I have some UK colleagues who moved to Florida - their verdict is Hurricanes bad, property prices good, jobs and salary good, weather mostly good, insects, ok, work culture iffy, general life really good. All in, better than living in small house in the south of England with a large mortgage, and near enough to the UK to make coming home easy.
The bonus is getting up on a saturday and watching the Premier League and EFL all day from the air conditioned lounge or pool side!
You can be let go in a week, no redundancy process, just a case if we'd like you to leave in a week. Plus maternity/paternity leave is a bit basic. Not show stoppers, but you have to adjust from a generous UK. It's different in California but they can still let you go.
But some taxes are way lower than over here
Oh and the other thing. DMV lines, apparently they are awful, especially if you don't like queuing in hot public buildings with smelly people.
