Triple is a lot
It sounds like this is more about you having a gf in the UK than any other logistical matter so if that’s the case, identify that as the clear reason you’re hesitating. If you want to stay close to her, sure that’s a reasonable decision and make that with conviction. But if you want to take this opportunity either marry the gf and bring her w you or set a timeline w yourself and her as a trial period after which you decide you either go back to the UK or you get married and she makes the move to the US.
As a European who has immigrated to the US, I think its also important to consider that getting a visa to live and work here is almost impossible without a family sponsor or an intracompany transfer like you have the opportunity to do here. So if living in the US even for a short while is something you’re remotely interested in, understand that these opportunities are extremely rare and you should likely take it now that you have the chance.
I now visit them about once a year but that is because I have a husband so we split holidays w his family and do our own travel so there’s a financial and time limit consideration and because I’m not particularly close to my family to begin with. I went to college in the US too and during those years I would visit them twice a year.
The main hurdles with visiting family overseas are time and money. On a consultant’s salary, esp if no kids yet, the money aspect shouldn’t really be too much of an issue. If you have a relatively generous PTO policy and / or the ability to work remotely for a week or two, I think its feasible to visit them more often. (Keep in mind that there may be legal and compliance limitations to how much time you can spend working remotely from Europe). My family is also from a part of Europe that is expensive to travel to (tourist destination) and has no or almost no direct flights from US. So I would think that flying to the UK would be both less costly and faster. I will say that if visiting them as often as possible is your goal, by definition, you will likely have to limit any travel you may wanna do to other places as you’ll have to dedicate your time and money to flying to the UK.
Can be a safe and fun way to experience working in a different environment, enchanting your resume, if you have the option of going back after 1-2 years.
US health care system has a ton of issues, but the unfortunate reality is that for well paid folks it’s not that bad. Even if your US insurance doesn’t cover certain things, there is a catastrophic limit above which everything is covered. And that catastrophic limit is ver likely much smaller than your pay delta.
And you’ll likely save a decent amount over housing if you’re going to live outside of Manhattan or SF
It’s more about not being able to regularly see my girlfriend than my family actually. A round trip easily takes two days, assuming I’d work on the east coast, so it’s not sth you’d do on a weekly basis…
Take the job. Subcontract the work to me and pay me 2/3 of your salary. Stay in UK full time so everything else can remain the same.

Why do you think you would hardly see your family?
