I'm a Japanese girl getting married to an English guy next year. But we are planning to move to the West Coast since my company has a branch there.
He earns 450 pounds per day in UK, and he's been offered for a position permanetnly for 80-120K + pension + insurance. But we're both not sure how good this offer is, as we have never lived in the States before.
Especially, I haven't lived in both UK or US, so I don't have a clue. Thinking of myself getting a job for 50K (guessing) anualy, would this be enough to have familly and kids, with a safe place to live?
I'm seriously seeking for guidance.

Stick to the U K. £450 per day for a 5 day week ?
You will not beat that.
You, young lady can get a good job in the restautants in Chinatown. They pay well. Think of the free grub.
Stick to the U K. There is NO place like it.....and £240 a day. YOU WOULD BE MAD TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

Your man is currently earning GBP117K a year. To get an equivalent salary in the US he would have to be earning over USD 200K. The cost of living in a San Francisco is probably going to be similar to London (maybe slightly lower, but not significantly). Your man is doing very well where he is, so stay put in the UK as you should both be able to have a good life on his current salary.
Good Luck

Unless you have absolutely no financial responsibility, you'll be just fine. That's a good offer. You'll be able to get a spot, go out and take some vacations. Assuming, of course, you don't shop like Emelda Marcos.
