An update on this, and an unexpected twist....
Just as I was close to finalising terms in early July, I got an unexpected offer for an internal role that allowed me to get the same salary jump as I would have got for moving to Boston - but staying in Dublin. It was a no-brainer as the role is both more interesting and probably has better long-term potential as well.
I managed not to annoy my current boss as the new role will benefit him too so a win all round.
So we are going nowhere.
Still a sense of regret among us all but we'll go over for a holiday next year. All advice was gratefully received even if now redundant!
