Given that many want to work remote, the good things we hear about New Zealand, how difficult it is to get in, and that Billionaires are reserving space to prepare for Climate change related risks elsewhere, I was under the impression that people would want to get to NZ and stay put there. This is the sentiment among some of the people I talk to.

It's a beautiful country but because of the small population there's a lack of opportunities, especially compared to the US or even Australia. The time zone makes remote work difficult too.

If I had already established a career and wanted to settle down I'd probably like NZ more, but I feel like I'm missing out by being in NZ compared to somewhere more populous like the US or Europe.

How old are the people you're talking to? For reference, I'm 23 and just started my career.

True, agree NZ is a great place to work. In fact, I quite enjoy my lockdown-free life in NZ.

This was my thought as well.
