Any advice on easiest way for a US citizen (and family) to move to London area? Have always loved the area, but not sure of the most viable path to get there. Currently senior director of strategy in the consumer sector with deep experience in my industry. Would consider going back to BCG which I loved, but haven’t explored yet. Are any companies willing to consider US citizens generally? Are there any good headhunters? Thanks all

Find roles that are similar to what you are already doing, be open to them that you will need sponsorship. Senior roles in industry and consulting should be ok with sponsoring. Companies generally don’t (at least in my experience) and shouldn’t actually care about your citizenship, as long as they can sponsor.

How long are you looking to move for? Internal transfer is easiest route but does not get you time towards residency.

Job market is hot right now so whilst some orgs won’t sponsor, I’m betting others who wouldn’t normally consider sponsoring would.

It’s possible!

I think most employers are processing Skilled Worker visa for internal transfers as well post brexit so it is counted towards residency.

All things aside, this move would make absolutely no sense from a comp perspective. But you already know that :)

It’s easy, you find a job, take a massive pay cut and have a really chill lifestyle.

My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…
