As someone who made Aliyah in 1988 and is still here, I say yes to Aliyah. If you find your place, you will not regret your decision. But come with a plan. Nefesh B’Nefesh can help but they cannot you give skills for employment (or skills for Kollel). I don’t know your Hashkafic views or financial situation and both of those determine where and how you live. If you are a young family I recommend a religious settlement. You have Hariedi yishuvim such as: Tel Tzion and Beitar. Dati Leumi like Beit-El and Kedumim, Modern Orthodox like Efrat. Ramat Beit Shemesh is best for Hareidi Americans to acclimate to Israeli life but it’s not cheap. Also, when you are part of a smaller comunnity like a settlement, finding work close to home is easier. This is because local businesses hire local residents. There are also, jobs for women such as teachers, ganenet, maon, or local government offices. If your Hebrew is good and you have some higher education there are jobs to be found. Good luck
