Job opportunity in England

Yep why the hell not go. You're young and have the chance to do it. I'm older and I'd still jump on the chance to go like that I think. I wasn't aware of the France thing at all with the year visa. Though I imagine you would have to speak french which would pose a problem as I know nothing of their language. England would rock to work...

I think its a wonderful opportunity, and though it may be a pay cut, its a cultural experience that would be amazing for you. As long as you've gone through the pro's and cons and come up with more pro's than cons to go over, I see no reason why you shouldn't allow yourself to have this unique experience. It will be a lot different than your change in moving to the US, but that doesn't mean it will be bad. You're probably torn because its a big overwhelming step to go through, but you're only 26, like me, and we're both still young. What a better time to go than when you are young and full of life and can jump right into the scene in a new place? Even if you don't stay over there long term, I think you'd have a lot of fun exploring everything.

I have actually done what you are talking about. But to be honest, I wouldn't do it for a 30% cut in wages. My experience was a bit of a nightmare. Would I do it again? Yes, but not in the same country I was in, and never for 30% less salary.

Unfortunately they denied my counter-offer on salary and did not come back with their own offer. So I will not be able to take the position at this time. Perhaps near the end of the year.
