Yes. In fact, he only accepted out of desperation and has continued interviewing in case something better came up...you're right, a lucky escape!

Ugh, sorry to hear it. This is a stab in the dark, but is your husband by any chance in the sort of area where a UK company may be able to hire him as an E-1 treaty trader?
Also, are you entertaining the possibility of going home? As Ian likes to remind us, desperation can make us do silly things, and home may be the safest bet.

Sorry too.
Even with the notice period, we felt very insecure with my husband's employment and that played into our move back.
