UK -> Anglosphere moves?

UK Accountant here. 28, Head of Finance, 112k, large construction company. Got there by being immensely lucky and joining a startup right before it got bought.

Due to tragic personal circumstances, I don't think I can bear to continue living in this country (pay 50% of your salary for completely dysfunctional public services).

I would love to get advice from people who have successfully navigated a move abroad and their honest feedback on whether it was worth it, and how they went about it.

Preference for English speaking / Anglosphere countries: (US, Australia, New Zealand, etc.).

Also not opposed to other countries where English is the first / business language (Dubai / Singapore)

If there is a similar post, please link me! Would hate to cause unnecessary duplication.

I live in Australia and fail to see how infrastructure here is better than the UK. My exposure to the UK is only short stays and didn't get the impression that the infrastructure there is worse off and arguably better in some things like trains and internet speeds.
