Quickturnaround.... To my knowledge noone is leaving EK these days....many are joining...
To chose not to join EK after the interview, on grounds of not being able to chose where to live in misinformed. Anyone can take the liveout allowance and chose a house of ones (wife) likeing.
There has been pay increase recently...
All in all a nice place to live. Maybe one day the heat will fry my brain and I will want to go home...but I am not well done yet!
