Dear Diz,
I would not be too disappointed if I was you about the difference in salary...
You say that you get around half of what FZ is offering , are you sure ?
The basic for a captain per month is around 4600 Euros , the housing and transport allowances around 3000 Euros and the sector pay is roughly 28 Euros/Hrs.
You will need at least 2/3 of you allowances if you want to live in a European standard house or apartment and don't forget that if you need to go to the doctor or loose your medical etc... the coverage here is a lot less than what we are used to in Europe.
So I don't really think that you would be able to get twice your European salary after all is paid...
Lot of guys realize now that they have made a mistake and are looking to move to another company.
