So back to the facts about Wizz Air;

Pros:
Friendly enviroment among the flying crew
Eastern Europe(low expenses, interesting cities)
Modern fleet/proper maintenance
Good for hour building
Good for experience building(short rwys and challenging)

Cons:
Poor management, under top management
Scheduling team terrible
Fatigue is still playing a part in Wizz, though it has minimized during the last years
Early morning checkins, and late checkouts
Not the highest salary among the low cost companies

Wizz Air is a safe airline, but you are being used to the max each year. That is why the best thing is to join as a FO WITH a TR, else you will get almost no salary each month. The captains are earning ok tbh, and with another payrise in horizon it will only improve.

Junior FO without TR: approx 2200 euros per month
Junior FO with TR: approx 2500 euros per month
Senior FO: approx 3000 euros per month

Junior CPT: 4000-4500 euros per month
CPT: from 5000-7000 euros per month

All after taxes, which you have to sort out yourself, unless local contract and so on...

Wizz Air is not an airline for long term, but short-medium term, until you leave for Easy or one of the ME3, however 10 years in the company is doable.
