Mario Can you please expand on the comment that you agree with, "the UK Tech scene is dead".

What's actually going on within the UK tech jobs landscape? What about certain sectors like fintech? What about all the recent AI startups hiring? What are your on-ground observations?

Within my LinkedIn feed bubble, things are not that bad in the UK, but what is actually happening?

A career pivot sounds interesting. Any ideas or recommendations for others considering this? I have seen someone leave SWE to become a commercial pilot which was pretty cool.

Yeah Austin is the first city that comes to mind. Everyone that was screaming "California is dead" in 2020-22 mostly moved to Austin.

Ironically, many have moved back to Cal/SF for the AI boom.

Your last point is really valid. I think these "remote boom cities" were only "Covid Boom cities" and that kind of grow is just not sustainable for these cities anymore.
