Tyna1: Did you get intouch with him?

dnative:

Never say never. Depends on individual situation. I had two friends move down from the US to London just over 3 years ago and so far they haven't regretted it. Maybe because of the field they're in. Both are software development contractors with top investment banks in central london. The gap between what they are making now compared to what they were making in the similar job in the US is incredible, 'ori iya charlie' being a major factor. One of them was able to pay off his mortage in US recently.

Like the poster said, ignoring superficial stuffs like the yankee accent, the big cars, big houses, 10-lane freeways, one would have to consider a combination of factors really. But then again, it really boils down to what the concerned individuals are doing in the US and what they would be coming to do in the UK. There might be very good reasons to move down and there might be good reasons not to.

Thus far, this has been the best answer. This is the reason i posted this to begin with. My friend is in the health field and no it isn't nursing. She likes the place and don't mind downsizing so to speak but worried about jobs there and opportunities. Thanks for your input.

Jesu! Look at the filth! Lord have mercy!

lol. Thats what i told her too but she said that she likes the Uk. That's why am asking those who live there

The person is moving to go be with family. Pls serious replies only.

Is that a snark comment?

Question: Do you guys think it is a good idea to move to the UK from the US? I'm not talking about superficial stuff like what England looks like etc but job outlook, economic status, way of life, raising children, and life in general? Someone I know is thinking of moving there and I would love to hear what y'all have to say. Thanks in advance!

This guy is a joker. we have noticed you. now go and quench

Good for you
