Hi. Just a few questions back, where is your Co. based ? Will they pay for moving ? You need health insurance, who pays, are you British ? Who will do all the necessary paperwork to get you and your family the needed visas . Cars are cheap, food is cheap , compared to Europe, Housing in SF is expensive . But assume Singapore isnt cheap either. Is the position in USA long term ? I did the same as you, but alone , 11 yrs ago rfrom UK, and to the east coast, i chose where i wanted to live, ended up in Ashville NC . So much depends on the support of the Co. your working for and long term prospects. Good luck

Hi thanks for the response!

So the company is a tech company based in San Francisco Bay Area. I will get relocation package for the family, visas arranged, healthcare included in package.

The position is long term and I don't expect to leave under 5 years. I am British but as I said i live in Singapore working for the same company presently.

I'm just really concerned that I need insight into appropriate levels of comp for a good standard of living on par with Singapore or U.K. Obviously the ability to save 3-4K a month would be nice too but probably a big ask...

Hi. North of bay is warmer and cheaper than south , would think prices similar to UK , property is smaller than other parts of US again like UK. My wife lived north of Berkley , for around 10 yrs El Cerrito is also a good area. Its a great area to live in. We now live on the nature coast of Florida. 55 miles north of Tampa.
