I do not have European citizenship but am eligible for an Ancestry Visa which allows me to live in the UK for 6 years before I can get citizenship. I can work in NZ and Australia with no restrictions.
I am applying for graduate positions in NZ now however it is a small market and I don't really like living here (low wages, isolated, poor quality women) and I want to get out. Long term I don't see myself remaining very connected to NZ as the main draw cards of this place aren't high in my personal values. At this point in my life I want to live in a vibrant urban environment with close travel options and benefit from and have the opportunity to work on my language skills.
I think you should also be applying for grad positions in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, London, and if you like Oz - Melbourne and Sydney. Until you get more work experience Asia will be hard to crack, so out of all the above, I would recommend London. London is an awesome city to live in when you are in your 20s, tons of hot girls to game, and plenty of career options.
Thanks. Yeah I'm leaning toward London. I had looked into some of the big Asian cities but without speaking any of the languages and no real experience it would be tough to break in. And I'm not really interested in the teaching English route. With London I could try work something out while I'm studying in Europe and I know that when you're on the ground and put yourself out there new opportunities can open up. I spent four days there last year and loved it, and it would be a good base to see more of Europe. Plus at this point I'm more into European girls.
