Right first of I appologise for the length of this post in advance but just wanted to gather a bit of info! I have done loads of research but always best to get further info
1) Basically I have been offered a Job in Tuaranga and am weighing up if to take the big jump or not! I will give a few details on offer as feel would help with replies ... so its basic $70,000 + bonus (im currently on £24,000 in uk and no bonus), return airflight, $1,500 relocation costs, medical insurance plus a few other benefits, but have to sign 3 year contract .... first and foremost would this be a good wage to live on in the area? My lifestyle in uk is play football 3 times a week, memeber of a gym, out on a sat night and nice meals 2/3 times a month, cinema 2/3 times a month.
2) About me ... im early 30s and like outdoors life, beach, walking, cycling etc so like the look of the area and would be coming over with partner who is mid 20s .... she is worried the area may not having much going on for young people so anyone info on nightlife and if its a 'happening' area.
3) Job opportunitys for partner - whats jobs like in the area? She has - 1st class degree and distiction in her masters in english and works in PR/Marketing writing website content, brochures, profiles etc. She is worried that wont be much opportunity there, we have used loads of jobsites found and not much in terms of marketin/pr. Looked at prioty one as as well
To sum up would love to hear info on tauranga/bay of plenty and the area. It is mainly my partner who as reservations, if it was just me would just take the plunge .... im lucky with my job could move to NZ and if didnt like could easily just jump straight back into work elsewhere.
Anyway hope to hear from people and thanks for reading
