Hi, I have been made an offer of employment in Chicago and I now need to know everything before starting the negotiations over salary and relocation packages. I have a wife and a two year old daughter, I assume my wife won't be able to work. I also need to understand the school system, we currently pay £6000 per annum for nursery care, is there an equivelant? Finally which areas of Chicago are nice (the job is in Schaumberg) and what financial stuff do I need to consider?

well i've gotta tell you that while schaumburg is near chicago it is not chicago. So any website you go to and type chicago wont help you. schaumburg is about 40 min drive outside of chicago depending on where you are. Its close enough to be convinient but it is a different city. If you have a zip code for your new house/job area try doing an internet phone book search for day care in that area and call them. They should be the best place to ask about area schools and prices for child care. Other than that i wish i could help you but i life 5 mins outside chicago so i know nothing about schaumburg. Hope this helps!
