Hey Folks
I have an internal job opportunity for a large American multi national company.
If successful I'll move to VA with my wife and 4 kids (2, 5, 7, 12)
My employer will sort all the legal requirements visas ect.. What I don't know is what considered a living wage or to live comfortably in VA (Chantilly, Leesburg, Herndon, Vienna). As great as my employer is they are quite closed in negotiations with wages.
I'm expecting $120k, but I've been told the areas close to the offices are expensive for both rent and purchase.
I understand this is a very ambiguous question, and really depends on our expected standard of living. I know that I'm in a good position but I'm still unsure if the wage will be enough to support 6 people
We live modestly in Ireland at the moment don't intend to live a flash/high life in USA. If we are still in USA by college age the kids will return to Ireland for college education (if feasible) My wife an I will unlikely fund their education.
Any help would be great!
