Yes the beaches are great and there is now a rocket company here but really after a holiday of a few years their gaze will start to look to the heavens.
I agree. We made a decision to return to NZ a few years ago, but that came at a significant cost in terms of salary, experience and ability to travel. It's a trade-off we accepted and we were definitely happy to return home, but for many, once the pandemic passes and it will eventually, they are likely to leave for greener pastures. Remote working isn't the panacea it is made out to be.
