You forgot to add that we’re all alcoholics too according to AvMed.
Did my stint in CX. Effectively used it as a CV builder before going home a few years back. Never been happier. Most of the Armageddon scenarios probably wont actually happen but bear in mind it IS a relentlessly negative place to work and, for some, a borderline depressing experience. HK isn’t a walk in the park either. And financially it’s even worse on the D Scale. These days with a licence and a pulse you almost certainly have better options than SO at CX.
As you may gather, I still pop in here occasionally to remind other potential victims of the above. I consider it my own way of paying it back 🙂
