Get rich in China?

Sorry as I expect this may have been done already ........

Many job ads out there at the moment offering USD 300,000 net (net!) a year, full time contracts. USD 200,000+ for 4 week-on, 4 week-off commuter contracts, again net pay.

This is massively more than you can earn as a short-haul Captain in Europe. Even the 'part-time' option nets more than double what I get in Europe full time.

Accepting it's in China, and not 50 miles up the motorway, what is the catch?

Heard LOTS of bad stuff about rostering, hotels, leave, etc. But this is Vs a frankly huge level of remuneration on offer.

You'd have to have a mercenary attitude to do it, but Vs the money is it really such a bad deal?

I'd be looking for 3-5 years max of this to finish off the mortgage early.

Thoughts?
