Relocating to Atlanta, USA for two years

26 replies

An opportunity has come up with DH's job for us to relocate to Atlanta for a couple of years. We have two children (8 and 6) and a dog.

Whilst I initially loved the idea of moving abroad for a couple of years (it's probably the last opportunity for us to do it and not impact kids' schooling), I'm now second guessing myself when I look into the practicalities.

Can anyone offer any insight about moving to Atlanta, or the US generally? Cost of living, quality of public schools, difficulty of relocating?

Can I continue working remotely for my UK company whilst there? I know I won't be able to get a job out there, but wasn't sure of tax / visa implications of working for a UK firm..

If Atlanta is the only option to move to the US then I would take it. One of the best things about living anywhere in the US is easy access to the whole country. So far this year, we’ve done trips to San Diego, Chicago and Miami, with plans to do Nashville, New Orleans, Michigan, Philadelphia, Orlando and Austin later in the year.
