Its a pilot merry go round, fundamentally because its much of a muchness regards terms and conditions, lifestyles.
Many who work in the UK are happy to earn GBP 120000 for say J2 , but then pay GBP 46000 out of that a year income and N.I tax. Nasty.
I work out in the far east and tax is a flat 15%. On a salary of GBP300000 plus /year. Its a personal choice. I like not having to worry about the cost
my kids university fees or booking a five star resort with business class travel for all the family.
I looked at NLH for my post retirement, but the prospect of depositing Euro 30-40000 into their bank account (yep they still want this), in order to work for them seemed abhorrent.
You know that you can also give them a bank guarantee. You only pay the interest then, which should be around 1000-2000€.
