Title says it all, really! I've been offered a new job which is a significant step up but it means a move away from my current office which is small and fairly rural. The options are Birmingham, London, Leeds or Aberdeen at the moment, though there are potentially other places too.
We're currently leaning towards Birmingham but know little about residential areas - have had a google and it looks like Bournville or Edgbaston may be the best places? Haven't entirely ruled out London but I know from colleagues that there is a very different working culture there (even though it's the same firm!), and we'd probably have to live, and rent rather than buy, in a not so pleasant area which wouldn't be great for the DCs. I know nothing about Leeds. Ditto Aberdeen.
I'm hoping some of you will have handy local knowledge? I'm currently trawling findaproperty.com, google maps, and googling mad stuff!!
I work for a big firm which has office locations all over the country (and overseas). At the moment I work in a small office, in a lovely rural location which has been great BUT now that I've been promoted within my specialism I've been asked to move to a bigger office. So my options so far are:x. I can't say I'm thrilled about having to move but we're willing to give it a go.
