EK, How Are They?

Been only 16 I cant count all my chickens before they have hatched soo the saying goes. But what I can do is ask for opinions from people who are either in the job or have very good knowledge about it.

My Question is this, Is working for EK all it is hyped up to be?

There are various airlines and countries I wouldn’t mind living in when older and EK and Dubai is one of them. I am also getting told by dad ‘tax free you wont know what to do with yourself’. I have had a look on there website and with all the perks (money they put up there) a first officer basic wage starting out, everything included is around £72K. Captain is around £95K. (1AED = 0.153 of the queens money)

What’s the lifestyle like, the rostering etc?
And mainly
How do you get treated as a pilot at EK?

All answers are greatly appreciated and am sorry if I got it in the wrong
sub forum.
