My wife has a potential opportunity to work in the UK for 1-2 years. I would go with her as a dependent on her visa (as I understand this is how it works).
At this stage in my career, would this move be good or bad for my career in the long term? I am an American with an American architecture degree, six years of experience working in NYC, with the long term intention of pursuing an American license and working in America.
In reading up on the subject, there seems to be the possibility for some long term disadvantages. One of my fears in doing this would be to make a mistake that I regret down the road.
Is it better to go or not? What kind of unexpected challenges might i run into while I'm there? And more importantly, What kind of unexpected challenges might i run into when I get back?
my opinion would be that the problems you face by working in the uk for a couple years are probably pretty much the same as the problems you would face if worked stateside for a couple years.

American Architect (6 years exp) interested to work abroad in the UK for 1-2 years. Is this a good long term decision?
