Ask HN: Any UK based devs leaving because of Brexit?

[north_east_dev]

This topic came up in another thread. I'm curious to hear what UK based devs are planning to do because of Brexit? Are you looking abroad? Or think it won't be a big deal?

I'm an immigrant living the UK. Didn't really have a plan when I was arrived but now I'm somewhat settled and married to a nice English girl. I don't think Brexit will hit us badly so I have no intention of leaving.

I had a job lined up in a different country just before the vote

I'm glad I'm out (of the UK), but it's more for political reasons than economic

Voting with my feet (even if I was leaving anyway)

I'm sure middle to high income earners will be ok. It's people on low incomes that will have a tough time, especially if the government starts scrapping workers rights

I'm also in the North East of the UK (Newcastle). I'd leave if I thought it'd be better elsewhere. Brexit is a big problem, but everywhere has some sort of local issue. I strongly suspect I won't leave.

As incompetently as the government is handling it, I suspect it won't be too bad in the end.

I've made some enquiries and am attempting to keep my options open
