Hi everyone
My girlfriend and I are thinking about moving to the UK to live for a couple years before we come back to Australia to settle down and produce spawn. We aren't planning on going until mid-2017 but I want to be as prepared as possible before heading out there. It definitely does not help that 2016 will be a big year with wedding planning and a new job amongst other things.
I am an accountant by trade (CA) and was hoping to land some contracting accounting work while I'm over there. She is a registered pharmacist and was hoping to work at a pharmaceutical company while there. She can't work as a pharmacist in the UK as it will require 12 months study followed by a 12 months internship so she's willing to halt her career for the time being and spend some time in the industry side of the business. We are both in our mid 20's if that makes any difference to things.
What are things we will need to consider and plan for before we hop over there? We have done some very high level research and plan to do a lot more. I am definitely keen to make sure we have as many bases covered as possible before we go though.
tl;dr My girlfriend and I want to live in the UK for a couple years. What do we need to consider?
It's cold and it rains a lot.
