I've heard a couple of names of Australians from overseas who've been offered jobs with VA. Of course it's just one man's opinion, but they've taken on some really good guys and some really ...(If you've seen 'Momma Mia!', "...dot dot dot") guys.
(Again, just one man's opinion), but they've been particularly lucky in some of the people they've lured away from EK. However, the one common thread when you look at most of those people is that they had really pressing reasons to want to return home, (reasons I'm not going to go into here), but suffice to say, they were so pressing that they overrode money considerations.
Translation: they've accepted taking a really heavy hit in the hip pocket after deciding the other factors were more important.
