Escaping the city
Discussion
Me and my missus are in our early thirties, live in London, both have good jobs (she's on mat leave at the moment), and are happy living in our corner of suburban zone 4 west London.
Neither of us are born and bred Londoners, and we've talked about moving out of London at some point in the future, and getting lower paid (but less stressful) jobs in the provinces. Not planning an immediate move, as we still enjoy London, but will probably be looking to move in 8-10 years from now.
I worked for a Big Four accountancy firm for four years before moving into other various financial services roles, so I (perhaps naively) hope I could get back into an audit role in the provincial offices of these firms, but I don't know how easy this will be.
There's a lot of chat in some of the house price threads about how London is overpriced and generally not worth the hassle, so has anyone on PH made a similar move - any advice or tips?
