Have you ruled out the possibility of finding a job in Israel ahead of your arrival?
Many people apply for jobs and interview while on a pilot trip.

I don't have any job suggestions right now, but know:
OP, you've got a good head on your shoulders you're right that it would be best for one of you, at least, to have a steady job while the other is looking, and then you can switch off.
If it's just the two of you, then you would live very comfortably through the next few years, and with a couple young kids, on a full time job of 45 shekels an hour, which translates right now to roughly $14/hr.
So you can make that your minimum goal number, net, for any job.
Like a poster above said: know if you can handle the hours. A 9-5 job in the States will be a 3-11 pm job here. If you're working in customer service or something similar, bear in mind that you're going to be working on American hours.
And hatzlacha! Tell us when you're landing, so we can help you with anything you need!

Really? I've found that unless you're in a highly sought-after profession (engineer?), You're politely looked over until you actually cross the border. No company I've ever met has been willing to hold a job while an Oleh is still sorting out their paperwork.

I work in hi tech as well and all the companies I've worked for had this policy.

Look into being a virtual assistant. You can work with people around the world. I work with many international clients.
