All well and fine in a normal situation, whereby you can finish work at the end of the day and go home and unwind. However, for sure, you and your small team will be sharing accommodation - which leads to another question... in a rural costal area, what will that accommodation be exactly.... a portacabin?
I found myself in a similar situation to you in 2003. I left my job in South Wales to move to London on a two year contract.
Friends said I was crazy to pack in my job that I'd held for 23 years, for a relatively short-term employment opportunity.
My salary 3x in London doing exactly the same work, but it wasn't mainly about the money, I knew I had to make a change or otherwise I'd never get out of the rut I was in.
I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made.
