I'd turn the job down even if it were offered. In common with many I have no interest in it.
I do nothing special beyond reading things that don't confirm my own biases. It was doing such things that made me change my mind about the whole thing from being vehemently Brexit.
It even taught me some stuff about WTO membership, trade deals, most favoured nation status, etc, so I know why businesses are so concerned.
Maybe give it a shot some time.
Pretty funny seeing you comment on how the UK will be fine in 5 years, suggesting you expect no negative impact at all, while the post you quoted above mine was a guy expecting the pain to last 5+ years and potentially cost him personally half a million. Divergent opinions are always more interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised, but do you really see that much of a choice? Trade deals, even covering just goods, will take years. Financial services equivalence requires the EU's agreement, passporting Single Market access.
