Then you are putting yourself in a postion no better than this guy working in Portugal.
Err, not exactly. See the world region on brackets.
Maybe you know better about wage levels in Latin America or some 'cheap' countries. Or should I expect salary levels comparable to those in the UK?
I only meant that I would bite the bullet and take paycut relocating if really wanted.

While I in no way intend to do wage dumping (and no, I would not do the training only to earn less than I make now, still rubbish) in Western/Northern Europe, one has to admit that even skilled jobs get different salaries across the world.

Compare USA, UK, Norway, Australia, Ecuador, Botswana, Vietnam etc as a sample. I do not mean expat contractors temping, just 'local workforce'. Even 'developed countries' have salary differences. Whether pilot jobs or mechanics/eng jobs.

Maybe I'm not bothered to write essays every single time I write something so that people misconstrue my thoughts/meaning less than 90% of the time.
