup capital flows in, the growth story is very different, and for those living in the UK, it isn't what it seems.

There aren't any jobs in the UK and most are offshored to other low CoL countries.

Young people, founders are leaving for other places like Dubai, Singapore and even SF for higher paying jobs.

This doesn't seem true, I work in a UK tech company and it's an incredibly international team. My team has three Brits (including me), a Norwegian, a Swede, a Pole, and an American. The CEO is Irish, the CTO is German/American.

Obviously that's just one data point, but every tech company is similar.
