Flying on bizjets is fun: Seeing another city everyday, landing everyday on a new airport, no commercial pressure (they don't look at every extra kg of fuel you spent or blaim you because you made a go-around), reduced paperwork, no difficult passengers, more freedom, etc...

Career perspectives in Europe are excellent, with all actual bizjet carriers ordering many many aircraft: for example, Netjets recently ordered 50+ aircraft including Falcon's and Hawker's.
The VLJ's are also starting to invade the continent with Turkish carriers ordering a few hundreds of them.

The atmosphere is relaxed because profit margins are way higher.

If you rather have a routine job, then commercial flying is a better option.

I've seen many captains swap their commercial job for an entry at Netjets as F/O.
