I don't dislike live in the UK, I've got a good standard of living, I hate the weather though...the pissing rain, does become rather tiresome..
Spend some time travelling though US whilst at Uni and I've been to a few cities on business - do I know what it's like to live in the US? Can't say that I do, however, I'd like to give it a go.
Having moved around a bit since Uni, live is not easy when you move away, however, whether I am in Northampton. London,. Manchester or Newcastle - whilst not the same as moving to the US, there are some parallels, in that you have to make new friends etc.
Being an avid golfer, I would prefer the Southern states, one would have to go where the job was though...

These aren't reasons' not to give it a go, it's certainly worth having a go, but it's something to consider that people often don't. When your in a new country, you don't have friends and family as a social network to help you out, not having any credit history, dealing with USCIS, it can all be very frustrating.

...all of which is pretty academic, because there isn't a hope in hell of him getting an H1-B with his background. It just isn't going to happen. If there's one thing America's got quite enough of, thank you very much, it's salesmen. However good he is at his job, I don't believe he could ever find a company he could persuade to hire him when there are 10,000 US citizens who could do the job too.
