Right, thats about everything covered I think :o) Brianos Lifestyle consultant -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Spencer Sun Sent: 21 September 2004 02:59 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] OT: Advice Sought Hi, folks. I have been offered a position in the UK, which I am scheduled to start in December, assuming my work permit is issued. Since, I've lived in the US all my life, and have only been to London 3 times, I would like to ask for some advice from the Brits on the list, though any input is welcome. Assuming an annual salary of 50K (nice round number), what might take home pay be? What areas for housing should I be looking at? The office is located in Gerrard's Cross, but I'll be doing loads of travelling, so I don't think that I need to be in that area, exactly. I plan on taking the bare minimum of possessions and re-acquire what I need when I get over. This includes my car. I'll be getting a car allowance. Does this seem like a prudent plan? Any advice would be appreciated, especially any items that I don't know to ask. Perhaps, if there are any ex-pats on the list, you'd be willing to advise me. Thanks in advance, Spencer Sun ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor triCerat: Have you had your fill of printing support calls, unauthorized apps running on unsecured Terminal Servers, profile headaches, and application performance problems?
