However in all fairness unless you’re lucky enough to already own a place in HK, it has the highest real estate costs in the world (rental or buying). The lower tax here is more than offset by the high rents.
The one big advantage of US (and even most EU) jobs is a certain amount of control over your lifestyle/career earnings. We never had most of that here, but at least we had financial certainty. Now with our new “contract” that certainty is gone, and in addition to having little/no control over leave/days off/fleet/workload, you have no idea how much you can expect to make and save.
Makes it a potentially interesting short term job but a hard sell as a career airline, especially with family.
