Has anyone moved from the UK back to the USA in recent years and have any recommendations/tips for how to move belongings? We’ve looked at shopping all our stuff but it’s mega expensive - any companies/providers you’ve used?

I don’t have any experience moving from the UK. But one of my close friends moved here from Switzerland. Unfortunately, I don’t think she would have many tips for you because she didn’t move her entire life. She just came with a few things and bought the rest of it here leaving her other stuff at her family‘s home in Switzerland. I’ll check with her and come back if she has any recommendations

Has anyone tried to build credit in a foreign country prior to relocating?

My fiancé moved abroad for med school. Long distance is hard but I love my job, the work, the people, and the culture. I wish there were roles where you could work abroad. I wish I could work here forever, but I’ll likely need to switch to a firm that allows working abroad at some point to save the marriage. I’m afraid to tell anyone because I want to maximize my time/contribution here. Thoughts? Advice? Does anyone know of good firms that allow abroad work?
