USA is vast, climate, economy, house prices, gun nutters as diverse as the whole of Europe.

At present, (2) seems the most likely outcome although (2a) might be possible.
I'm 98% sure ClientCo will terminate my contract if I decline the job. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.Comment

EDIT: But older than me, whereas US 'friend' is younger than me. Which is nice, or would be if she's a goerComment

Originally posted by Platypus View PostJob offer expected this week. I can,
(1) Move to the US as ClientCo permie, earn a lot, leave everything behind, dump the very nice GF Platypus before going, get there, work like a slave, be miserable, come back, lost everything. Optional: marry my US 'friend' who it turns out is a lunatic (as predicted on here) and/or frigid.
(2) Not move to the US, stay with GFP, likely have ClientCo say 'F you' and terminate my contract, be unemployed, lose everything.
Or another view,
(1a) Move to the US as ClientCo permie, earn a lot, leave everything behind, dump the very nice GF Platypus before going, get there, work like a slave, be happy, new life is a dream. Optional: marry my US 'friend' who it turns out is simply wonderful and a nymphomaniac.
(2a) Not move to the US, stay with GFP, likely have ClientCo say 'F you' and terminate my contract, find a new job (massively unlikely to be as well-paid as now, maybe in the local Waitrose), be employed, be happy (but poor) and thank my stars that I didn't emigrate.
I need to decide today.
What would you / Jesus / MF /Suity do ?
P.S. This really is my current situation

This all depends on how much you will regret not going...if even for a few months.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Tell UK Doris you're only going for 3 months. If life is better in Texas don't come back, if its rubbish come back early
