Decision to move to France

Before initiating the process, I had to take multiple aspects in consideration :

• Am I prepared to change my lifestyle ( financially and socially)
• How do I see my life in the mid term and long term
• What type of job can I find in France
• How is my career going to be affected
• Do I want to move all my belongings or part of it
• What to do about various savings in the US (401K, Roth etc…)
• Who can help me through the process
• If married or engaged, would my wife be willing and able to move as well
• How much money can I spend to execute this move

For my part, the decision was already taken; so, even though I took all these elements in consideration, I knew I would need to move to France.
