The UK is a EU member, will full rights and full obligations. Now, and at least for the next two years.

Brexit has not yet happened, by a long stretch of imagination. A letter has been delivered, nothing more and nothing less.

Supply chains have not changed, work rights have not changed, residence and movement rights have not changed, trade costs have not changed, taxation rules have not changed.

The only real change up to now has been the depreciation of the pound. That would mean that less foreign applicants are interested in moving to the UK, but there is less of an argument about whether UK nationals are more interested in moving to the rEU, for two reasons:

- less mobility of UK citizens, because of low proficiency levels in foreign languages

- higher rates / salary in the UK, which still holds even after the devaluation of the pound.

You will not see big changes in a long time, even if Brexit turns out to be a game changer (for the better or worse)
