I won't rain on your parade by saying there's so much overhead sunlight in here that some people have to block it out with poster board.....

I've had the misfortune of working in a windowless office space for too long. On Sunday, July 8, 2012, Patrick Salmon wrote: BTDT. Having moved from London to Paris to DC a while back I can attest that your greatest challenge is the reality of "two nations divided by a common language" and the myriad of cultural differences. Job wise, if you've got the skills (note: with 'skills' including interpersonal, and not just limited to technical) you'll be fine. It'll be your adventure, and I'd be the first to encourage you to go for it, but language and culture *will* bite you. Some examples: an English accent can be a liability. I'm now expert at spotting when someone to whom has gone into "that sounds really good" mode rather than listening to the critical (to them, usually) information. Sure, I've modified my accent a chunk but 18yrs on that one comes up regularly. Bet you're accustomed to working in office with windows and natural light? Well, it's the law there. Not so here. A high-paying wonderfully titled job could lead you to what you'd consider a broom cupboard. Or you could do like I did and tell the realtor you want a 3 bed house with a garden. Obvious enough, right? Wrong. We narrowly avoided homelessness by changing 'garden' to 'yard', but wouldn't have otherwise known. The list goes on. Good luck!

Just wondering what the US IT jobs market is like at the moment (probably mainly contract work) to see if it is worth us giving this some serious thought. I am utterly disenchanted with the UK at the moment and would be glad to relocate somewhere better before my kids get too old.
