[IWantOut] 35M UK -> US or France/Spain

Background:

Single, hold dual US/UK citizenship, mid-30s, currently unemployed (though have a reasonable amount of work experience in client-management Market Research, which I thoroughly dislike and I'm crap at - I'm currently brushing up on my Analysis skills as that's what I'd prefer to do.

Aims:

So, long story short, I am totally at odds with life in the UK for a variety of reasons. Personally, I'd love to move to France or Spain, but that's really challenging as I don't speak either language, and obviously Brexit hasn't exactly helped - my only realistic option going to the Med would be to do some random masters and get a student visa that way and see if that pans out (it's risky, very expensive and probs wouldn't lead to obtaining a proper multi-year work visa, or whatever is they offer in those countries that's akin to the UK skilled worker visa).

So, my next best choice is obviously the US. Now, I've never lived in the US and the last time I visited was around 20 years ago, so I really don't know much about life there.

I've done some basic research on cities, and I've thought about 'older' places like Charleston and New England region, but I know the latter is freezing in the winter.

So yeah, please give me your thoughts! Have you moved from the UK to the US? If so, what was it like? was it worth it? Is the grass greener financially and socially? Are jobs easier to get? Are there better cities/areas than the ones I've mentioned?
