With my background, I have recently been contacted by a CX Recruiter and they offer me the cadet opportunity.
But then at the same time, I don't want to settle down in Hong Kong for good, because, let's face it, HK is not the same anymore, and it is headed in one way.
I am wondering, how would you guys choose between the Cadet Opportunity VS a Second Passport?
Depends if you're in it for the money or because you want to be a pilot.

It will take you 5-7 years to earn over 60k/month if you join as a cadet. If you factor compound as well as further career promotion and pay rise with your current career then the pay gap will be massive.
