Hi there we also moved over in August and we have had no regrets

We sold up and moved. Bringing our belongings was a good start to making us feel immediately at home

We moved to limassol area in an outlying village as it is less touristy and more job ops available. I notice you are in accounting and sales. Thse are two of the most advertised jobs in the papers.
My advice would be to get over here on a holiday and look around. Do not stay in a hotel as there is the temptation to stay there. Book a villa or apartment in a residential area and spend a couple of weeks talking to the expat locals and not those on holoiday. The local pub is a good start Everyone is friendly and is willing to share there experiences

Wages are lower but the cost of living can be cheaper it depends how you live . Renting is good unless you really know where you want to be and my advice if buying is a resale and not off plan. With a resale you know what you are getting, what is built around you and that it will be ready to move into on time

Use the internet and research as there is lots of good advice around

Our motto was give it a try, moving back is easier than living with regrets in years to come
best of luck
