Guys, apologies for crashing the CX thread here but it seemed like the best place to post this question. I'd like to address the salary question from the opposite perspective - I'm a bizjet guy and been offered a left seat with a HKG base. I haven't signed the contract but the salary on offer, all in, is coming to $150K HKD/month, no other allowances like house/school. I have a wife, 2 kids, plus 1 on the way. I haven't signed the contract yet but from reading all your posts here am starting to get a bit nervous.
For all you guys out there who have families - is this enough to live on? When I say 'live' I mean send kids to decent international school, rent a place that isn't a shoe-box on 99th floor, run a small car, and still have a bit left over to put in the kitty?
Thanks for your time.
