I have just been offered a job in this area and we are trying to weigh up the pros and cons. Salary being offered is marginally more than UK salary - but we will be better off? Any thoughts/advice on local schools would be apperciated too. Is Kincardine a good place to stay, or are there nicer places nearby?
Any indicative relocation costs would be helpful - company are offering $30k, but not sure how far this will go.
Thanks
we made the same move from west cumbria nearly two years ago and dont regret a thing.
your standard of living for the salary will be much better over here.
the schools we have found are much better than the secondary schools on offer where we lived ( choice of millom or wyndham) our kids now 14 and 11 have both settled in well
there are currently 4 other familys from uk moved here in last couple of years and so far none of them regret it.
most choose to live in either kincardine or port elgin its a matter of personal preference.
this is certainly no more remote than where you live if you are on the west coast.
all in all i couldnt comment on the 30 k but should be enough i can ask some of the others to see how far that went.
rental accomadation is easy to get winter summer it may be tougher
