Michelleh, I implore you to read every post on this board regarding living in this country before making the decision to come here. Although you say money isn't a major factor, I can tell you now, the cost of living here is rising at a rate of knots. The difference between having a positive experience and hating this country can come down to $$$$. You need to ensure you have a comfortable home, money to buy little luxuries and to take weekend escapes.
I would not recommend you coming here under your 'own steam' to find a job. Take the advice of other posters and secure a role offshore. You will receive better benefits.
The culture of this country makes the work environment extremely challenging. The more support you have, the more likely you are to enjoy your experience here.
