Hi, I currently live in England (have done so all of my life) and am
seriously thinking of moving (this country is beginning to really
dishearten me - that's another story though).

A few months ago my company sent me to America to trial some
equipment.

I really enjoyed the lifestyle there, the weather, stuff is much
cheaper, houses much nicer/cheaper, nice people, ladies :) etc. Also
my American counterparts also got paid a lot more than myself.

I'm just wondering how hard it is to move to America (with regard to
entry requirements, age, trade skills etc).

I am looking at saving money now and moving in 3 to 4 years, at which
point I will be 27 years old. I will by that point have over 6 years
experience with embedded systems, C, DSP and MFC in the communications
field (I graduated in 2001 with a degree in Electronic & Computer
Engineering). I will have also completed my PhD (if all goes to plan).

I am looking to move to the east coast, and am wondering how much
(ball park figure), I would be looking at earning?

The house prices here are really high also, I'm just wondering how
much a 2 bedroom house would cost on the east coast (I'm not sure if
that's answerable, but a ballpark figure for a 2 bed house on the east
coast would be great).

Thanks in advance for any help, hints, or advice, it is very much
appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chris
