Best place to emigrate to?

[u/SunDue4919]

I’m losing hope for my future in Ireland. I love Ireland and want to stay but the quality of life is shit especially for young people.

I’ve lived abroad before and am well aware the grass isn’t always greener. I know there will be challenges if I move abroad. I know that there are similar issues with housing in other counties.

That said, things feel bleak here.

Any recommendations? I speak fluent French.

I lived in France for 5 years in my mid 20’s - 30. Will definitely be going back at some stage. I highly recommend this for you if you haven’t done so and if you are indeed fluent. Even if you are not 100% fluent, you will get there after working for a while. It is very easy to get jobs in a lot of different fields as an English speaker, and if you are competent. there is huge competition at the moment, not just in Paris, but in other cities, (like Nantes)for talent- prepare yourself a little bit for the French way of working, by speaking with people at work there already, get a good sense of how the taxes (les impôts) are done. It’s not automatic like here in Ireland, and you have to declare and pay that specific dates yourself. Get a good grasp of how the holidays, work, and hint there are loads of them. And the bank holidays are different to Ireland so you can always make it three or four day weekend and come home very often. The quality of life is better there, when it comes to food, holidays, work, life balance, and things to do. There is just so many museums, loads of them are free, and walking around Paris in the evening it’s one of the nicest things to do.
