Emigrating to work in California

[John145]

There are a lot of opportunities over there so I thought I'd ask for some advice.

Anyone done it and have any thoughts they'd like to share?

Also, what kind of annual salary would I require? I'll be bringing the missus who will probably not work for a while.

Thanks!

I'm confident in the VISA process as many colleagues have done the move so really wanting to know more about living in California, expectations for quality of life, what salary is required to be comfortable etc.

I'm degree educated with years of specialised engineering experience.

Probably looking for within an hours drive of Fremont. TBH so far doesn't sound so exciting!
