I've gotten an offer to move to the UK (not even sure where, yet) and work for at least 1year. The pay would be US $250k. I have a wife and 3 kids.

I would have some options as to how to get paid...most likely I would choose to draw a salary in the US, and wire myself whatever funds we need for living expenses. This part is a grey area, it would take some investigation to decide what is the best choice. I will be 'working' for a private US company, who has no presence in the UK.

The problem is I have to decide very quickly, within a couple weeks. I've just started my search for info, but I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to a story or description about someone who went through something similar. Main questions I have at this point are:

1) Is this even possible?

2) My kids are school-age. Would they be able to attend school in the UK, or would it be easier/better to simply keep them out? I suppose this would be the choice if we were going to claim to just be on vacation in the UK for a year.

And a bunch of other questions I don't even know to ask yet.

Any links to relevant info would be greatly appreciated...I don't need to solve all the problems right now, I just need to decide if it can even be done.

 

Sorry, one more bit of info that may be relevant. My 'job' will entail setting up an office and filling it with local people, and managing it for a year while I train someone to manage it permanently.
