Hi everyone,
As a young couple looking into the possibility of moving to USA we thought we'd check out the forums to obtain 'real' advice.
Little bit about us:
1. I am 28, have a BA(Hons) in Japanese and Marketing and also have CIM qualification. Start my MBA in couple of weeks via distance learning. Spent 6 years in the police Special Branch as a fast track graduate and now work in Marketing Management.
2. My wife is also 28 and although she doesn't have a degree, she's been a manager for various financial service providers most of her working life.
3. We have a 2 year old son
4. Both of us a British born with no familial ties to America.
We're both absolutely committed to moving abroad - we both appreciate that opportunities abound everywhere and it's up to us to make what we do a success. I was in Chicago last year and loved it. Areas we would think about are:
- Chicago
- Los Angeles
- California
- Suburban districts of NY
To be honest, because we're both inexperienced in any of this can anyone please advise if there's any realistic chance of us being successful, and would it generally depend on securing a job before applying? Presumably we'd have to be pretty amazing for an employer to put all that extra work in?
So, any advice would be grateful.
Thanks
