Any thoughts appreciated.

your going as a family? expect more of a cost for you...kids will need to go into private schools....no whites in the state schools...a lot of racism towards the whites..Im assuming your colour of course

OK thanks for your reply ~ I'm not sure it's worth uprooting us.

As for a salary...depends what you do isn't it!
The cost of living is on a par with the UK with the exeption of houses/rentals and cars!!! V.expensive on that front.

Re: Bermuda - Whats your opinion?
Hey designer112, that sounds like a good salary to me... I am on nowhere near that in my country. I wonder what they will offer me in BMD money?
So I'm guessing if its not more than 60BMD, I'll have to say no...
I certainlydont want to be struggling... Its a long way to go for a struggle.
What kind of position have you been offered.
