What’s your income in London? The easy solution is to move somewhere else in Europe where the life quality is much higher (that’s my plan), another option is to jump between companies to get higher TC.

Get yourself some peerage first, commoner. Then ask for higher comp. That’s what I’ve been told, at least.
