Re: Moving to Orange County from London

If helpful I was on $150k in NYC for a period and took home about $7750 every month. Once you've factored in your healthcare premiums you might be better thinking about a round $8k as a budgetting...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

I'm not sure taxes are that much meaningfully lower in states like CA and NY once you factor in state and local taxes. Bills and living expenses vary. The cost of groceries in NYC was a shock. $5 for...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

I would temper your expectations about it being a significant salary increase. £70k to $155k is probably about equivalent Quality of Life and spending power in LA. It's more of a salary match than an...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

$155k sounds quite low for a consultant.

How many years experience do you have and what was your salary in the UK?

Re: Salary Comparison - London to New York

You'd probably cry if you saw the apartment. It was a very weird little place that didn't have a proper kitchen and a bathroom that hadn't been renovated since the 70s. But for those prices and the...

Re: Moving to the Bay area - need help with public school minefield!

This is a worry. Some relocation assistance would be the bare minimum you should expect for an international move. Are they upping your husbands salary to reflect the move?

Re: Infant passport/Urgent Travel

If your flight isn’t until June 10th you probably have time to get an American passport before you travel.

My sons only took 6 weeks from application to passport in hand.

Re: Looking for a nice wee school in Scotland

Dunblane is very popular for people looking to commute to both Edinburgh and Glasgow and it's easy to jump in the car and head north into the highlands. Schools are very good too.

Re: Global Entry and L1 Visa - wrong i94

If I remember correctly the PED overrides the I94 so even if your i94 said one thing if the underlying status has expired your i94 is irrelavent.
