I don't know a single french entrepeneur that doesn't think about leaving the country if its start up starts to become successful. And those who are successful all tell me either to not hire anyone ( work with contractors instead), or leave the country.
Our culture is rotten to its core. Emmanuel macron is trying to change that, but he has no power at all, and every single president is scared to death of the risks he would take by going too far on the liberal side ( liberal candidate never make more than 10% ). French like big, safe, and conservative structures. They complain a lot about it, and then vote for the candidates that promise to maintain the status quo.
