If the west is so good why not get a job as a pilot there...oh right cause the pay is worse than what CX pays.
Pay is only a number. The real measurement is whether a career move gives you a better lifestyle or not. That is the bottom line.
What lifestyle has living in Hong Kong given you compared to where you came from? Are you happier here than in your native country? Does your family believe they are better off now that they live in Hong Kong? Do they enjoy life more than they did before coming to Hong Kong? Why did they leave? And, just to give everyone a reference, what country or region did you come from? You don't have to answer that last question if you are concerned about anonymity.
I pose the lifestyle questions to you because those are the questions that anyone considering a move to Hong Kong should be asking. And, they need to understand the factors, such as inflation and other market pressures in Hong Kong that will affect their answers. That's what this thread is about.
