PS if you're younger than 31 you can get the youth mobility visa to work in Iceland, that started only a few months ago, which is what I'm planning on utilizing
It’s absolute shit for young people and anyone who doesn’t own a home already. Pants on head insane house prices for cardboard walls and mould. Violent crime and especially gang crime is straight up scary now (though not as bad as the bad parts of America). I left NZ because my outlook was so bleak. I ended up in Denmark and couldn’t be happier. Australia is also a good bet and the women are GORGEOUS. Also Switzerland if you find a path to employment there. Norway is great. Many places in America are still great, despite the counter-jerk.
Things are not easy here but unless you are buying into the Conservative narrative that even the bad weather is Trudeau's fault, "getting out" is not really a better option...
