After a telephone interview a month ago, I have been invited for a face-to-face meeting at my employer's Guildford office (I am not changing employers, just location from Seattle to Guildford) next week.
If all goes well and I am offered a job, I will likely be allowed to choose between Guildford or Newbury as my work location. What are the views here on either of these places? I only know Guildford is south of London near Gatwick, while Newbury is west near Reading. Which one offers a better quality of life (which to me means relatively open spaces, good infrastructure, and a good 400meter running track!).
Besides this, what should I be asking my hosts in general about life in these 2 areas? Transport system and access to trains is important, and so is a safe and crime-free area (although I would not explicitly ask this lest the person I ask lives in the area!). What else?
Thanks.
